Reviews & Ratings for SIG SAUER Kilo 3000 BDX 10x42 Rangefinder Binoculars — 14 reviews — Page 1

Accurate, easy to use. i would recommend. When paired with bdx scope. Makes it even better, with out it is a great range finder, and a nice set of binos, and a great quality bag to carry with you. Bag has lanyard and binos have lanyard, fast focus and fast results form the range finder. Range finder and scope work fast with each other as well.

After un packing I went for a drive to give them a good test. At first I was having trouble focusing them and I was a little disappointed. Finally I got the diopters loosened up and adjusted so no complaints on the clarity. On my drive I was spotting and ranging deer. Every mule deer I saw and ranged it impressively showed me a distance. The farthest mule deer ranged to date 1752 yards. I am blown away. I have used a gunwerks g2 I would choose these hands down over the gunwerks.

Great rangefinder binos for money clear and ranges fast. Great value. Pretty good clarity. Would recommend. Touch heavy but they all are when comes rangefinder binos. Has nice carry case to go along very adjustable.

I own high end scopes (nightforce, burris and many more) and the Sig Kilo's are very clear. Understand, they are not 3000$ glass but for the functionality and what you get, worth every dollar. Even without the scope, I would recommend.

Excellent Product - just as you would expect from Sig Sauer! I love these Binoculars and they connect with my Sig Sauer BDX Scope just like the instructions say. The app also allows software updates for the paired devices and I can still swap the pairing back to my Sig Sauer monocular rangefinder or to these binoculars.

Two comments: (1) I wish Sig Sauer offered with the Binoculars a set of Lens Caps and (2) I wish Sig offered these Rangefinding Binoculars in a 12x42 or 12x50 model in this compact size.

I highly recommend these Binoculars!

Absolutely superb glass for the money, probably won't be able to get noticeably better glass for at least another 1000 dollars. The LRF is fantastic and super fast at ranging well over 1000 yards. Then the Bluetooth data exchange feature so it can talk to Garmin and Kestrel is just cream on top! You won't get the same feature set any where. The terrapin-x is only comparable LRF but it's not a binoculars and it's only 8X. The Kilo3000 simply has no peer!

Absolutely love these binoculars! They have very clear glass and the range finder works immaculately! I would not hesitate to use these binoculars in any situation for a long distance shot. I definitely would recommend these to anyone wanting a great product!

Had these about a week (9-23-20). I already have the Leica B2000 range finder ($700ish at the time) which is a great LRF! But I needed a pair of binos to replace my 20 year old pair. So I decided two in one might be better.

The pros & cons

The pros:
The glass is extremely crisp and clear! So clear I almost had a slight headache the first hr I was looking through them. The ability to independently adjust both left and right oculars is very nice! They are a bit stiff but they stay put after you adjust them an that's important! The fast focus on top is not as stiff but enough it wont move and holds its position well. The LRF is fast! I've already ranged out to 3,376 yrds (the farthest I've hit so far). I do not know what the beam divergernce is, unfortunately it's not listed. The Leica has a .4 beam divergence if I remember which makes for extremely great accuracy. The outer shell has a armor like rubberized feel makin it great for summer days if your sweating, or if it gets wet. This aids in keeping a solid grip on them. Also it's water proof up to a meter I think, which is nice if you're going to be out hunting in wet or snowy conditions. The case is nice. It's a 3 pt contact sling so it stays secure and close but out of the way. The top of the case flips down so you can get to them fairly quickly. The BDX system is awesome paired up to my kestrel Elete! It's fast and easy. And the app is easy to use too. Not much different than the Kestrel app. Having the ability to custo...

First the good, they appear to range well, and for the price you get a lot for your money. I’ll give Sig a lot of credit for bringing the Bluetooth integration to these products because it should have been out years ago. For the $ it’s hard to complain too much about what you get. Sig is definitely pushing the value for your money category.

That said I do have some issues with the unit. First the lack of lens caps, this is a huge oversight, especially since the binoculars objective lens is only 1-2 mm recessed from the end of the binocular housing. It’s way too easy to damage or scratch a lens in the case etc. Second the unit has a great range of manual brightness settings, but the “Auto” brightness setting is way too dim in flat light and overcast conditions. Third the color tint on the right lens (I assume this lens contains the rangefinder display) has a very obviously blue/green tint. I’ve looked through and own other range finding binoculars and none of them have this drastic a tint. So if you think the image is going to compare to higher dollar units, it simply won’t, but they are 3x the price.

...when you compare it to against the swarosvki EL and leica Geovid HD-B 3000 (also in the same top notch quality and price is the Zeiss Victory RF, but was not able to test it. I just compared the RFs against the Zeiss victory HT - all 10x42.
The victory ht is not a RF but it's in terms of clarity, color, and low light ability is above all the other brands for my eyes
As a rangefinder the Sig performs quite well -actually better than the swaro and the leica in terms of accuracy, and only the leica beats it as getting the readings more consistent at max range.
But then it shows why it is cheaper...
There is a noticeable purple fringe, sharpness suffer a little bit too, and when it gets a bit dark, clarity is not par either. Color rendition, OOF or blur quality (as in how distractive becomes and separates the background) is also lower.
However we are talking an unit that cost on average three times less than all the others I mention; so in all, it's a remarkable RF but handicapped as a binocular.
Buy it for the RF capabilities - btw, it's a breeze to connect to the app - do not recommended for long anytime glassing use.
