Excellent range finder - SIG SAUER Kilo850 4x20mm Rangefinder

The Sig Sauer Kilo850 is an excellent optic at a great price. I had no problem ranging deer and trees out to 450 meters. I also experimented with the Hyper Scan, Line of Sight (LOS), and Angle Modified Range (AMR) modes. Hyper scan works great but the manual states a typical battery (CR2) lasts for about 4000 scans and excessively using hyper scan mode, 4 scans per second, will readily drain the battery. The LOS mode does exactly as stated, line of sight to your target. Since I had no intention of recreational shooting beyond 700 meters, this feature wasn't important to me. The AMR mode was impressive. I used it to scan a range to the top of a major metal power pole to simulate ranging from a valley to a peak. I was quite surprised at the proper hold over range as opposed to the line of sight range values. Overall a great value and, in my opinion, a better unit than the Leopold RX1000 I had in Afghanistan. The ONLY reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it uses a CR2 battery which is a little odd to come by. One is included in the box, but I would have preferred a CR123 battery to be compatible with the rest of my gear. Having said that, this would have slightly increased the case size of the unit which now easily fits in my shirt pocket. Hope this review helps.
