    Sig Kilo 10k ABS

    Communication between the 10k and BaseMap is slllloooowwww as Joe Biden when the media asks him a question. If you just wait 30sec or so without getting impatient and pushing buttons it will show up. Not sure what is up with it as it isn't always that slow, but sometimes it is. Give it a try...

    2022 BigJimFish Review/Article blog: Leica Geovid Pro, Mantis X10 Elite, Sightron PLR FFP

    Update 10/4/2022 The bug in the Muzzle Velocity truing function in the Sig BDX app has been corrected. Note: On existing ballistic profiles you must trick the binos into genuinely updating the profile for the fix to work. This means changing something major in the profile, syncing it, changing...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO Reticle choices

    I would love to try a reticle with nothing at all above center on a scope with really good glass sometime to see how it did with trace. I feel like it would be awesome. Everything I have has at least 2 mils above though....

    Rifle Scopes ZCO Reticle choices

    I voted MPCT1 with my wallet as well. Lately, I have been appreciating more open reticles in order to better see impacts on target and trace. In the case of the .22lr, not so much trace as the actual bullet in flight. The better the glass, the more I feel this way as you get more benefit of...

    New Leica Geovid Pro and AB upgrade for legacy .com products

    My understanding is that nothing in the on board calculation engine of the 3200's can be changed. That capability is just not in the hardware. Regarding the migration to the new app: I do believe an improvement in bluetooth range and stability is expected. This was evidently something the...

    Light weight scope options

    The Sightron SIII PLR 6-24x50 FFP I am reviewing right now fits your bill well. This is the same optical platform as the SIII mil-mil FFP I reviewed a few years back but with massively improved turrets. They are now 10mil / turn and have a zero stop. They also have a really great feel. Very...

    2022 BigJimFish Review/Article blog: Leica Geovid Pro, Mantis X10 Elite, Sightron PLR FFP

    Update 9-15-2022 The Sightron SIII 6-24x50 PLR FFP scope arrived yesterday. I'm excited about this as the previous SIII 6-24x50 ffp that I reviewed three years ago has continued to impress me, optically since that time. It has proven particularly resistant to having any issues in poor lighting...

    I must have miss spoken. You need to use the app to true your ballistic data. You just do not need to be connected to the binos when you do it. You can true using existing field data that you have from past range sessions.

    2022 BigJimFish Review/Article blog: Leica Geovid Pro, Mantis X10 Elite, Sightron PLR FFP

    Yes, while the binos are connected you can get to the range and target cards. Sig has chosen to put both of these on the live ranging screen. When not connected a notice of non-connection pops up and can't be dismissed. This effectively blocks you from using any of the options on that screen...

    The BIG 3 Bino/Rangefinders (or 4?) Swaro EL RF, Leica 3200’s , Sig 10K or Ziess?

    A Short(ish) discussion of the merits of Leica Geovid Pro 32's vs Sig Kilo 10K - HDs A number of folks have been interested in comparing the Sig Kilo 10k's with the Leica Geovid pro's since the release of these two new flagship products. Quite frankly, I think the consumer is right here in...

    Update 9-1-202 The Sig Kilo10k-ABS HD laser rangefinding binoculars review is done and posted. Good heavens these things range a long way. I managed to range a not so heavy person out to 2,100yds. That is just crazy. I may write a short comparison between the Leica Geovid Pros and these Sig...

    Leupold MK5 with the PR 2 Reticle

    The degree to which the Mk5 series can handle both the hunting role and the competition role is really unique. Nothing else does that as well.

    Spotters Leica Geovid Pro 10x32

    Hmm, your right, he clearly shows ballistic solutions well beyond 800M in the Swaro EL ranges with TA. I have no idea how they have avoided euro regs.

    2022 BigJimFish Review/Article blog: Leica Geovid Pro, Mantis X10 Elite, Sightron PLR FFP

    The Sig 10k's are actually a Class 1M laser. This is more powerful than the Class 1 in most laser rangefinding products including the Geovid Pros. Class 1M is eye safe only when not focused. I'm inquiring more with the Sig folks about what exactly this means as regards this particular product...

    Spotters Leica Geovid Pro 10x32

    The Swaros I have seen do not provide ballistic solutions beyond 800M. They continue to provide range further but don't provide drop and windage solutions beyond 800m. Perhaps this has changed since I last spoke to their reps a few years ago but I am not aware of it.

    Leica CRF 3500 Spinning Reticle

    I have seen the spinning reticle on my Leica Geovid Pro's when it is undergoing a firmware update while connected to the app. Perhaps, yours was interrupted mid update and is now looking for it's marbles. I would try connecting with the app and seeing if this fixes it. If not, I believe...

    2022 BigJimFish Review/Article blog: Leica Geovid Pro, Mantis X10 Elite, Sightron PLR FFP

    Update 8-22-2022 Leica has released the Ballistics 1.1 update along with an associated firmware update for the binoculars themselves. This update fixes the potential for an incomplete ballistic profile transfer when the profile is changed in the app at a time the binoculars are not active. With...
