    The center of the beam in my unit is about .5 mils right of the center of the reticle and perhaps .2 or so high. I have marked the spot in the below image. I have slipped a little hand drawn diagram of this into the rangefinder pouch in case I forget. Fortunately, the Vector's reticle has fine...

    X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions

    For a couple years now I have been attempting to range a giant causeway and bridge across one of the reservoirs local to me here in central Ohio. I have probably fired well over 100 beams at every part of the bridge and causeway over the years without ever getting a return in daylight. I was...

    New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

    This thread has essentially been moved over to the one Frank started at X - Vectronix Shooting Solutions. There are actually a couple Vector X zombie threads floating around. They really should be all combined or perhaps these abandoned ones just locked.

    2024 BigJimFish Review / Article blog: PurePrecision, Precision Straight-Walled Cartridge Rifle, Proof, XTPS trigger, Levels

    Update 8-24-2024 I believe I am finished doing the testing on the G2 Sig 10k binos and I’m probably around half way though writing up the review. I took a lot of different comparison photos between the G1 and G2 units in order to find one that I think best illustrates the color difference...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    I believe I have finished up my testing on the G2 10k unit and I'm about half way though writing the review. Hopefully I'll be able to finish up the writing over the next couple days. Just as I did with the original 10k unit I played around a little ranging at night and was able to range the...

    I do not have to hold the range button down a few seconds to wake the unit. Just pressing the range button wakes it up. It does not have to be held. After pressing to wake, It does then take a second to boot up at which point pressing the range button again ranges. This is not different than on...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    I know a lot of folks are interested in comparison photos between the G1 and G2 10k units. I believe this is a good comparison that captures the difference well. Also, as an added bonus, just as in the famous Monty Python "How not to be seen" skit, there are in fact two people in these photos...

    Yes, the Vector X glass is in the league of Leica geovids. When compared to my Geovid Pro 32's the Vector X showed slightly more resolution and had a bigger FOV. Both optics were quite good and about equivalent on chromatic aberration and I thought the Geovids had a bit more contrast and were...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    They will certainly me mentioned as optical and ranging comparisons in each others reviews. I'm not planning on writing a separate direct comparison article though.

    The are not totally tubular. The diameter at the very end where they interface with your eye socket after a sharp taper for the last quarter inch is 1.68". Once you reach what looks like the full diameter, about .25" from the end the diameter is 1.76". This gradually tapers to 1.77" at the base...

    Sig Kilo 10K Gen 2

    I spent some time at a nature reserve today with this years two laser range finding binos I have on hand for review, the Gen 2 Sig 10k and Vectronix Vector X. The idea was basically so spend some time in nature with the little one, get some pretty photos though the binos, and do a little...

    Update 8-13-2024 Marsupial sadness, bring back the bungee! Some of you may remember that I did an addendum to my 2022 review of the Leica Geovid Pro’s to complement how much I liked the Marsupial Gear No-Mag enclosed binocular pack. I went to pick up a second one this year only to find they...

    I have been spending some time the past few weeks doing optical evaluations of laser rangefinders. I mentioned in my earlier impressions that I thought the Vectronix Vector X was quite good optically. My further testing has certainly born this out. I actually found them to edge out the excellent...

    Update 7-27-2024 The last couple weeks have been pretty busy. I loaded up and tested 8 different bullet / powder combinations including both the most often recommended powder for 350L, H110, and CFEBLK which, is on the far slow burning edge of powders for which load data exists for the 350L...

    Update 7-18-2024 No update on the Calypso software yet but I have been playing with the Vector X some more both at the range and in the backyard and have a few observations. First off, I took it to the range and used it as a spotter in conjunction with the screw on range extenders. In this...

    I do. I texted Nick from AB about it and for the two to work together I need to push a firmware update to both the binos and the calypso. I should be getting the beta software to accomplish this this week. I was also not yet about to find a pairing ability with the Calypso on the 10k's and I...
