Sig glass quality

[5RWill]

So just received our 2200bdx glass is alright, it’s usable for a rangefinder but i really like the idea of the 3000Bdx only skeptical part is the quality of glass. Does anyone have experience with their binos? What kind of glass quality am i looking at here? I’d gladly take pst binos level of quality.

As far as I know they have yet to ship one and they may not even manufacture it now. Hopefully they eventually decide to release it.

Liberty has a promotional price going on and supposedly we’ll see them in 4-6 weeks.

Im more curious about the quality of glass on their binos. Looking up zulu7 reviews now.

I have a set of these on order with Liberty. I too had a hard time finding a good review of Sig bino glass. For the feature set, I imagine I'll still be hanging on to them as long as it's passable.

FWIW, we just got this link to the 2019 full Sig line catalog so I thought this would as good a place as any to share it. Optics in the back of the book

Look forward to checking them out next week at DSC, but been field testing out a 4.5-14 Sierra level BDX scope this past week. Actually quite surprised at how good it is so far....suspect that the binos will be at the same level, as they are supposed to be Zulu 5 level optics, but don't know.

Got to look through a pair. They're definitely nice.

Did you look through a pair of Zulus, or the BDX?

And what optic from Vortex, Leupold, maybe lower end Zeiss, would you compare them to?

 

[Aaros143]

The BDX 3000. I have a pair of the mid range SIG binos. They're better than that.

 

[catorres1]

Huh....may have to pick some of those up to test! Been impressed with the other BDX stuff I have been trying out....son needs a new RF and a new set of binos....

 

[Aaros143]

I have a Kilo 2200MR and a set pf binos that Im gonna off load so I can pick a set up.

I have the Zulu 9 15x56 binos. To me they’re very nice, but I’m not an expert on glass quality. I have limited experience with Leica and the leupold 15x and the sigs are on par with the leupold but not the Leica. It’s also half the price of the Leica, and it’s not too far off from Leica.
