I've got the kilo 2000. It gives wicked fast and accurate readings. Haven't had a chance to use it in archery season much though.

 

I'm curious if it'll pick up black 3D targets because so many brands have issues with them.

It is an awesome range finder. I took it elk hunting and was picking things up past 2000 yards. A little overkill for the treestand, but this thing is quick and accurate. Worth every penny if you need to hit some long range targets. Plus I have seen them around 350 now vs 500. I tried about all of them in that price range and I have no regrets.

 

I'm hunting the Midwest and shooting 3D so I'm looking at either the Kilo 850 or Leupold RX 650. I know the Leupold will work fine but for the same price I can get angle compensation with the Sig

In for any info. I have it narrowed down between the Kilo 2000 and vortex 1500. All the reviews I read on the Sig were really good. Going for elk in Wyoming next year so I want a good one.

 

I found the kilo to pick up 3d targets very well, but that is only in the yard. I had a bushnell and it really struggled with some of the same targets so my limited opinion puts the kilo a vast improvement over it.

 

Pretty sure it was cabelas that ran a sale on them but it doesn't look like it now!

 

i have the kilo2000, love it so far, used it archery hunting and it worked very well, very nice unit.

 

The kilo is hands down the better rangefinder. Quick reading, and picks up target very well. Hunted with it last year and it performed flawlessly. The other benefit is that it automatically adjusts the brightness of the reticle/readout based on the lighting so you never have to struggle to pick up the reading.

 

Have a Sig Kilo 2000 and feel it's one of the best rangefinders available. Compared it with my friends that have the Leica CRF 1600, Vortex Ranger 1500, and Leupold RX-1200i and we all felt the Sig was the best rangefinder of the bunch. Clear glass and not overly busy reticle (biggest complaint of the RX-1200i), fast and repeatable readings, and auto adjust brightness and angle compensation are nice, usable features as well.

 

Does it range in light fog or drizzling rain or does any one know of any the has rain mode? My first rangefinder years ago had that function.

 

I tried mine in a light snow, worked fine. It doesn't have a " button" for it though, like my bushnell does.

 

A buddy of mine got a Sig Kilo (don't remember the exact model) this past summer and said he absolutely loves it. He said it worked in the fog when everyone else's wouldn't. He was also able to get it at a much cheaper price than the Leupold as well.

I just picked up the kilo 2000 last week. Awesome range finder! With my old Nikon aculon I had problems ranging certain dark 3D targets and sometimes trees, etc. With the kilo 2000 I have no issues whatsoever. I went to my local archery range and tested it on about 30 different foam targets...It worked perfectly on all of them! Fast readings too. Played with it outside ranging trees, bushes, etc at all different distances, So far it has ranged everything I have tried. I picked it up on sale at Cabelas for $350 which I thought was a really good deal. Not sure if they are still running the sale.

 

One of the guys I shoot long range with bought one, very repeatable and great glass. It's way nicer than my Swarovski and our other buddies Leica.

Thanks everyone. I guess I may pick up the 850 instead of the Leupold. The 2000 is overkill for me and I can't see spending $300 plus to treestand hunt in Illinois and shoot local 3D

I'm not trying to push you one way or the other but something to consider.. I treestand hunted a couple of years with a Nikon Aculon with a black (non lighted) display. While narrowing down my search for a new rangefinder one of my "must haves" was a red (lighted) display. In those early morning or sun setting hours which are the prime deer times I wanted to be able to get clear, legible readings 100% of the time. With a black display that can sometimes be difficult or next to impossible depending on the conditions. Of course manufacturers aren't dumb and put this option on the higher end models. In the end I decided it was worth it to get the features I wanted. Just something to think about.

 

right now can't find any sales on the sig so I will continue to watch. I have been noticing that the vortex 1500 is running an average of $80-100 cheaper. Is the sig worth the extra $100

 

I would go with the 1500. Much better in low light. Love mine. I can't tell you how much fast it was than the vortex I replaced

 

Just ordered a Kilo 2000 on SWFA yesterday for $349.99. They may still have some left???

 

Sig has great reviews, came down to a Magnetospeed V-3 or a Sig Kilo to spend my Cabels gift card. V-3 won out.
In luck, they just went on sale today at SWFA.

An ad stated that the kilo 2000 is being discontinued, what will be replacing it

 

That's what I thought right after I bought mine, every body said no way they are, they are just going to make a better ( more expensive one) but they would always have the 2000 to, fill the nitch. But I have a feeling they are no more.

 

Looks like the kilo 2400 will be replacing it

 

Wow, just looked that up, am I seeing it right, the 2400 is $600,

 

Good comparison of the Sig to a Vectronix and Leica.

Just a note on the Sig, the eye cup is adjustable to set eye relief. The rubber eye cup is not glued on or anything and I actually managed to lose mine rather quickly. I phoned Sig and they aren't able to send me a replacement to Canada and the Canadian distributor is unable to get a replacement... kinda disappointed in the customer service. Unfortunately, if I lived in the states, Sig would've been able to send me one the day I phoned.

So if anyone can get me a rubber eye cup for a kilo rangefinder, I'd really appreciate it haha

 

Just picked up a Leupold rx 650 for $157 new and a Sig Kilo 850 for $140 new so I'll test them and keep the better of the 2. I know both are at the lower end of the brands but for 3D and treestand hunting I just can't justify dropping over $300 for a rangefinder.

Were did you find the Sig for $140? Cheapest I could find was $160.

 

question on the kilo 2000. With it being discontinued, will someone be able to get theirs fixed if they should run into any problems,(warranty work). I am shocked that they would discontinue a model that has received great reviews. The one below the 2000 has mixed reviews, something about the numbers being hard to read, not bright enough, and the next model is $100 plus more and seems a bit more complex.

 

I did not read all the posts. But I was going to return my 2000, as they are discontinuing them. But I called sign customer service and talked to them. I was told they are replacing it with a newer model, it will have a differant bar code. And then they will offer the 2400. I asked about the warranty and he said they have an" infinity" warranty. If it ever brakes they will take care of it he said. So I hope that's true, but time will tell.
