Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Your thoughts on Sig optics ?

What are your thoughts on Sig optics ,in particular looking at 3-18x illuminated also what about their range finders ,angle compensated ?

I have a Kilo 2000 range finder and it has been perfect for three years. No idea about the scopes.

I’ve got a lower end illuminated scope that was a huge bargain sitting on a 25-06 no issues. The rangefinders are first rate - best bang for the buck they have driven the market to longer ranges at lower prices.

Please define what you call a bargain scope ,I'm looking at a 3-18x with range finder for $966 and change ? Bargain or not ?

Why buy anything that says Sig on it for $966 in optics?

I have the same SIG rangefinder, no problems whatsoever. Very accurate.

OUCH

I've looked through several and own a Romeo 5 dot sight. Not just with Sig, but at similar price points the glass is going to be pretty much the same regardless of the manufacturer. Sig offers optics at several price points and they are no different. If you buy a $200 scope from anyone they will be very similar. Same with a $500 or $1000 scope.

The difference is in the features. Do you like the reticle choices. Are the focus, windage and elevation adjustment dials to your liking. What about eye relief, scope weight, and general appearance. Some scopes look like you're peering through a cardboard tube with a thick black ring showing around the edges. Others have much less black showing. Once I settle on a price point those are the deciding factors to me.

I agree that most optics are more alike than different at a particular price point, with some notable exceptions.

But once that is established, there are two other BIG things to consider - customer service and warranty.

Original purchaser only? Original receipt needed? A few years only, or lifetime? What if you dropped it and admit it, will it still be fixed? Will the manufacturer send you small parts for free like turret caps or eye cups that you lost or damaged?

To me, that's big - very big.

Features? Glass? Warranty?



How about whether the scope actually works.

This. I don’t have nearly the bucks or the experience of a lot of folks on this site and forum, so I want it to do the thing I bought it for and all other concerns follow. Usually that’s track accurately with glass that meets my purposes.
