What is the Best Scope for Hunting? (And Why Almost Everyone Chooses Wrong)

What is the best scope for hunting? For nearly every big game hunter, a 1-6X or 1-8X LPVO — and if your first reaction is “I need more magnification,” this article is written for you. Independent data sets put the average big game shot at roughly 130-145 yards, nearly half are taken inside 100, most cartridges hit their ethical ceiling around 400, and every bit of extra magnification costs you field-of-view exactly when you need it most.

Tango Fire 4000 vs Sightlok RF-1

Considering the Tango Fire 4000? Don’t buy it. It has no built-in environmental sensors and it’s outranged by a $130 handheld Sig Sauer rangefinder. It also suffers the same wide, diagonal beam divergence problem as the Vortex Impact 4000, so you’ll have trouble ranging cleanly around brush, trees and other clutter near the target.

Sig WMLRF KILO WARP Rangefinder – Potentially Huge Implications

Sig Sauer’s much-anticipated weapon-mounted laser rangefinder (WMLRF), the KILO WARP, will be released soon. The KILO WARP uses the same engine and laser from the SIG KILO 10K and comes with the Applied Ballistics Elite (AB Elite) on board. Straight off the bat, one concern is the Bluetooth remote. Will there be delays introduced by Continue Reading…

Review of Sig KILO5K – Problems, Pros, and Cons

Problem #1: Sig Forcing Users to Update Firmware and Disabling BDX Scopes and Rangefinders if the User Declines, and these Firmware Updates Are Known to Brick Rangefinders.

Honest Sig KILO8K-ABS Review – List of Known Problems

Problem #1: Firmware updates can brick the KILO8K and Sig disables the unit if you don’t update the firmware. You’re heading out for a day of shooting, you connect to the App, and suddenly you’re forced to either update the firmware, or Sig disables the rangefinder.

Advantages of LPVO For Hunters

This learning journey for us started in 2009 reading competition shooting expert Zak Smith’s Long Range Optics Update on his Demigod LLC website. Zak writes: “How much magnification do you need? The answer is less than you might think. The scope needs to provide a clear image of the target for a well-defined sight picture. Continue Reading…

Don’t Buy Garmin Xero X1i Before Reading This Review and List of Problems

Should you buy a Garmin Xero X1i? Absolutely not. A fixed 3.5X magnification on a weapon used at 22 yards, a field-of-view of just 6.5 feet at 25 yards, a $1,400 price tag, a rangefinder that can’t be removed for state law compliance, and a mount that sits too high and won’t take standard rings.

Burris Oracle X Problems

For a few years, Oracle X has been the “go-to” rangefinding scope option for crossbows. However, in the past 6 months, there have been 2 new product releases that, when combined, put the Oracle X scope to shame. The most important was the release of the Sig Sauer EASY6-BDX 1-6X scope. The Sig has the Continue Reading…

Sig Sauer EASY6-BDX 1-6X Superior to Burris Oracle X For Crossbow Shooters

Attention Crossbow shooters: Forget Burris Oracle X. Sig Sauer’s BDX scopes, especially the EASY6-BDX 1-6X, when combined with a Sightlok RF-1 mount, are a far superior solution. Here’s why: 1. Build-in rangefinding Prior to the introduce of the Sightlok RF-1, the main advantage the Oracle X had over the Sig BDX scopes was rangefinder integration. Continue Reading…

WARNING:

You are attempting to purchase a Sightlok RF-1 mount with no mounting accessories. If you do so, you will only be able to mount it using some non-standard route like bolting it to your MLOK handguard, buying a clamp from a 3rd party, or using it with a tripod. Are you sure you want to do this?
