[QUOTE="heat_and_fam, post: 3048719, member: 127383"] My sig Kilo has refused to range even out to 40 yards (en estimate because again, it wouldn't range) on animals in temps below freezing. I packed 2 new batteries this last fall after it failed on me in the snow the prior November. If I put it in my pants and warm the entire unit up (the rangefinder that is), it comes back to life. Sig told me tough luck, it's old, and not designed to last forever, but cold weather performance is a concern. Works great when it's not winter weather and it's exposed to the elements for a week, rangefinder pouch with a hand warmer wouldn't keep it functioning. I also do t like the lack much magnification, makes it tough been from prone to get a for sure range on an elk sized animal at say 800-1000 yds…the reticle is just too large to be sure what it’s actually ranging. I'll probably go vortex, not a huge fan of their glass, bu the reviews on the HD are pretty tough to beat for the price…as is their warranty/support. [/QUOTE]
