[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1572763, member: 80699"] Sorry, I am just seeing this. I do have both the BDX scope (4.5x14) and a 2400 RF. You can check out the review I did on the 2400 to see about the RF, working on a review of the scope now. I actually got the scope on a rifle days before an Aoudad hunt in Palo Duro Canyon. It was a one time opportunity for my son and I to do this, but as I did not have time to run it through the paces as I would have liked, I just checked it vs his VX3i. In a brief look in the dark outside my house, they appeared pretty much equal, so we took it. I won't go into the details now, but it worked beautifully. My 16 year old son hammered a ram at 571 and a surprise shot at two more at 271 immediately after while away from me, so he had to handle ranging and shooting by himself under severe time pressure to get the shot. The BDX system let him get a range and just shoot, and then range again and shoot when the range changed dramatically. The system is really very fast! I have not had time to actually test it on eye charts yet etc. so I can't say much empirically concerning acuity. I have looked through it well past sunset vs a VX3i and a Zeiss HD5. In that case, none would have been able to take game when another could not, but that's not very scientific. One thing I was concerned about was flare. So far, in my tests, it has done exceedingly well. Got a little more work to do with the scope before finishing the review, but so far, pretty impressed. My son was impressed enough that he sold his Leupold and bought the Sig. This was not because the scope was 'so much nicer' than his Leupold, but because the system is so efficient and fast for hunting. Hope that helps, please don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions, or anything you would like me to test. [/QUOTE]
