[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 1516544, member: 28348"] umm not IMO because since people have spent money on those in the last 5 years there are plenty of options that work great to well beyond what just about anyone would shoot to. 10 years ago basically your options began and ended with leica of some sort. In those days those RF units worked pretty reliable out to about 800 yards, sometimes further. but 800 was about what you could reliably get. The vector's terrapin's etc were a step well beyond that and were designed for the miltary. With the EL range and current leica's as well as zeiss you are going to get 1300+ reliable maybe even further. beyond what I am going to shoot at!! given the price point of that new SIG it looks probably comparable to the vortex and nikon RF binocular units. Sig is having these made and labeled for them. I have a tuff time thinking they are going to compete head to head with the big 3 in RF power, Maybe I can't say for sure just my guess. IMO of the big 3 zeiss's latest unit is the best. The binocular glass is amazing,They are also the very latest design. that has been released by the big 3. I personally have used the EL range for years and have been very happy with them. This fall however they RF isn't working all the time. and I have to send them back for repair. I suspect the range button is at fault. Swaro told me they will need a trip to austria. the leica geovids I used before also needed repair as well so, its not totally a swaro deal. [/QUOTE]
