Vectronix Vector X Buying vs SIG Kilo10K Gen II Comparison and Buying Guide - Which Is The Best?

[@philbuckhannon4201]

Perfect timing. I've been looking for a comparison between these two.

[@PrecisionRifleNetwork]

great info. thank you sir.

[@elj4673]

Thanks for the review, heads up the Sig will also work with Apple Maps, Google maps and OnX maps. You change what map you want to use in the BDX app settings. Range target and towards bottom of rangefinder page of BDX app there is a button to send to map.

[@robmassa7285]

Warranty with Sig is legit, have used it, customer service is excellent

[@Cyborg-911]

lot of info to digest but,glad you covered all the bases Thanks Gary.

[@L0NGRNGE]

Sigs work with the new whiz bang Calypso wind meter out of the box.

[@hatchell2k5]

I do think it's worth mentioning the sig 10k will also pair with any bdx scope and supply hold overs out to the capability of the range finder.

[@paramounttactical]

@@hatchell2k5 I agree. I should have mentioned that.

[@davidlaroche8928]

Great comparisons. Ive been waiting \ hoping to see one of these for some time now. Would you prefer one over the other for a PRS Match? Thank you for this comparison

[@Levidanielz]

Thanks for the sick reviews and content.

[@paramounttactical]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@martinibjankas]

Perfect review! Thanks a lot!

[@jasonsponsler21]

Great video Gary. Have you compared the density altitude in the SIG or Vectronics to your Kestrel reading to see how close the are? Just curious. Probably going to go with the SIG just from cost and features seem to be just right

[@scottsmith7778]

How does this compare to the vortex fury 5000 ab?

[@paramounttactical]

I haven't tested it but I feel like they are wildly different products so I'm having a hard time, in my mind, justifying a comparison between them. Most people either want a rifle mounted LRF or bino LRF. Binos are lot more versatile that's for sure but I understand the need/want/use case for rifle mounted.

[@Andronow]

@@paramounttactical the Vortex Fury 5000 AB is a LRF bino with AB on-board, so therefore a direct competitor to these. You are thinking of the Vortex Impact 4000 rifle-mounted unit.

[@levigne25]

Fury is not in the same class as these two .

[@scottsmith7778]

@@Andronow That's what I was thinking as well :) I am just trying to justify the cost difference and wanted to see if anyone had any real world comparison between the two.

[@levigne25]

I will tell you as far as ranging capabilities on reflective targets the SIG kilo 10 is the winner . I’ve ranged targets just past 9000 yards with them .

[@errtuley]

Have you compared these to the fury 5000ab?

[@paramounttactical]

Y’all hit that 👍. It’s appreciated. If you haven’t yet, join the cool kids and subscribe.

[@shawnblair3853]

On my 10K’s, if I hold the menu button it goes right back to the range finding display

[@paramounttactical]

Weird! You have the Gen IIs?

[@BacktotheOutdoors]

Great review. Just ordered the Sigs for $2,299. I was looking for something better than the Vortex Fury AB but cheaper than Zeiss/Swaro/Leica. I never even thought of my astigmatism. Hopefully it’s not an issue.

[@M1GH7YALN]

Dose the SIG Kilo10K display on both eye pieces or just one I have a visual issue in my right eye that doesn't allow me to read with it but still see other things.

[@paramounttactical]

@@M1GH7YALN the display is only in the right eye.

[@M1GH7YALN]

@@paramounttactical Thank you so much for the information your channel is awesome.

[@paramounttactical]

@ thank you for watching!

[@chrisbiedrzycki5557]

Thanks for the review. Do you have recommendation for which of the RRS bino clamp attachments (aluminum v polymer) to use with the Sigs?

[@paramounttactical]

I have both. They both work equally well and I don't think the cost of the aluminum ones result in any improved performance.

[@kyundt64]

Nice review! One of the selling points with the 10k gen2 is the new direct wind input for instant modification to wind speed And direction. Did you find this beneficial and how did it compare to the vector for data input speed and versatility? Thanks again for the excellent review.

[@kyundt64]

Must have been a tough question.

[@tristanmoyer6556]

You should cover ranging ability from the app.

[@paramounttactical]

@@tristanmoyer6556 what do you mean?

[@rak7101]

Nice overview - does the SIG show LOS as well as Ballistic Range (horizontal distance)? LOS for Wind and Ballistic Distance for elevation. Thanks r/

[@paramounttactical]

@@rak7101 yes

[@rak7101]

@@paramounttactical AMR in the reticle is for Ballistic range?

[@mrcbrrr7484]

I really appreciate this in depth comparison as I’m in the market for this kind of unit and have been following both of these for a while now. That ding on the etched reticle is a serious issue l can’t believe vectronix didn’t think how are people supposed to range targets in the dark if the aiming point can’t be seen🤯. Also just to be clear are the vector x capable of gathering density and altitude data but the unit just can’t display it or is it incapable and will be added in a second generation?

[@paramounttactical]

@@mrcbrrr7484 it capture it and uses it for the ballistic solution. It just doesn’t display it. You can find it in the app.,

[@hatchell2k5]

Gary kinda a wild thought... will the vectronix range enhancers work on the sig 10k?

[@paramounttactical]

No. 10K's aren't threaded.

[@davidingram3281]

The Response from Vector X says volumes at "36:44" - Three Ears... and Already Proofed. Sorry guys, No bueno.

[@cfzippo]

GRRRRR, Got the Sig 10K about 6 months ago. Dog gone electronics! 😂

[@paramounttactical]

That problem afflicts us all…😥🤷‍♂️

[@danielmccarthyy]

Oh man, I am boycotting everything that does not come with AB Elite. And I am boycotting everything that has connectivity issues with the Kestrel 5700 elite. 😊

[@Coldbore375-lp6gj]

So i called SIG after the video and they confirmed SIG gen2 10k is a class 1 laser not 1m. They couldn't tell me why it was downgraded to a class 1. That being the case the class 1m in the Vector x should have been considerably better in laser performance than the SIG even according to Vectors own info.

[@paramounttactical]

@@Coldbore375-lp6gj that is interesting. 🤔 MOST of the time, I do get a little better distance out of the Vector but it’s never by much. I’d say about 80% of the time I can get like 200-300 yards further with the Vector but sometimes the Sig will hit targets the Vector can’t. If Vector’s data is accurate, that should never be the case. I’ll have to research how much a difference between a Class 1 and a 1M. It may be negligible.

[@Coldbore375-lp6gj]

@@paramounttactical According to the info page on Vector sight its significant. I used to be a dealer for Newcon rangefinders. I always figured they should do half the distance they are advertised to reliably. Even the bigger Newcons held to that for the most part. Some things i find odd is so far my vectors compare to my Terrapin x and my Kilo 2500. Both class 1 lasers. The other thing I see with NVG s is a round beam against a wall. Seems like it would be difficult to have a rectangular beam divergence with a circle. My 10k is rectangular. You are tracking same as me with the reticule at night. They went to the trouble of putting a NV setting for the HUD with a non lit point of aim. WTF? My units wont stay calibrated for the compass either. Just got used to seeing the chicken.

[@levigne25]

I’ve ranged just over 9000 yards with the sig kilo 10k and that is something the Vector X cannot do .

[@paramounttactical]

@@levigne25 as documented in video, I couldn’t get anywhere close to that with my sig Gen II. Unless you had the Vector X right there to test it along side the Gen IIs on that day, in those conditions, you really can’t say that with any level certainly.

[@tylerogilvie2274]

@@levigne25I’ve done this with mine through fog to the side of a barn. Multiple readings, lowlight. Whenever there’s a showdown between two products I feel like we need multiple of each, for proper data.

[@gbturning]

wrong the vectors are uncomfortable to hold with the dovetail mount, reticle to complicated ,glass clarity for hunting or target shooting the sigs work perfectly ,magnifiers well how much stuff do you want to carry and the cost leave me alone
