Watched a lot of guys bomb Nrl hunter stages due the 10k blue hue in overcast situations. Said targets would just blend into the hills. Definitely want to pick up the 6k if they can link to Garmin Tactix

[@bobl5346]

what are most guys using in NRL Hunter?

[@tylerogilvie2274]

@@bobl5346 tons of different stuff. Sometimes binos and then a handheld rangefinder. I’ve used a Terrapin X linked with my watch and I’ve used Swaros with on board ballistics. I preferred the swaros

[@davidwolf6116]

What is the farthest Target that you have been able to ring with any of those rangefinders from sig

[@jamesdewer]

Mature technology at this stage. The Electro Optic Lifetime infinity warrantee is solid and replacements shipped 2nd day FedEx. No joke.

[@zacha33]

I’m confused on the warranty, it says lifetime in one hand, in the other for electronic there is only a 5 year, so what is it?

[@va7txr551]

Great Low light performance with a 10mm smaller objective lens? Are you saying the 6K is as good as the other two in low light, better... or just pretty good considering the smaller objective?

[@desperado8605]

Does it have basemap interface like the 10k

[@HotepSaoirse]

Yes it dose

[@ronlowney4700]

🤠 FYI - On 06/07/2022, SAMMI approved the specifications for the 7mm prc! The cartridge is essentially 0.535" wide, 2.28" long, has a 30 degree shoulder, has a neck of 0.2868", and an operating pressure of 65,000 psi! It can push out a 180 grain bullet at 2,950 ft/s (essentially the same velocity as a 7mm Remington Magnum), but 200 ft/s slower than the 300wsm with the same bullet weight! So, at reasonable hunting distances, the 7mm bullets of the prc will never catch up to the 30 caliber bullets of the 300 wsm! So, borrowing from the famous words of Solomon (how ironic), there is nothing new under the sun! 😎

[@tylerogilvie2274]

Now which 180 grain bullet has a higher BC?

[@ronlowney4700]

🤔 My 180 grain Lost River J-36 hunting bullet has a B.C. of 0.693! 😁

[@ronlowney4700]

😏 However, I do have Bigger 30's! But, if I wanted to go heavier, the 200 grain J-40 Lost River bullet has a B.C. of 0.797 and the 220 grain J-40 has a B.C. of 0.930! 😱

[@ronlowney4700]

😏 And, that is Why the Big 30's will never be outdone by ANY 7mm - ESPECIALLY Some of Mine! 🤣🤣🤣

[@tylerogilvie2274]

@@ronlowney4700 Sure, but you aren’t talking about big 30’s. If I was shooting both 180’s I’d choose the higher BC

[@fushi1242]

Can you compare the glass in the 6k and 10k to the Leica 3200? I’m have a hard time deciding between the 10k and leica.

[@FC2ESWS]

I wish they upped the magnification and objective diameter versus the range. Who needs 6k or 10k when you can't shoot that far?

[@Kross8761]

To give you an idea of how much ground you need to cover, and as an animal moves you can roughly gauge how much ground they have covered. On roving animals it can be a great thing to help you decide whether to "chase" an animal or herd or look elsewhere. If an animal or herd is moving a lot I'm more likely to try my luck elsewhere because a human can't cover as much ground on foot as an animal, if they're relatively stationary I'll keep pushing in until I have a viable shot. And the longer overall range capability gives you more room for ranging things that aren't very reflective like hide or trees. More range isn't useless if you can't shoot that far, you're just not using it effectively.

[@rkwjunior2298]

Does anyone need to range out to over 5 miles?

[@dylanpotter1420]

Huh that's pretty cool!

[@chazt4863]

Yes, lots of capability...can't believe they didn't think to install a tripod mount or lens covers. Big miss!

[@HotepSaoirse]

Anyone else feels weird about the fact that you have a hand held range finder and arrange finding bino?

[@zimbiajames9199]

Great 👍

[@Rico11b]

I find it SOOOOO laughable that someone would need a laser rangefinder to BOW HUNT with!!!! With most all bow shots being inside of 75 yards, you don't need a rangefinder. What you need is to practice with your bow and know it's limits. Ya don't need a 6,000 yard range finder, especially don't need a 10,000 yard range finder. No one is taking an animal at 6,000+ yards, or even close.

[@juniormorrison605]

What about on a spot and stalk hunt which muley and elk hunts are at a distance

[@montanaoutdoors6217]

Basically everyone now days archery hunts with a range finder. Ya targets are under 75 yards typically.... but if ya mis judge a 70 yard shot by 3 yards that's a big POI difference

[@shaynenazara4763]

Omg hurry up
