Depends how deep your wallet is.
They don't do anything better than the sig 6k.
More wank factor is about it.

“More wank factor” … rich coming from the nightforce no.1 fan boy xx

They do one thing way better, glass…. which is handy feature for binoculars

There's not 2.5k difference in glass quality.
I will qualify what I mean for me.
My primary use is an accurate instrument for measuring ELR.
It does it better than Swarovski.
It pairs to my 5700 kestrel, swaro doesn't.
The glass is not as good granted but I don't need to be finding needles in a haystack either.
If swaro did what I needed them to I would buy them.
They don't so I won't.
I might be the nf #1 fan boy but that's for a very good reason .
I don't have to Nana them or use the elevation corection factor in my ballistics or worry about bending them and missing a shot of a life time.
Enjoy your great glass at your peril.
Cheers Andy

I'm running Sigs currently. Got them for a good price. Happy with them all in all. The Applied Ballistics software will give you a solution to 800 yards. Fine for hunting. Might not be the go for comp shooters. Optics are good but have got a subtle blue tint. Range finder aspect works well and has some legs

Got the same, happy as with them, just a pain they don't come with lens covers

Good to hear, I just picked up a pair as well and can’t wait to get them out and about. Have had a bit of a cash splash and I bought a Sig Tango 4 in 6-24x50, going to mount on a Bergara LRP in .308 and see how they all work together.

The Binos seem pretty good so far and they range very similar to my Kilo 2200 rangefinder, depends how steady I hold them. For reference I’m ranging a building wall at 980 yards with the binos and 978 with the 2200… someone more knowledgeable can tell me if that’s an acceptable difference?

Weight wise they are 920g, my rangefinder and Leupold BX2’s + sig 220 weigh 940g. I used to run BX4’s which were real nice but definitely more bulk and weight so I went for the smaller BX2’s. Both 10x42’s.

That’s more than acceptable that’s the difference in putting one down and picking up the other and taking a step that’s awesome

Depends if you want alpha glass.
The sig6k the best bang for buck and if real serious pair to the 5700 elite kestrel.
Wilsons doing 6k binos at $2800

I’d take a look at the Nikon Lazerforce RF binos.

A mate in Canada ha a pair and likes them a lot. Enough to get me curious. Nikon make great glass.

Only problem Nikon stopped making scopes.
Don't know if I would want chance that happening with their binos?

Has anyone had any experience with the newish Stiner RFB's?

Yeah it is a bit shit no lens caps. I brought some aftermarket scope caps. Work fine but it's an added cost for sure
