    Sig Sauer Kilo5k kicks ass!

    Posted by Precision MF on Mar 10, 2025

    After years of using mid-range rangefinders, I finally bit the bullet and invested in the Kilo5k, and holy cow - the difference is night and day! Used it for my Wyoming antelope hunt last month and it absolutely crushed.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is the maximum range of the Sig Sauer Kilo5k rangefinder?

A: The Sig Sauer Kilo5k can range reflective targets up to 5,000 yards, deer-sized game out to 2,000 yards, and trees out to 1,400 yards. Actual performance may vary based on atmospheric conditions, target reflectivity, and user technique.

Q: Is the Kilo5k waterproof?

A: Yes, the Kilo5k features an IPX-7 waterproof rating, which means it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for use in harsh weather conditions including heavy rain and brief accidental submersion.

Q: What is LightWave DSP Technology?

A: LightWave DSP (Digital Signal Processing) is Sig Sauer's proprietary technology that combines advanced algorithms, precise beam control, and enhanced signal detection to maximize ranging performance. This technology filters out noise and false readings while amplifying the return signal, allowing for accurate measurements at extreme distances and in challenging environmental conditions.

Q: What battery does the Kilo5k use and what is the battery life?

A: The Kilo5k uses one CR2 lithium battery. Battery life typically ranges from 2,000 to 4,000 range readings depending on usage patterns and environmental conditions. Using features like HyperScan (high-frequency ranging) or BDX connectivity will consume battery power more quickly.

Q: What is Ballistic Data Xchange (BDX) and how does it work with the Kilo5k?

A: BDX is Sig Sauer's system that wirelessly connects compatible rangefinders with BDX-enabled riflescopes and the Sig BDX smartphone app. When you range a target with the Kilo5k, it calculates the ballistic solution and transmits it to your riflescope, which then provides a precise holdover aim point. This eliminates manual calculations and dial adjustments, streamlining the long-range shooting process.

Q: What are the different ranging modes available on the Kilo5k?

A: The Kilo5k offers several ranging modes: Last Target Mode for ranging through brush and obstacles, Best Target Mode for improved performance on small or distant targets, Extended Range Mode (XR) for maximum distance capability, Fog Mode for improved performance in adverse weather, HyperScan Mode for 4 range updates per second, and Line of Sight (LOS) mode for direct distance measurement without angle compensation.

Q: Does the Kilo5k have angle compensation for uphill/downhill shots?

A: Yes, the Kilo5k features Angle Modified Range (AMR) technology that automatically calculates the angle-compensated range for uphill or downhill shots. This provides the true horizontal distance for accurate ballistic solutions, which is especially important for mountain hunting and long-range shooting scenarios.

Q: What warranty does Sig Sauer offer on the Kilo5k rangefinder?

A: The Sig Sauer Kilo5k is covered by the Sig Sauer Electro-Optics Infinite Guarantee, which is a lifetime warranty that remains in effect for as long as you own the product. This transferable warranty ensures that Sig Sauer will repair or replace your rangefinder if it becomes damaged or defective, with no time limit, no receipt required, and no warranty card to fill out.
