- The SIG SAUER Ballistic Data Xchange (BDX) rangefinder, riflescope, and app has transformed hunting with it’s unprecedented simplicity and accuracy. Learn how to use it individually or together as an optics system.
I installed this optic on a crossman 760 air rifle.I have now shot the riffle around 500 times during target/plinking practice, and the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope has done well.With this optic, I have neutralized around 30 pigeons that were invading one of my buildings.For my short range air rifle, I will continue to use this scope, but will be upgrading to a more powerful scope, when I buy a more powerful air rifle, in order to shoot at longer distance.For the money I have spent, this scope has truly been a great buy.
I absolutely love this Scope/rangefinder combo it took me five minutes to SIGHT in my rifle and I have not missed the shot ever cents I think my rifle range finder to my phone. I’ve taken shots over 700 yards on 10 inch steel plates and Still have not had one miss. It makes an average shooter incredibly accurate shooter
Really ??? Like no bullshit ?
I swear on a stack of Bibles. If you have Rifle cited in properly... You are NOT missing the target.
The optical has an adjustable sensitivity anti-can’t level built into the reticle. It has different degrees of anti-can’t bills into it. .5°, 1° and an automatic setting. I keep it on .5.
You do not have to remove your idea from target or the scope to look at a lot a Global level. However it does help to have your own chronograph so you can input exact average velocity of that projectile from your rifle. And the number on the box He’s almost never The same as the number I have a fly shot group from your current address. The nurse important thing is to make sure that you were zero is a cold bore zero.
Take your first shot and use that number to input into your BDX app.
I just purchased my Sig Sauer BDX 2.0 system a few weeks ago. I haven't had an opportunity to use it yet but I can't wait.
I was a sniper in my early life in the military but since then have suffered multiple concussions and now have an intractable migraine as a result. My eyes have floaters and had a detached retina from boxing.
I'm looking forward to the BDX system to help me relive my glory days and return to making long distance rifle shots on targets.
Thank you Sig Sauer for creating the BDX 2.0 system! You have geniuses in your corner with the BDX system on your rifle!
Thx for explanation .!We set up BDX shooting this week and it's totally sick how we had good shots at many distances, greetings and keep going.! Best regards from two hunters.👏🦌🐻🌿🤠✌
Permanently dialed in up to 500 yards. I never hunt above 300 but if I ever needed to i trust my bdx over my own calculations. I highly recommend, it changed my Sig Cross setup
So many uninformed comments here. First off this is no different than learning to land nav with a compass and using a GPS, you should always know how to use the compass and map just in case your batteries die or other malfunction. Same here, learn how to shoot with just the crosshairs and use the tech when it's available. Battery life on this scope is 20,000hrs, that's 833 days of constant on! Not sure how you will ever run out of battery if you are paying attention, oh, and crazy idea....bring a couple extra batteries in your kit just in case of the apocalypse and you need to stay in the field for the next few years!
Add solar panels to charge it all. Haha. But this is still a nice adnavced scope! Less than 2% of vehicle sold our manual speed versus automatic. In 10-15 years it will be 50% of the cars don’t have a steering wheel.
Couldn't have said it better myself!
You the man bro
For real For real
Can we shoot together ❤
and who cares. It's not like I'm hunting to survive.
@@krecikowi right
I wonder how many team guys I’m either Delta or DEVGRU use this feature - I myself love shooting with the MRAD/MOA Dials but I could only imagine how useful this system would be to the Warfighter to get ACCURATE shots on target at many different ranges QUICKLY
Great work SIG
On either *
@Rat Fink bro you are aware of who we have been fighting for the past 20 years right? These guys are fucking stupid as hell.
I’m sure someone would use this, maybe not close to even widespread but it’s an interesting concept nonetheless
@Rat Fink I mean, the Army just picked up Vortex's new optic that does something very similar to the Kilo.
It's pretty dope, check it out:

i just picked up the sierra 6 for my sons rifle, but upon downloading the app it stated it allows you to access my photos and other personal information. why do you need to access photographs?
Excellent... the next logical technology improvement and upgrade.
The rangefinder is really pretty good, can't say how well it does with the paired scopes since I don't have one.
I'd like to use the app, but the permissions are incredibly pervasive. Why does my rangefinding app need access to my phone, mic, wifi, contacts, location and internet? Feels really insecure to me.
ur not that important lol, trust me no one cares about that info and the app more than likely requires it for certain features
@@sergiov4847 you're extremely important. Companies in general want nothing more than your data. Then they can predict what you want or how youre going to act before you do it.
It uses your phones weather info almost like a kestrel it takes elevation and temp from your phone if you let it.
@@sergiov4847 may want to dig into that a bit further...some of the apps have already been documented as data being collected by gov't agencies. You can speculate as to why, and you can probably assume why some believe it's happening. As for collecting the other stuff, can you seriously be that uninformed about the value of selling data to 3rd parties??
@@ShastaBean Exactly what I was thinking...why I asked:
Interesting, how about shooting from elevation? How far back does the app keep record of ballistic calculations from your profile? When government or a hacker comes sniffing around.
Man this looks like fun
I'd love to use one for competition but it takes too long to range and then shoot and move. Too bad they don't come up with one with the rangefinder in the side just like the Burris eliminator but with this setup you have unlimited range which is nice. I imagine in the future they will come up with the two in one
Why all the bad reviews on the android app? Does anyone have any real world experience with android on this system?
Very cool. BUT let’s say my battery goes dead on the scope or some other aspect of Murphy’s Law goes into effect as in technology failing at the moment most needed. Can I still make adjustments and get rounds on target like a traditional scope?
You can still dial on turrets
Looks very interesting!
What states are legal? If Montana is I'll buy one
I can touch off a 30rd mag in nothing flat. Hope this helps in the accuracy dept, heh.
Would like to see it all be dun just from the scope. would nice system on an RMR also
hometownseven
Some of the digital scopes are already doing that, but the reliability and performance are yet to be proven.
It will be very difficult on an RMR though. The viewfinder window is too small, and putting HUD projection on it will just crowd the visual field and obstruct the sight picture, not to mention it will be hard to read tiny texts on a RMR window.
Swarovski has it all in the scope if you want to fork out $4500
Another vid about bdx3 and kilo that skips the exact thing I need. Paid, mounted, everything's on.....all I've managed to work out is the illuminated dot holdover mode. Then the app repeatedly started updating firmware on the kilo then stuck on 1% forcing an app manual shutdown. Hundreds of $.....not going well. Regretting. It's fiddly. Not fun. Hopefully will master it....
How does it measure windage?
It has a little kite you deploy and can detect wind speed and direction
Windage off your phones closest weather access or bond it with a kestrel
will the kilo 1000 work rangefinder with the 4.5x14x44 scope?
Interesting, how about shooting from elevation? How far back does the app keep record of ballistic calculations from your profile? When government or a hacker comes sniffing around.
The rangefinder accounts for slope angle and there's no discernable way to recall previous calculations
How do I calibrate the BDX for the new 375 Raptor or 45 Raptor?
Ballistics data custom info imput
Looks nice 😉
Am looking to buy one for hunting and long ranged target shooting sierra 6 bdx 5-30x56 mm or sierra 6 bdx 3-18x44 mm which one good? thanks
If you want something lighter weight for lugging through the mountains, probably the 3-18. If weight isn’t a factor and you’re looking to shoot 1000+, probably the 5-25
Just got the 1400 bdx. Whats with all the terrible reviews on the app? And will it ever get fixed?
Hahaha way to buy into the hype!
Which ballistic group would I use for a 300prc? Thanks
I would input my own data rather than use a generic list.
Thanks
Wait does that thing really stick a picture of a deer into the scope? That's sick
Ima put this on my ak47 lol I know ill get shit for it but I don’t care
Ima........😒
I would give it a whirl on the ol Red Rider BB gun
@@luckymanham302 attach it to a high point carbine 😂
First one!!!
people, does it work on people?
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Buonasera non aquistate questo prodotto, il binocolo buono ma il cannocchiale no ho speso troppo,
Ah, maybe I'm just stubborn, but I do not like the idea of an "app" on a mobile device, hopefully "linking" with 2 more devices, while in the rain/snow/wind wearing gloves, game walking away, where's my glasses, info loading/stalling etc to make a damn shot. Also, the glass isn't even close to many others. No thanks.
The rangefinder and scope link to each other directly once they've been paired, and they can be paired either directly or through the app. The app is only necessary to input custom load data, which gets saved onto the optics.
That takes all the fun out of long range shooting
im a novice, kinda felt like cheating for someone like me to make great shots really far out 😂
Just don't use the range finder.
@@masterwildcrashp6626 then youre better off just buyin a cheaper scope. not using the finder defeats the whole purpose of this scope lol
@casey escobar yeah it does i used it few months back from a friend it literally tells you where to shoot all you need to do is stay steady. makes hunting lazy and cheating and takes all the fun out of shooting longer ranges for fun
@@whicay5460 especially for hunting lol. straight lazy or cheating
yah while you fuck around with all that trash (scope then range finder and check your phone for more info) the deer or person walks out of your sight forever.. this just goes to show you technogy is not always good..
Bruh
Just connect the dot
AIM BOT
Lol
Should be called the cheaters scope for beginners
I disagree. A scope such as the BDX allows you to effectively range your target and not miss....As opposed to missing, wounding an animal, shooting too far without precision. If you feel that hunting requires you to stalk closer then just do it. The BDX allows you to be accurate from short or long range. I own one and it's an excellent system.
So is rangefinding and then calculating your holdover cheating too? Is a custom BDC for your cartridge cheating? The only difference is this is faster and/or more precise.
Is it always cheating if you aren't just guessing distance and adjustment? Isn't glass cheating anyway? What about magnum cartridges and expanding ammo? Aren't those cheating too? Shouldn't we all be using a .22LR with v-notch irons and perfect shot placement? What about scent bait, calls and camouflage? How many game animals need to suffer for the sake of people not "cheating"?
To me, this is a pretty good solution to something like .458 SOCOM where you might be shooting 250gr 2000fps and 600gr subsonic ammo out of the same rifle. Input your load data, select which ammo you're shooting, set up either your desired BDC marks or use the rangefinder.
honestly, if im understanding how this works, have to use the rangefinder itself inorder to range anything into the actual scope itself? If so, this is complete garbage! Like Burris rangefinder scopes and other companies, they put the rangefinder actually IN THE SCOPES at a push of a button . Common sense and convenience surpasses any funky design that not very good mouse trap. sorry, but go back to drawling board!
No, that’s not accurate. Once you input your bullet data, it gives you holdover points that you can set to your liking. You don’t need the rangefinder.
Somebody didn't comprehend the video they just watched.
