SIG is widely known for making some of the most popular firearms currently on the market. Yet, SIG has a diverse portfolio of products under their brand including ammunition, red dots, LPVO’s, prism scopes, thermal sights, and lasers. One of the most successful products for SIG has been their rangefinders optics. SIG has eight monocular models and one binocular model that range in price from $179-$1,319. Now, the company has added to their monocular lineup with the SIG SAUER KILO5K rangefinder. The KILO5K is the first entry into the KILO(K) series.

The new KILO(K) series was designed to provide users with updated technology advantages that have come to market that weren’t available before. The KILO features SIG’s extended range technology, it is compatible with Kestrel, Garmin, BaseMap, and SIG’s Ballistic Data Exchange (BDX) app and more. The KILO series also runs Applied Ballistics Ultralite engine to help with real time calculations in tandem with SIG’s BDX app. These new features come wrapped up in 7.5 oz body with 7x magnification.

Below is the product description and features of the new SIG KILO5K rangefinder.
