“The new KILO 5K can range targets up to 5,000 yards, trees up to 2,500 yards, and deer up to 2,000 yards,” said Andy York, president of SIG Sauer Electro-Optics.  “In an industry first, these rangefinders allow users to range a tree, rock or deer and instantly drop waypoints into the BaseMap app to help navigation to that target, integrated BDX technology provides ballistic solutions out to 800 yards with Applied Ballistics Ultralite or will sync with external devices featuring Applied Ballistics Elite, and the K-Series now include a complete suite of onboard environmental sensors for real time ballistic solutions.”
