Glass is perfectly fine for myself.What are you going to do when SIG stops making the BDX?
Also, I read their glass is not that great for the price. I looked at them for a while a few months back.

You seem to be thinking of rifles with high velocity cartridges. What if you're using something slower, like 45/70?at any range or competition you know up front distances to targets.
hunting is the only reasonable application, but i am lost of what kind of hunt would need it - unless you hunt some antelopes and shoot from a klik away.
If you’re going to be shooting longer distances you should always know the yardage and your ballistics. Just guessing and winging it is just stupid and irresponsible. This goes for both shooting targets as well as animals.at any range or competition you know up front distances to targets.

ohh, my god, spare me the pathos about $300 piece of junk.is just stupid and irresponsible
In addition, my Romeo 8T is the clearest glass I've seen on a red dotAlso, I read their glass is not that great for the price. I looked at them for a while a few months back.
Two different products.I'm addition, my Romeo 8T is the clearest glass I've seen on a red dot
ohh, my god, spare me the pathos about $300 piece of junk.
like all the generations before invention of led lasers were stupid and irresponsible. shiver me timbers.
and where did i say drones are good for spotting impacts?but then advocate for a $1500 drone
True, but costs kinda line up.Two different products.
True, but costs kinda line up.
Not literally, but cost for performance.
Arguably one of the best red dots on the market at a high cost vs variable zoom,good glass and the bdx system.
Any other optic in the price range of each has less features and glass that may or may not be as good
my would be their warranty of electrical components they produce, at 5yrs top. unless it is not a factor, but, scopes usually live for way longer than 5 yrs.My only concern would be SIG stops manufacturing the scopes.

Oh and so I’m clear, sending a round and not being pretty confident about where it’s going is STUPID.

I agree with you, so how does that statement you quoted sound silly, it doesn’t even mention rangefinders.I like having a range finder. It helps at places like Granby, PRS matches for confirmation, and intend to use it for precise ranging for certain hunting scenarios.
That said… your statement is pretty silly. I can estimate range with my eyes well enough that my shot will not be any sort of safety issue. Definitely not stupid just for taking a shot without a range finder. Range finders are helpful, but that doesn’t mean someone is being stupid when shooting without using one.

Also not every competition is known yardage.
it is not too difficult in real life when you know well an approximate height of an object. all this is way easier than some think it is.But estimating range out in the open or when there aren't other known references around is a totally different ball game.
I have probably the same Bushnell for archery and muzzleloader. Same thing, range the trees when I set up the stand and once a week to remind myself.Cheap Bushnell I bought for like 100 dollars 10 years ago...still works great.
Just use setting up archery stands ranging trees, so i don't guess when the time comes. And setting my archery target ranges around the house.

again, somehow for many many years people managed it all just fine without those gizmos and most still do. nothing wrong to have one, but, also nothing wrong of having some good fun at their expense neither.
Man I’m out here watching this thread like, without a digital range finder I am f***ED. Can’t estimate for shit. My dyslexic ass would need 10 minutes and scratch paper to mil anythingTo be fair, for many many years the vast majority of people weren’t shooting beyond close range. They’d zero their rifle for max point blank range of their prey’s vital zone and keep their shots fairly close by today’s standards. But it didn’t really matter that much because bullet design didn’t lend itself to far shots anyway.
We live in a different time now, external ballistics-wise. And precise ranging is now much more important. Still, people should learn how to range estimate without a range finder.

How to Estimate Yardage with Just Your Riflescope
More than any other technology, precise electronic rangefinders have allowed hunters to make more accurate shots at longer distances. To take one real-world example: at 450 yards, a 150-grain .308 Win. round drops about 40 inches. At 500 yards, that same bullet drops an additional 14 inches...www.themeateater.com
