    Magdalena Chili

    In NM we serve chile. You go to Texas for chilli, chili, chilley or whatever the heck the rest of you are talking about. If I was a moderator here confusing the two is an instant ban.

    Christensen Arms, what's the verdict?

    "Proper" rifle break-in is largely a myth and will not impact the accuracy of a rifle. My guess is that most CA rifles shoot fine, but a LARGE percentage of them of lemons (with respect to other manufacturers).

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    I'm a man of principal that dies on the smallest of hills. My hatred of these binos doesn't come close to my hatred of Bergara or Fierce rifles though :ROFLMAO: But seriously, if anyone searches my post history they'll see me singing high praises of the 2nd gen Zulu6 HDX - just trying to help...

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    Did you actually test them side by side at a far field target? The 16 pros I have right now are easily the worst of the 3 pro models I have in my possession. Given the difference in quality between the 18’s perhaps you got a good pair of 16x50’s. I’d love for others to post up comparison images.

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    Do yourself a favor and do not try the 16x42 HDX. You will cry. The omniscan sucks compared to scan and target lock modes on the gen 2’s. Image is likely better too except beyond legal shooting light.

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    Got my 18x50 HDX Pro's back from Sig with a note that they're amazing and I'm an idiot. Grabbed another set of 18x50 HDX Pro's from Sportsman's, as well as the new 16x50 HDX Pro's to compare against my 16x42's. Bottom line - only the 18x50 pair that I got from Sportsman's could be imagined to...

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    My hunting partner has Swaro BTX and the new NL’s. Unless we’re glassing a single spot for more than an hour, I have zero desire to use traditional “alpha” glass anymore. The gen 2 are just that quick and easy to deploy that I have no desire to constantly lug around tripods and take 5 minutes to...

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    Nothing about them were as expected. The rep from Sig told me that with larger objectives, one should expect less clarity. WTF

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    Sorry - my data is buried in my cross post. Key points: I've had my 16x42's for about a year and love them, ranted and raved. Excited about the improved glass advertised by Sig. Pre-ordered the 18 Pro's. Received them and took them out, along with 16's, to do some glassing. Huh, not blown away...

    Gen 2 16x42's: Gen 3 18x50's

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    Thanks for the input, but did you actually run the Pro's side by side with 42's? I'm guessing you didn't. If so, please post up some pictures of the images to show an improvement. For someone that hasn't used the 42's, or isn't looking through them side by side, they might seem pretty great...

    PSA - New Sig Sauer Zulu6 HDX Pro's Are Trash

    Cross-posting here for awareness. I love my Gen 2 HDX 16's and jumped at the chance to give Sig more of my money on the 18 pro's. They are objectively worse at clarity, size, weight, batteries, stabilization... Sig only stands behind their "low light performance improvement". This new gen is...

    “D” rated tire opinions

    Do you haul any weight or tow? You'll want to make sure that your tires load index matches or exceeds your front and rear axle weight ratings. Start there and that might drive your choice of C or D, maybe even E. Then I look for three things personally: 3 peak rating, mileage warranty and weight...
