Got what I paid for. Unbeatable warranty from SIG.

I don't typically write product reviews, but felt it was warranted in this case. As a low handicap golfer who has played for over 40 years, and used purpose-built golf rangefinders made by all the leading mfgs., I was needing a new rangefinder after an unfortunate accident at my home golf facility involving my previous rangefinder, a wooden bulkhead, and a water hazard.Preferring a rangefinder that shoots to the tenth of a yard, I narrowed down my search to a few of the usual makers, then ran across a listing for the Sig Sauer Kilo1000 for $159. The reviews were very good, but no direct mention of golf capability in the reviews or on the SIG web site. However, there were a couple of indirect golf mentions, including one shooter who said he had ranged snowflakes with his SIG, so he thought it would work for golf. I noted the SIG 1000 features, price, warranty (five years!), and return option, rolled the dice, and ordered.After playing three rounds of golf using this rangefinder at a 36-hole golf facility with two very big courses, I am blown away by its performance. For $159, it is astounding. The clarity of the optics, amazing. The speed is instantaneous and faster than anything I've ever used. From the tee I ranged the end of a fairway corridor on a long par 5, which was nothing but dark trees (not reflective) well behind the green, and it INSTANTLY returned a result (later verified) of 718.3 yards. Single trees, bunkers, hills, water hazards, whatever, INSTANT yardages, to the tenth.Of course for golfers the acid test would be golf flagsticks. There is probably not a software algorithm in this SIG rangefinder to specifically recognize flagstick shapes, but it doesn't seem to matter. Get the circle reticle over the flag, press the button, and get INSTANT yardages to flagsticks, down to the tenth of a yard. The results come back so fast, at first I wasn't sure they could be correct, but they have been correct every time (I've calibrated with other folks' range finders for three rounds now. The only difference is that the SIG is orders of magnitude faster than theirs, with less screen clutter, better build quality, better warranty, and probably more accurate. )I've ranged in both Line Of Sight mode and angular (Slope) mode, using "BEST" target, and I'm having no trouble picking up flags. Some of the flagsticks at our courses do not have reflective prisms, no problem for the SIG 1000. There is no vibration jolt or LED jolt signifying locking on the flagstick, but I have never preferred that for a rangefinder. Some may want that.I have a steady hand, so the 5x magnification is enough for me to be able to capture the golf-sized flag in the reticle at longer distances. That being said, if SIG wanted to make this model 6X or 7X magnification, at this price point, with the ranging engine and technology they offer, and a five year warranty, they could take over the golf rangefinder market. The folks who built this product knew what they were doing.

Very good product. Simple, accurate, and effective. Battery lasts awhile.If you're complaining that you can't read the yardage at dusk or dawn - you probably shouldn't be shooting anyways. It's completely sufficient within legal shooting hours.

Accurate, easy to set up and use with its clear instructions, handy pocket size for range or field, very well designed as many European optics are, value for money.
