Sig Kilo 2400ABS Unboxing

We recently received a Sig Kilo 2400ABS in order to complete a full review. I have been so excited about this feature-packed little rangefinder, I decided to knock out a quick unboxing video. Unboxings are usually not our thing, but they are fun and quick to do. If you appreciate them, we will consider doing more in the future.

The Kilo 2400ABS has quite a few technically advanced features and with a quoted two-mile range, it may take us a bit to get it tested for the full review. The initial impressions are that it is well built and all of the accessories in the kit seem to be very well thought out.

Stay Tuned for our full review.
