Whether you are a hunter, competition shooter, or range enthusiast, there are a couple optics that we all need to be as effective as possible (not including the optics on our firearms). A pair of binoculars can save you lengthy walks to check your targets and a laser rangefinder can verify the distance you are engaging. Nowadays, if you’re a rad manufacturer like SIG Sauer, they even making rangefinding binoculars. In fact, one of their newest optic releases is the SIG Sauer Kilo Canyon 10x42mm rangefinding binoculars.

I’m never a fan of spending close to $1K on optics because in the day and age we now live in, “affordable” stuff is actually light years ahead of what our fathers used.
