For 2020, SIG Sauer has partnered with Mission Crossbows to develop the Sierra3BDX 2.5x-8x-32mm ultralight riflescope that is the perfect size, weight and magnification range for crossbow configurations, making it possible to reach out well beyond 100 yards, and engage targets with extreme precision.

The Sierra3BDX 2.5x-8x-32mm scope is compact and lightweight so it won’t alter the balance of a horizontal bow. It is designed to be used with the SIG Sauer Kilo BDX rangefinder, which is connected to the scope with Bluetooth, through the free SIG BDX app for Android and iOS systems, where the user develops a ballistic profile for their specific crossbows.

Simply range a target and the information is immediately sent to the scope, illuminating the correct reticle point for an exact hold. You can set up several profiles on the app to use with different crossbows. The scope has .25 MOA adjustment, offers second focal plane magnification and is built on a 30mm tube.

Technical Specifications:
• Weight: 19.4 ozs.
• Focal Plane: Second
• Magnification Increments: 2.5x-8x
• Adjustment Increments: .25 MOA
• Reticle: BDX-R1
• Objective Lens Diameter: 30mm
• Tube Diameter: 30mm
• Illumination: Yes
• Battery: CR2032

The SIERRA3BDX 2.5X-8X-32mm has an MSRP of $519.99. For more information, visit sigsauer.com.

5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before My First Elk Hunt

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
