Sig BDX AB External Demonstration.

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- There have been some questions about the new Sig Sauer BDX Systems. While they natively have the AB Ultralite Engine (800 yard limit for firing solutions) some of them (2400 models and up) are equipped with dual mode. Which means they can be set to AB External mode and in that case they will connect to a Garmin or Kestrel in order to pull firing solutions. Or to even update the range on the external device. Even in AB External mode they will remain paired to the scope. So you can use your Garmin/Kestrel/(Insert new product you will see soon here) and your Sig 3000 BDX to get firing solutions for ELR events. This works witll ALL BDX Scopes, as long as the paired range finder is a 2400 model or up.
Wind can also be input and electronically calculated with these scopes. It was just not demonstrated in this video. We plan to demonstrate more and more as time goes on.
Still awesome
I wish yall would make a kestrel hook to the 2400ABS for more precise atmosphere reading.
Best review on the BDX I've seen so far! So is the yellow dot in the scope also compensating and adjusting for the wind (windage) data presented by the Kestrel as well; or just for the distance the the KILO 2400 LRF is lasering?
It can compensate for both - Doc
@jasey The dot moves vertically up and down. The reticle does not move physically so it does remain centered in the scope.
@jasey That is correct.
Cool
The "E" stands for external not elite but nice demonstration.
What are the differences between ultralight vs elite engines? If I want to use Elite engine on BDX, do I have to buy a third device like Kestrel? Don't you have an app or something that can do it without the third device?
The Ultralite Engine requires a minimum number of inputs and designed for speed and ease of use. It will get you 1 MOA accuracy out to 800 yards, and does include the AB Connect™ system and our library. The Elite Engine provides firing solutions out beyond 2 miles, but requires more detailed inputs.
You will need to have a 3rd device connected to the BDX system to utilize the Elite system. Either a Kestrel Elite or Garmin 701.
@@DocBeech The Kestrel has the wind speed indication. Why would anyone buy the Garmin ?
@@TheSugus38 That is a question that can have many answers depending on who you ask and what their particular use is. One is a "weather station"/ballistic computer and the other is a GPS navigational device/ballistics computer. While wind speed and direction is an important part of the equation there are times where an anemometer cant be used effectively, ie: shooting from cover or where the effect of distance or terrain would require the shooter to judge wind conditions between themselves and the target and use dope card to calculate a firing soloution. Dollar for dollar if you already had an anemometer as part of your shooting kit i could see where someone would opt to buy a navigational device/ballistic computer over buying another anemomter just to have a ballistic computer.
@@TheSugus38 because the Garmin is easier to read and requires no hands to hold, from what I've seen and read
Good evening: how the system will show the dot on 1500 yards on a sierra6bdx 5-30x56 scope with kilo8K? Similar for 800 yards range? Some users were having issues with this. Thank you so much. 👍.
I got mine and mine was 1800 kilos I couldn't get the target dot move around like what you did. I really need help.
I just got the Kilo3000 and got my 5700 elite with link. I am waiting on my sierra6 but I was wondering what will the max holdover be on a .338 lapua and 6.5 PRC. I understand that Sierra6 is not designed with adjustable turret to dial so I’m wondering what will my max range be using sierra6
It depends on your muzzle velocity, the bullets BC and a host of other factors.
Doc Beech so let’s say 6.5 PRC has MV of 2910 and BC of .351 any other factors are what you want them to be so let’s say they are perfect. Or take any caliber you would like and give me a ballpark for max holdover it will provide. Being that it’s not supposed to dialed I’m trying to get a ballpark range I can extrapolate from any data you provide but I was hoping for some numerical answer. For example when we had our hands on it we used 6.5 Creedmore data with MV of 2610 and we were able to range a target at 1600yd and holdover was 50 MOA up on the kestrel and dot was at the very bottom of the scope so not much was left there... I can take it from there.
Slightly off topic, but you understand the BDX system well. I read in a magazine review that if you wanted to enter or adjust for the actual center height of your rifle scope above the rifle bore axis, you'd have to purchase the 2400 BDX model. Is that even true? I downloaded the Sig Sauer BDX app and do not see any option for changing this value. My concern is that the rifle scope will probably sit higher on a chassis style rifle than on a regular bolt action. Wouldn't this introduce some error in the calculated holdover?
Any small errors like this, can be simply adjusted by altering the MV.
so does using the kestrel up the accuracy factor of the whole BDX system because its gathering real world weather data and wind speed/direction?
Depending on which BDX device yes.
Kestrel 5700 Ballistics Weather Meter with LiNK
This says in that it has AB in the details and its not a elite or x model will it apply a shooting solution for my sierra6bdx using a kilo5k
Needs to be the Elite or X model.
Does it work with sig kilo3000bdx rangefinding binoculars ?
Yes
Will the BDX system work with the 5700 ballistic model or does it have to be the 5700 Elite?
You need an Elite model to benefit from the capabilities.
@@DocBeech so it wont work with the ballistic model?
@@giocastillo8892 You will need to perform the upgrade.
@@DocBeech did a little digging on Kestrel's web site and found out the kilo 2400 and kilo 3000 will work with any of the 5700.

@@giocastillo8892 You need an Elite model, because the BDX system is going to use the engine/processor on the Kestrel to run solutions beyond 800 yards.
It doesn't update the Target Direction from what I can see. Guess there is NO Compass in the Rangefinder which would be really useful if you just have the Kestrel Elite.
The Ultralite™ Engine does not require firing direction. Coriolis is not calculated in the Ultralite™ Engine. When doing Elite calculations, the compass inside the Kestrel Elite is used for Target Direction. Once paired up in ABE mode, the solver inside the BDX is no longer used and all the calculations are being done in the connected device.
Can I sync the Kestrel w the Garmin 701 where both are using applied ballistics?
This is not possible. - Doc
Will the 1600BDX and Kestrel 2700 connect with each other? I'm not shooting over 800 yards however would like to have the range automatically populated in the Kestrel
Unfortunately no. However you could use a BDX device by itself inside 800 yards. If you want them to connect you need a 2400 or 3000. You also need a Kestrel 5700 Ballistics, Elite, or X Model.
So could you use the Kestrel 5700 Ruger Ballistic version with LiNK to shoot out past 800 yards? Or does it have to have the Applied Ballistics of the Elite/X
@@HotLipsHooligan I am also interested in this question. Maybe you found the answer?
Good to see the scope will still stay connected in external mode but will the scope show holdover points past 800 yards if using say the kestral and ranging at say 1000 yards? Is there any update planned to extend the system to at least 1000 yards without using a kestral?
Without an AB Elite Device (Kestrel, Garmin, More stuff to come) the answer is no. With the device is External mode it is pulling the firing solution from another device while providing the range to that device. When operating off its internal system it is using the Ultraite™ engine it is restricted to 800 yards or less.
@@AppliedBallisticsLLC, why can't this item be use with the GeoBallistic's Weathermeter, or a.k.a. WeatherFlow?
Is there going to be a way to integrate the 2400 ABS with the Kestrel Elite?
Not at this time. Possibly in the future, but unsure at this time. - Doc
Is there a device that it can pair with to show holdover for windage as well?
The scope itself has both Windange and Elevation dots. It can get wind from an AB Elite External device.
Does a 2200 or the 2400bdx connect to a kestrel or is it just the ab bdx?
Only the models with AB External. Currently that is the 2400BDX and the 3000BDX.
Alright thank u
Thats way to high tech for me. Like another language
