No, I do not. What I can tell you is a guy who I used to be in my unit runs their sniper rifle program and their goal was to be 100% vertically integrated; guns, cans, optics. They took a lot of people from Leupold. The scopes don't look like Leupold but that is where the background came from. That's more frame of reference than hard data but I would say if you like Leupold you might take a look at Sig optics and see if they have any new features you like because you are likely getting similar systems.

A buddy of mine went to Cabelas yesterday and tried the range finder out. He was very impressed and ranged targets outside to 990 yards. He said it held its own up against the Zeiss for speed and showing the same results as the Zeiss. He also compared it against the Leupold 1200i, Vortex Ranger and a Bushnell(not sure which one). It left these three in the dust. He gave a slight edge to the Zeiss in clarity.

Don't fall for the hype, SIG isn't making the optics. They are having it made. The original electronic sights were imported thru a company down the street from them, I wanna say I-Tac or something like that. I know one guy was all pumped over getting a new SIG red dot till he seen the "Made in China" on it. Still a decent unit though but you have to wonder on the price. You can buy the same basic red-dot in a no name box for $30, get it from Tru-Glo or another big name company for $100, or get it in a space-age looking body from SIG for $300. $30 $300 SIG Romeo 4A Supposedly the riflescopes come off the line at LOW in Japan. Hard telling on the binos, rangefinders, and spotting scopes but probly followed Leupolds lead on suppliers. That is probly the majority of the people they hired from Leupold, people that deal with the overseas plants. They did get some pretty good advertising people, the SIG Optics website makes you almost believe all the BS. The biggest mislead is the warranty, they plug the lifetime warranty on the optics but the electronics is only covered by a 5 year warranty. So when the red-dot disappears in your SIG red-dot after 5 years your out of luck. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big SIG fan and I hope the products in the optics line is worthy of the SIG logo.
