A Guide to the Sig Sauer BDX

Published on November 13, 2018
Duration: 23:57

The Sig Sauer BDX system integrates a rangefinder and scope via Bluetooth for automated ballistic solutions. The system uses a smartphone app for initial pairing and ballistic profile setup, but operates independently once bonded. Key features include a digital ballistic reticle with holdover dots, LevelPlex anti-cant, MOTAC for battery saving, and a Kinethic ethical shot indicator.

Quick Summary

The Sig Sauer BDX system integrates a rangefinder and scope via Bluetooth for automated ballistic solutions. The rangefinder calculates the solution and sends it to the scope, which illuminates the correct holdover dot in the reticle for the exact distance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Sig Sauer BDX system work?

The Sig Sauer BDX system uses Bluetooth to connect a rangefinder and a rifle scope. When you range a target, the rangefinder calculates the ballistic solution and sends it to the scope, which then illuminates the correct holdover dot in the reticle for that specific distance.

What is required to set up the Sig Sauer BDX system?

Setting up the BDX system requires the Sig Sauer BDX smartphone app. You'll need to physically have the rangefinder and scope to pair them securely using a PIN code. Once paired, they operate independently without the phone.

Can the Sig Sauer BDX system be used without a smartphone?

Yes, after the initial pairing process using the BDX app and a PIN code, the rangefinder and scope are 'bonded' and will communicate directly with each other. The smartphone is not needed for operation in the field.

What is the 'Kinethic' feature on the Sig Sauer BDX?

The 'Kinethic' feature allows hunters to set a minimum kinetic energy threshold for a shot. If the calculated energy at range falls below this threshold, the reticle dot will flash, warning the shooter that the target is beyond ethical engagement range.
