A couple more with the ace

The bars on the left are external and the bars on the right are internal? Looks like they went from green to white with that scope if it is.

How does the optical mag and focus work for you? About the same as day scope?

Focusing the screen is the same, the ocular mag works fine, but it blows up the reticle also. So if it covers the coyote at base, it still covers it zoomed in. I use a combo usually but I'm still getting used to it. When I was playing with the ballistics on targets I noticed that to be consistent it needed to be on the same digital zoom. I'm guessing that the lower your digital zoom, the more refined your aiming solution will be due to smaller pixel size in relation to the reticle. But I would like more clarification on that from someone who knows for sure.
 
I could see the second vid as it said it was 'private' but the first was a goodun. I CAN SEE WHY YOU ARE "LIKING IT"
 
Good real world review, thanks. Was considering the H50 - no use for the LRF for me. Still don't like the idea of internal battery.

Do you use the picture-in-picture or does it just not show on the video?

Sorry I missed this post. I do not use it, for 2 reasons. 1, the digital zoom only zooms the pip when it's engaged. And 2, ocular zoom takes it partly out of the picture. So it's basically useless in this model imo.

Your welcome. Yeah I'll be curious to see how long the internal lasts long term. In the short term it's awesome having a dual battery system. Hot swaps are easy between stands or during a stand if it's a boring one lol. The 18650 was on for probably 2.5 hrs at least at this point had just gone dead iirc. As you can see in the first video it's still full, or shows full. This was probably 30 minutes into the night. I'm sure the rangefinder sucks quite a bit of power so I try to be aware of that.
 
Not understanding the hate of the internal battery?
If external goes dead it auto switches to internal while you swap the battery, or it works that way on the Bolt. If you go through all your batteries in a night, you still have the internal for the walk back. I wish all had both internal and external powering options.

Mark, I believe for most people it’s the fact that the internal batteries won’t last forever, and you can’t change them. There’s only so many charge cycles in them before they are depleted. After that, they become added dead weight in a device that needs to be powered by an external power source via USB cable, or in this case, the secondary replaceable battery.
 
Replacement means back to factory, weight is 42 grams - like a 700 grain bullet in the tube. Most of the vids I've seen that have raster breakup upon the shot are from the tube scopes with the in-line batt. Recoil shock to the battery? The Sig unit has perpendicular batts (16850s) but haven't seen any reviews.
