Stabilized Binos Just Got Better: SIG SAUER's New ZULU6 HDX PRO 42mm | Big Hunt Guys, Ep. 241
Big Hunt GuysShow Notes
Brady is joined by Troy Hellman and Anthony Cuomo from SIG SAUER, and this time they're bringing big news: the brand-new ZULU6 HDX PRO 42mm line is officially here! We break down the four new models (12x42, 14x42, 16x42, and 20x42) and dig into what sets this Gen 4 platform apart from the rest of the ZULU6 lineup and how it compares to the 50mm version of the HDX Pro.
We talk through the two different stabilization modes: OmniScan and the new OmniLock mode, which is a huge upgrade. The bump in the field of view. Troy and Anthony also get into the age-old debate of which magnification to use for bowhunting elk, high-country mule deer, and everything in between, and why once you go stabilized, it's almost impossible to go back to traditional binoculars.
Whether you're already running a pair of Zulus or you're still glassing off a tripod, wondering if it's worth the switch. The beauty of this new lineup is that there's finally a stabilized option that fits almost every price point and hunting style.
