Sig Sauer BDX

Anybody have any experience with the new Sig Sauer BDX Optic system? I'm studying on this thing pretty hard and debating on putting it on my .300 Wby for elk hunting.
It seems pretty straight forward, but I'm not sure how convoluted it would be to use in the field.

No experience with that but most manufacturers have an app that will do the same (without the dot however).
They will tell you how many clicks though.

Had the rangefinder but not the scope. It was a pretty slick system, but overall I found it to be more for someone who hasn’t shot a gun very much. Practically, if you’re taking <500 shots (most hunting applications) I would recommend you learn what your bullet does at those distances and skip the technology. A scope with a BDC reticle will suit you fine, and save you about a thousand dollars. My $.02

I don't own the system but I have messed around with the glass and the rangefinder, not the software.
The glass is very good, great even for the price point. And the rangefinder is the same. So if you are looking for a new scope because you need one, then look at it as if you are buying a very good scope and very good rangefinder that comes with a free software.
If you are looking to replace something that is already really good (and you have a good rangefinder), then you need to make a decision if it is worth all the extra money when you could just spend $125 and get custom turrets from Kenton Industries that will do the same basic principle.
