One of the most groundbreaking features of the Echo3 is its integration with the SIG SAUER BDX (Ballistic Data Xchange) system via Wi-Fi/Bluetooth. This isn't just connectivity; it's intelligent ballistic computation at your fingertips.

• Active Reticles that Change with KILO Rangefinder Input: When paired with a BDX-enabled KILO rangefinder (sold separately by DEGuns), the Echo3's reticle isn't static. It dynamically adjusts its holdover point based on real-time range data, factoring in your ammunition's ballistic profile (pre-programmed via the BDX app on your smartphone). This means:
  • Eliminate Guesswork: No more estimating bullet drop or making manual adjustments.
  • Pinpoint Accuracy: The system automatically calculates the precise aiming solution for the exact distance to your target.
  • Faster Engagements: Get on target quicker and with greater confidence, especially at varying ranges.
  • Simplified Shooting: Focus on the shot, not complex ballistic calculations.

This seamless data exchange represents a significant leap forward in precision shooting, turning every shot into an informed, calculated action.

Capture and Document Your Success

The Echo3 allows you to record both video and images directly from the device. This is invaluable for:
