Sig Sauer Buckmasters 3-9x50mm BDC Reticle Black Anodized Rifle Scope
The Sig Sauer Buckmasters 3-9x50mm rifle scope is a solid mid-range hunting optic built with hunters' budgets in mind. Developed in partnership with Jackie Bushman, this scope brings credible Sig Sauer glass and mechanical quality to a price point that doesn't ask you to choose between performance and affordability. The Buckmasters platform—scope plus compatible rangefinder—is designed to work as a system, so your ranging data translates directly to your scope's reticle, taking guesswork out of shot placement in the field.
What sets this scope apart is its custom Buckmasters Bullet Drop Compensation reticle. Instead of a simple crosshair, you get holdover dots calibrated for common hunting distances out to 500 yards. In a hurry or uncertain of distance? The matching Buckmasters rangefinder stores eight ballistic groups and will tell you which dot to use—that's practical field simplicity. The scope itself is housed in a 1-inch tube with 0.25 MOA adjustment increments, offering enough elevation travel (60 MOA total) for most medium-range hunting scenarios. The 3-9x magnification range gives you wide field of view at 3x for closer work and enough zoom at 9x for identifying game and confirming distance at typical hunting ranges.
The scope is sealed to IPX7 waterproofing—meaning it can handle rain and creek crossings without leaking—and weighs just 450 grams, so it won't burden your rifle or your pack during a day afield. The 50mm objective lens and exit pupil specs support good light transmission, especially useful during that sweet spot of dawn and dusk hunting when visibility matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far out does the Buckmasters BDC reticle work for hunting?
The custom Buckmasters reticle has holdover dots calibrated to 500 yards, covering most practical hunting distances. At 3-9x magnification, you'll have enough clarity to identify targets and validate distance within that range.
Can I use this scope with the Buckmasters rangefinder?
Yes—that's the system design. The Buckmasters rangefinder contains eight onboard ballistic groups and will tell you which holdover dot in your scope to use once you've ranged the target, eliminating the mental math in the field.
Is this scope waterproof for hunting in wet conditions?
The scope is sealed to IPX7 waterproofing, meaning it can be submerged in shallow water without leaking. It's ready for rain, river crossings, and the unpredictable weather typical of hunting seasons.
What's the field of view on this scope, and how does it perform at low magnification?
At 3x, the field of view is 34.1 feet per 100 yards—wide enough for faster target acquisition and tracking moving game. At 9x, it narrows to 11.349 feet per 100 yards, giving you more magnification for longer shots. The 16.06mm exit pupil at 3x ensures plenty of light transmission during low-light hunting conditions.
