Sig Sauer Electro-Optics Whiskey6 3-18x44mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Quadplex Reticle - Black (SOW63113)

The Sig Sauer Whiskey6 3-18x44mm rifle scope is a lightweight, high-clarity optic built for hunters who need reliable performance across varied shooting distances. Sig's Oregon-based Electro-Optics team engineered the Whiskey6 as an evolution of their proven Whiskey5 line, shedding up to 25% weight while boosting optical transmission and resolution. At just 22.8 oz and housed in a 30mm tube with a low-profile design, this scope balances power and portability—ideal for backcountry hunters and long-range shooters who won't sacrifice glass quality for pack weight.

Optical performance hinges on HDX extra-low dispersion glass paired with high transmittance glass to deliver up to 98.6% light transmission, meaning you get a bright, clear sight picture in low light and across varied conditions. The Quadplex reticle provides a straightforward aiming reference for hunting applications, while the 3-18x magnification range lets you work effectively from moderate distances to extended ranges. The scope is sealed with argon purge, rated IPX-7 waterproof (survives immersion up to 1 meter), and fog-proof—real-world durability for wet weather and temperature swings.

Adjustment feel and precision matter on the hunt. This Whiskey6 offers 0.25 MOA clicks with 78 MOA of total travel in both elevation and windage, giving you room to dial for distance or windage correction. Eye relief runs 3.9 inches at low power and 5.8 inches at high magnification, accommodating most shooting positions and recoil-sensitive cartridges. The scope comes backed by Sig's Infinite Guarantee, reflecting their confidence in the build.
