Sig Sauer WHISKEY3 4-12x40 Riflescope, Black, BDC-1 QuadPlex Reticle, 0.25 MOA Adjustment
Sig Sauer
The Sig Sauer Whiskey3 3-9x40mm rifle scope is a versatile, second focal plane (SFP) optic built for hunters and shooters who need reliable performance across a range of distances and hunting situations. Whether you're threading shots through timber at moderate range or setting up for longer engagements across open country, this scope delivers the optical clarity and dependable mechanics that make it a practical choice for centerfire rifles and AR platforms alike. The 3x magnification range keeps things simple—enough zoom for precision without sacrificing field of view when you need situational awareness.
Low dispersion glass is engineered to cut chromatic aberration and deliver sharp, true color rendition in variable light. That matters when you're glassing for game or making a shot in overcast conditions. The European-style eyepiece adjusts with smooth, precise clicks, so dialing corrections stays predictable. The BDC-1 Quadplex reticle is straightforward—no complicated subtensions to memorize—making it accessible whether you're a seasoned hunter or newer to rifle scopes.
Built tough for field use, the Whiskey3 is waterproof to IPX-7 rating (full immersion to 1 meter) and fog-proof, so rain, snow, and condensation won't compromise your glass or mechanics. Quarter-minute (0.25 MOA) click adjustments let you dial windage and elevation with confidence. The 1-inch tube is the standard across hunting rifles and most modern platforms, ensuring straightforward mounting and ring availability.

The Whiskey3 uses a standard 1-inch tube, which is compatible with the vast majority of hunting rifles and AR platforms that accept one-inch scope rings. Confirm your rifle's mounting system before purchase.
This is a second focal plane (SFP) scope, which means the reticle subtensions and holdover marks are only accurate at the highest magnification (9x). At lower powers, the reticle appears smaller relative to the target. SFP designs are simpler, more affordable, and well-suited to hunting where you're often shooting at varied distances without dialing your magnification constantly.
A 40mm objective is a solid middle ground—it gathers good light for low-light hunting situations without adding significant weight or bulk to your rifle. It's a proven size for general hunting applications across a wide range of conditions.
Yes. The Whiskey3 is designed for both traditional hunting rifles and AR platforms, making it a flexible choice for hunters who shoot multiple weapon systems.
