SIG Sauer Whiskey4 3-12x44 SFP Quadplex Reticle Rifle Scope (SOW43003)

The SIG Sauer Whiskey4 3-12x44 SFP rifle scope brings rugged dependability to the hunting field with a straightforward optical design built to perform season after season. This 30mm mainframe scope delivers a 4x magnification range that handles everything from close-timber hunting to open-country work, paired with a classic Quadplex reticle in the second focal plane. Whether you're glassing at first light or making the shot when it matters, the Whiskey4 balances versatility and clarity without unnecessary complexity.

Tactile adjustments make zeroing and dialing straightforward in the field. The locking zero-stop elevation turret eliminates guesswork when adrenaline is high, while 1/4 MOA increments and the removable magnification throw lever let you index your magnification quickly and return to zero confidently. Both elevation and windage offer more than 80 MOA of travel—plenty of room for most hunting setups and field adjustments.

Built to tough it out, the Whiskey4 is nitrogen-purged for waterproof and fog-proof operation, keeping your image clear in wet conditions or temperature swings. The included flip-back lens caps stay tethered and out of the way, and the 30mm tube accepts standard Picatinny rings across the market. At 23 ounces and with solid eye relief across the magnification range, it mounts and shoulders without fuss on modern hunting rifles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this scope and the illuminated version?

This is the non-illuminated Quadplex model (SOW43003). SIG Sauer also offers an illuminated variant with the Hellfire reticle (SOW43004) for hunters who prefer lighted aiming points in low light. Both share the same rugged 3-12x44 platform and optics.

Is this scope suitable for long-range hunting?

The Whiskey4 is designed as a versatile hunting scope that handles moderate to extended ranges within typical hunting distances. The 12x magnification and over 80 MOA of elevation travel support holdovers and dialing, but it's engineered primarily for general hunting rather than precision rifle or extreme-distance competition work.

What rings and mounting system does it require?

The 30mm mainframe accepts standard Picatinny ring systems, which are widely available and compatible with most modern rifle platforms. You'll need to source rings separately based on your rifle's rail configuration.

Does this scope hold zero in wet weather?

Yes. The Whiskey4 is nitrogen-purged for waterproof and fog-proof performance rated to IPX 6, and it includes factory-installed flip-back lens caps to protect the glass in the field. This protection helps maintain optical clarity and zero in wet conditions or temperature extremes.
