SIG Sauer WHISKEY4 4-16x44 FFP Illuminated MOA Hunting Scope 2.0
$449.99
The SIG Sauer WHISKEY4 4-16x44 FFP illuminated MOA hunting scope is built for hunters who demand a versatile, dependable optic that performs from close quarters to extended range. This first focal plane scope leverages SIG's reputation for rugged, clear optics in a 4-to-1 magnification range that adapts to changing distances and hunting conditions. Whether you're glassing timber for deer, setting up on prairie dogs, or taking longer shots over open country, the WHISKEY4 2.0 combines tactile controls and optical clarity in a package that won't slow you down when it counts.
The MOA Milling Hunter 2.0 reticle lives in the first focal plane, meaning it scales with magnification—useful for ranging and hold-overs across the entire zoom range. Precise 0.25 MOA adjustment increments via a locking zero-stop elevation turret and removable magnification throw lever let you dial with confidence and grab the lever only when you need it. The illuminated reticle (activated by a single CR2032 battery) cuts through low-light hunting windows without gimmicks; select it on or off depending on the shot.
Glass and durability go hand in hand here. Argon gas purging seals the 30mm maintube against fog and moisture, while factory-installed flip-back lens covers protect the 44mm objective lens during transport and handling. At 24.7 ounces and engineered for IPX 6 waterproofing, this scope carries the weight and weather resistance serious hunters expect. The generous eye relief (3.5–3.9 inches) and field of view (26.9 feet at 4x, narrowing to 6.7 feet at 16x) give you situational awareness at low power and precision at high magnification.
SIG built the WHISKEY4 for hunters who won't settle for blurry edges or fidgety controls. If you're tired of generic scopes that promise everything and deliver nothing, this is the upgrade your rifle has been waiting for.
