SIG SOW63116 WHISKEY6 3-18X44 30MM FFP MRAD BLK
The SIG WHISKEY6 3-18x44 30mm first focal plane rifle scope is purpose-built for hunters who demand reliable performance on steep terrain and at distance. This is SIG Sauer's premier hunting riflescope, engineered with the same combat-proven design philosophy that has earned trust from elite units worldwide—but refined specifically for the mountain hunter who needs intuitive controls and glass clarity when conditions turn challenging. The 3-18x magnification range and 6x zoom ratio give you flexibility from close canyon shots to long-range mountain work without the bulk of heavier designs.
The heart of the WHISKEY6 is SIG's HDX optical system, which combines extra-low dispersion and high-transmittance lens coatings to cut through low-light conditions with an ultra-sharp image and accurate color rendition. That matters when you're glassing timber or making a quick identification at legal shooting light. The scope houses a 30mm maintube (30mm rings required) and runs a robust 11.9 inches overall, tipping the scales at 23.8 ounces—a reasonable weight for a versatile hunting optic. Waterproof (IPX7), fogproof, and argon-purged, it's built to handle rain, snow, and temperature swings without flinching.
Where the WHISKEY6 really shines is in its controls. The Multi-Lock zero-stop elevation dial uses a locking push-button that lets you dial elevation quickly and confidently without fumbling for a threaded cap or second-guessing your zero. The removable throw lever is a nice touch—use it for smooth, fast power changes or ditch it for a cleaner sight picture. The Milling Hunter 2.0 reticle is a proprietary design tailored for long-range hunting, and this model comes in MRAD (millirad) for shooters working in metric turrets. Total elevation and windage travel are both 78 MOA (19 MRAD), with 25 MOA per rotation (10 MRAD), giving you room to work at extended range. The first focal plane design means your reticle scales with magnification, so holdovers stay accurate at any power setting.
This is a no-frills, do-the-job scope for serious hunters. No illumination, no mount included—just honest glass and rock-solid mechanics ready for the backcountry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mount and rings do I need for the SIG WHISKEY6?
This scope has a 30mm maintube, so you'll need 30mm scope rings matched to your rifle's base. The scope does not ship with a mount or rings; those are sold separately.
Is this a first focal plane scope suitable for long-range hunting?
Yes. The WHISKEY6 is a first focal plane design, meaning the Milling Hunter 2.0 reticle scales with magnification, so your holdovers remain accurate at any power setting. The MRAD turrets and reticle configuration support metric-based long-range calculations, and the 78 MOA (19 MRAD) elevation travel gives you room to work at extended distances.
Does the WHISKEY6 work well in low light?
Yes. The HDX optical system combines extra-low dispersion and high-transmittance lens coatings specifically to deliver sharp, color-accurate images in low-light hunting conditions. However, this model does not include an illuminated reticle, so you'll be relying on the optic's glass quality and light-gathering capability at dawn and dusk.
Can I remove the throw lever?
Yes. The throw lever is removable, so you can either use it for quick power changes or take it off for a more streamlined profile depending on your hunting setup.
