SIG Sauer Whiskey5 3-15X44 Scope
The Whiskey 5 line of scopes is Sig Sauer Electro Optics premier hunting scope. They are lightweight and boast an array of features including LevelPlex, electronic fibre optic Illumination, T120 Zero Stop turrets and HDX glass for improved low light clarity and performance.
For the test-fire I fitted mine to a range of rifles to gather data for an upcoming Custom Rifle series that I am writing.
These rifles were my two semi-customs (Howa .264 Win Mag and trued factory Remington 700 in .270 Winchester) and my full custom Desert Guns 7mm Remington Short Action Ultra Magnum (SAUM).
Over the last three months I have been out hunting, competed in the Gentle Annie Steel Challenge and did some long-range shooting with all three rifles and the Whiskey 5 to really get a feel for the scope.
The Whiskey 5 is a very short and compact scope at 256mm long and weighing in at only 607grams.
Manufactured in Japan from a single piece of aluminium the 30mm main tube is anodized in flat black.
It seems Sig Sauer has moved away from its characteristic ‘Graphite’ colour in the hunting line of scopes with the update.
The turret layout is very similar to the Tango6 with the exposed locking T120 elevation turret central on the shoulder, capped windage on the right side and a combined parallax, illumination and LevelPlex turret on the left side identical to the Tango6 line of scopes.
The ocular bell is 44mm in diameter and features an aluminium adjustable dioptre for fast focus. Clearly marked with + and – symbol the dioptre has a small illuminating tritium dot to reference your adjustments.
The dioptre is quite firm to adjust which makes it easy set and forget without concern for it being knocked.
The ocular bell is clearly marked in white laser engraving ‘Sig Sauer’ along with the scope model.
The power adjustment ring features subtle knurling to maintain grip with wet of bloody hands and has a single raised green fibre optic rod inset to clearly indicate which power setting you have the scope set to.
