Sig Sauer Rifle Scopes?

[WapitiTalk1]

Do you any of you Hunt WA cats have experience with the Sig Sauer rifle scopes?  Particularly, the Whiskey 3 illuminated scopes.  I don't know anybody who has used/owns one so figured I'd reach out to the Hunt WA gang

I have a buddy that shoots long range competitively (won Best of the West a couple of years ago and won the first season of Long Range Reality on the Sportsman's Channel) that just switched out all of his Nightforces for Sig.  I just ordered the Whiskey 5  5-25x MOA Milling Hunter Illum Reticle , 30mm tube, 52mm obj with LR Turret.  Apparently, it's backorded, but I am expecting it this month.  I know the "word on the street" is that their 2400 Kilo rangefinder is supposed to be the best thing on the market.  I have a buddy that just bought one and we took it out and tested it a little.  Couldn't find anything that it wouldn't range, including trees over 1000 yards away.

Sweet, thanks for the input PF.  Ya, I'm becoming a fan.  I have their RF's and like it very well.  I ordered one of their lower end scopes (SIG SAUER Whiskey3 3-9x40 in SFP Black Illuminated HellFire QuadPlex Reticle) to put on a new rifle (also ordered/on the way) Savage 110 Lightweight Storm in .223.  I'll do a package gear review when I get it all put together and up and shooting.

I run the whiskey 3 4-12 on my Grendel. It is not the illuminated model. It has been a solid scope, tracks very well and held up well. Nice clear optics. They will be my go to cheaper scope now over vortex. The only thing I don't like is the scope is still stiff as heck to adjust the power on the scope. Thought it would break in but still super stiff but as far as quality. Good to go

Shooting whiskey 3 illuminated hellfire quadplex 2x7 x32 on my AR 300 Blk and love it.

I know the owners of the Long Range Reality show and Carl uses Sig scopes.

I have that whiskey 3 4-12x40 on my ruger American . Got it for a deal on camofire and it’s been money. Not a thing to complain about.

That's one of the guys I was talking about.  He was the one that talked me into getting the W5.  Great guys, really know their stuff.

Carl is the man. Brent knows his sh9t too. Excellent shooters. I've been to one of the shoots out of Kettle Falls and it was impressive to say the least.

Thanks for chiming in folks.  OK, I received my new rifle (new model for 2018, Savage 110 Lightweight Storm .223 Remington), and, the Sig Sauer Whiskey 3-9X40 illuminated reticle scope last week.  After burning up Friday to drum sand/refinish back deck, and, 1/2 a day of yardwork and honey do's on Saturday.... I "finally" got to mounting the scope and bore sighting the new setup Saturday night.  On to the range on Sunday.  After barrel break in procedures (and tweaking the reticle bit by bit after a few groups at a 50 yard target), I finally got the target moved out to 100 and shown below are my last two groups at 100 yards on a fresh splatter target.  Second group (in the eyeball of the target) was after a few windage/elevation clicks.  I do like the scope very well, and, am really liking the new rifle.

  There’s a sale on the wiskey3 3x9x40 for 99$ until the 14th I believe, contemplating on picking one up...
@WapitiTalk1 — how’s it holding up? Is their warranty as good as vortex? Glass quality? I was looking to spend as little as possible on a backup scope for a backup rifle and seen this deal... debating this sig vs. a used nikon... any input is appreciated!

[WapitiTalk1]

TH, I've probably put a couple of boxes (Underwood Ammo) thru the new rifle/scope combo and absolutely love it!  No issues at all.  I think SIG only has a 5 year warranty vs. the Vortex forever warranty but I would imagine if anything was gonna fail on the SIG, the company would cover it.  I think the glass quality is great (obviously, you're not gonna get upper crust scope glass quality on a sub $300 scope) but again, I think it's just fine and dandy!  No complaints by me.  I'm actually chewing over getting a new rifle at some point in the next few months (7MM variation) and I would have no issues slapping another SIG scope on it.  Happy shopping.  RJ

I know Carl Taylor and Brent Webly too.. The 2 owners. They also own In Motion Targets.. Is that who you're talking' about ?

I met Brent in 2007 when Pathfinder101 and I were up there for the late season, Brent and Brian were a blast

My brother has the tango 6 illuminated reticle on his Bergara bmp I think it is ? Some fancy precision 6.5 creedmor thingy . I've shot it and man is that a sweet scope has the level plex indicators in it and stuff . Gotta say , nightforce has some competition .

[dc]

Not sure about the scopes, but I bought a sig kilo 2000 rangefinder and love it.  I actually couldn't find it just yesterday, went back to camp to find it was not there.  I returned to my hunting spot only to find it submerged (40 min.) in a mud puddle.  Cussed a bit, wiped it off and headed out.  Ranged beautifully rest of day.   Point being, I think sig makes solid stuff.

I've known Brent since 200I think. I met Carl about 5 years ago or so, shooting steel up at a friends range near Northport..

Is that the guy  in Northport that has the range in his front yard that goes up the mountain and the western town with the saloon and the theater in his backyard?

Yessir. Steve Schaffer. I met Steve and Sally in 2001 (?) while looking for some hand made wood screen doors for our log home. Brent Webly's Dad cut all of our logs, D shaped, for our log house we had built for us in 2000. I actually met Brent and Dallas Crape coyote hunting near Curlew where I lived, on a ranch I had permission to kill coyotes on. Small world............

We had a Webeley log home too from 2002 until we sold it in 2014.  Thinking about building another one.  Steve would be the one to talk to about custom wood-anything.  He's got quite the setup there.

He does, and he sells a lot of it too.

I have a Whiskey 5 and I put it on my daughters 6.5 Creedmore. We both love it and she was able to shoot her first buck with it this year!!!
