SIG SAUER WHISKEY6 3-18×44 SFP Quadplex Riflescope

SIG SAUER WHISKEY6 3-18×44 SFP Quadplex Riflescope

The SIG SAUER WHISKEY6 3-18×44 combines a broad six-times zoom range with a clean, non-illuminated Quadplex reticle for hunting, target shooting, and general precision-rifle use. This exact black configuration, manufacturer part number SOW63113, uses a second-focal-plane reticle, a 44mm objective, and a 30mm maintube. It provides useful low-end field of view at 3x while offering 18x magnification for more deliberate aiming and target assessment at distance.

The Quadplex pattern gives the shooter bold outer posts that draw the eye toward a finer center aiming area. Because the reticle is in the second focal plane, its apparent size remains constant as magnification changes. This makes the sight picture familiar throughout the zoom range and keeps the center aiming point easy to see against varied backgrounds. This model is non-illuminated and does not require a battery.

HDX Optical System

SIG SAUER’s HDX optical system combines extra-low-dispersion glass with high-transmittance glass to support sharp detail, natural color, and strong light transmission. SpectraCoat lens coatings are intended to reduce reflections and improve transmission across the visible spectrum, while LensArmor adds abrasion resistance to exposed lens surfaces. Together, these features are designed to preserve image quality when light is changing at dawn, dusk, or under overcast conditions.

The 44mm objective balances light-gathering capability with a profile that remains practical on a hunting rifle. Exit pupil ranges from approximately 8.2mm at the low end to 2.4mm at maximum power. Field of view measures about 34.9 feet at 100 yards on 3x and 5.8 feet at 100 yards on 18x, giving the optic both situational awareness at lower magnification and a more detailed view at the top of the range.

Precise MOA Adjustments

Windage and elevation move in 0.25-MOA increments, a familiar adjustment value for shooters working in minutes of angle. Total adjustment travel is 78 MOA for both elevation and windage, with 25 MOA of travel per turret rotation. The side-focus system helps refine the target image and address parallax at extended distances; published specifications list a focus range beginning at approximately 45 yards and extending to infinity.

Eye relief ranges from approximately 3.7 to 3.9 inches, depending on magnification. The diopter offers a plus-or-minus-two adjustment range so the reticle can be focused to the shooter’s eye. As with any riflescope, proper ring height, spacing, torque, and eye-relief setup are important for a full sight picture and comfortable shooting position.

Field-Ready Construction

The one-piece 30mm maintube provides a solid mounting platform and room for the scope’s adjustment system. At approximately 22.8 ounces and 11.9 inches long, the WHISKEY6 is sized for rifles that need useful magnification without an excessively long optic. The black exterior provides a subdued, conventional finish that pairs easily with common rifle and mount configurations.

Argon purging supports fog-resistant internal performance, and the scope carries an IPX7 waterproof rating for immersion to one meter under specified test conditions. These protections are valuable when a rifle may encounter rain, rapid temperature changes, dust, or the normal handling demands of field use. They do not replace proper lens caps, careful transport, or routine inspection of mounts and fasteners.

Choosing the Correct Configuration

WHISKEY6 scopes are offered in several reticle and focal-plane arrangements. SOW63113 is specifically the second-focal-plane, non-illuminated Quadplex version. Buyers seeking a first-focal-plane reticle, an illuminated aiming point, or a different milling reticle should select the corresponding model rather than assuming those features are included here. Rings are not included; choose quality 30mm rings that match the rifle’s base and provide suitable objective clearance.
