Overview
Sig Sauer's WHISKEY4 4-16x44mm SOW44002 is a first focal plane rifle scope on a 30mm tube, weighing 24.7 oz and running its illuminated MOA Milling Hunter 2.0 reticle off a single CR2032 battery. Built for hunters who want holdover accuracy at any zoom level.
Because the reticle sits in the front focal plane, its MOA subtensions stay true whether you're at 4x or 16x, so holdover and windage marks don't need power ring math. The LockDown Zero System locks the elevation turret at true zero after you dial for a shot, and one buyer who cross-shopped it against Arken and Vector Tauron scopes found it lighter than both, though with more edge distortion.
- First focal plane MOA Milling Hunter 2.0 reticle
- Argon-purged, waterproof to IPX6 and fogproof
- 30mm tube with 0.25 MOA click adjustments
- LockDown Zero System locks turret at true zero
Who it's for
Hunters and long-range shooters who want a front focal plane scope with an illuminated reticle and a turret that locks back to zero after elevation adjustments. Less suited to shooters who prioritize edge-to-edge glass clarity above all else.
Pros and cons
- FFP reticle keeps holdover accurate across the full zoom
- Elevation turret locks back to true zero
- Flip-back lens caps and throw lever included
- Daylight-bright illuminated reticle per owner comparison
- Edge distortion more noticeable than some rivals per reviewer
- Parallax doesn't focus below 50 yards
Performance notes
The front focal plane design keeps the MOA Milling Hunter 2.0 reticle's subtensions accurate at every magnification from 4x to 16x, so holdovers don't shift as you zoom. Argon gas purging handles the fogproofing and IPX6 waterproofing, while the removable throw lever speeds up power changes in the field. Elevation adjustments run 0.25 MOA per click, and the LockDown Zero System physically stops and locks the turret at zero once you return from a dialed shot.
