Reviews & Ratings for SIG SAUER Whiskey5 10x42mm Rifle Scope 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane — 7 reviews — Page 1

I was a little hesitant at first but thought I'd give this a try. I have a Ravin crossbow with over 400 fps. I did upgrade all firmware (and made sure all units had full power since after reading these reviews I do not want to power down anything while updating) Gotta go into some sub menu in App but I entered FPS and Bolt weight. Set up the targets on my 5 acres and WOW. Very impressed with the hold overs. All of this took a little time and techy know how which is why I'm giving it a 4 star instead of 5.

Decent enough scope and rangefinder combo but I prefer the 4.5-14 because of the parallax adjustment (this says it has it, it doesn't), and the Kilo1000 has a better battery cap and lanyard than the 1400. Nitpicky, I know. This scope is going on a T3X in .308 and will be perfect for deer up to 500 yards easily. For the price, hard to beat!

Hi all, This is an update to the review I did awhile back. I encountered some trouble on this Sig range finder /scope combo the last time I first purchased this scope. Since then i have sent the scope in for repair of the illumination knob that was very hard to turn, about July of 2020, but it came back without repair. The repair shop said the turrents were fine and operating properly. I did not say the turrents were the trouble or that they needed repair, just the side illumination knob. They got it wrong even with me including a note inside the box explaining the problem. I was mad they didn't do anything to fix the problem.
Well now I have a separate problem and it is a bad one, the o-ring that holds the system pressure and keep the elements out of the scope is protruding out of the objective lens. It is sticking out and is obviously making the system vulnerable to moisture getting in and messing things up. I have contacted Sig for a third round of repairs and hope they can finally fix this bad scope. I suppose the scope is not meant to be mounted on a high recoil rifle because i have had other low quality scopes fail on my 300 Weatherby in the past, Bushnell, Weaver, and Nikon so I don't buy them anymore. I thought the Sig brand would be different but I guess not.
So this update is to warn other potential buyers that Sig scopes are not the best and failures do occur. When I get the scope back from the repair shop I am going to sell it and buy something better, as in Le...

I experienced the exact same failure as described in this previous review. My 1800 BDX went dead and I believe it was trying to update software when the failure occurred. I was unable to turn it on or use it at all. Unfortunately this was my day hunting.

As I read a review of someone doing a firmware upgrade and have a problem it was not allowed to finish the system tells you to not power down while in update mine was not a problem took a few minutes to update but worked great all firmware updates on all devices tells you not to power the unit down or it will render useless glad to see they have great service and support. .
