G’day all,

Have any of you guys looked through these new Sig Sauer Whisky 5 scopes?

From doing a bit of research they seem to be the goods.

But I was just wondering does anyone have any hands on experience with them before I pull the trigger on it for my 22-250 set up.

A good review on it: https://www.longrangehunting.com/articl ... view.1218/

Okay whilst it's not a whiskey 5 I did run my eye over them when I got this.
Glass is reasonable. Not a Zeiss conquest. Notice it when you look into a shadow. I couldn't try the 5 under lights but I feel it would be like Leopold not a Zeiss.
Focus/diopter is easy to adjust.
Turrets, hmmm. Not to my taste.
My 3 does track but movement is not exactly 0.250 moa but it does return to zero from where it was taken.
The 5 is obviously a higher model.
It would need to be a really good buy for me to take it over a Zeiss Conquest.
To my eyes the glass isn't quite there.
You may find it different, younger eyes and all.
Cheers

Thanks mate a

Thanks for your feedback,
So you’re go the HD5 over the Whisky 5 if they were the same price?

I would Keith. Good glass and known to be solid internals.
The Sigs are probably good but as I said the glass in the Zeiss is better to my eyes.
There seems to be a slight hue in the Sig,which makes me feel in low light and under a spot it may not be as clear.

Tempting but I am after the 3-15x range. Cleavers has 3-15x50mm with locking turrets for $1025

Still so torn between the SIG and the Zeiss.

Go the sig and do us a review.
You can always move it on if your not happy in the field.

I have 5-25. X50 and paid $975 brand new. Tell old mate he’s dreaming.

Keith I think Macca has come up with a good idea. Looking forward to the review

Hi Trev, who did you get yours through?
Cheers

The shop in Tullamarine. The name temporary eludes me.
It was on special but I’ve seen those specials come up at other places from time to time
