The Sig Sauer Buckmasters 3-12x44mm riflescope delivers precision optics engineered for hunters who demand reliable performance across varying distances. This variable power scope combines Sig Sauer's proven optical technology with practical features that enhance accuracy from close-range shots to extended hunting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The Buckmasters series stands apart from entry-level hunting scopes through its multi-coated lens system that maximizes light transmission in low-light conditions. The 44mm objective lens gathers 30% more light than standard 40mm alternatives, extending effective shooting hours during dawn and dusk periods. The proprietary BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator) reticle eliminates guesswork for holdover calculations at extended ranges.
Key Features
- Variable 3-12x magnification range covers close brush shots to 400+ yard precision
- 44mm objective lens with multi-coated optics for superior light gathering
- BDC reticle system calibrated for common hunting cartridges and bullet weights
- 1-inch tube diameter fits standard ring mounts on most hunting rifles
- Black anodized aluminum construction resists corrosion and field wear
- Nitrogen-purged tube prevents internal fogging in temperature changes
- Fast-focus eyepiece allows quick diopter adjustment for individual vision
Field performance centers on consistent tracking and repeatable adjustments across the magnification range. The scope maintains zero through recoil cycles from magnum cartridges while delivering clear target resolution at maximum power settings. Waterproof sealing protects internal components during rain or snow conditions common in hunting environments.
