The Sig Sauer Buckmasters 3-12x44mm delivers precision optics engineered for hunters demanding reliable performance across varied terrain and lighting conditions. This variable power scope combines proven magnification range with an illuminated Hellfire Buckmasters BDC reticle for accurate holdover calculations at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
Built on a robust 1-inch tube construction, this scope features Sig Sauer's proprietary Hellfire illumination system that provides 11 brightness settings for optimal reticle visibility in any environment. The Buckmasters BDC reticle eliminates guesswork for bullet drop compensation, with holdover points calibrated for common hunting cartridges. European-style fast-focus eyepiece allows rapid target acquisition while maintaining edge-to-edge clarity across the entire field of view.
Key Features
- 3-12x variable magnification with 44mm objective lens for versatile ranging capability
- Illuminated Hellfire Buckmasters BDC reticle with 11 brightness settings including off positions
- 1-inch diameter tube construction with precision-machined aluminum housing

Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking performance with 1/4 MOA click adjustments for windage and elevation. The scope maintains zero retention through temperature fluctuations and recoil stress from magnum cartridges. Low-light performance excels during dawn and dusk hunting periods when game activity peaks. The BDC reticle system proves effective for shots ranging from 100 to 500 yards with proper ballistic matching.
