Sig Sauer SOBM43002 Buckmasters 3-12x44mm SFP Hellfire Illum BDC 0.25 MOA Adj Black Riflescope

The Sig Sauer Buckmasters 3-12×44 mm SFP Hellfire Illuminated BDC Riflescope SOBM43002 is a budget-friendly hunting scope designed for close to medium-range shooting. Sig Sauer SOBM43002 features a magnification range of 3–12×, equipped with a 44 mm objective lens and a 1-inch main tube. The scope features a Hellfire Buckmasters BDC reticle that is illuminated with six brightness levels and is on the second focal plane, so the reticle size remains constant as you zoom. Adjustments for windage and elevation are in ¼ MOA increments, with a total elevation travel of approximately 60 MOA. Eye relief ranges from about 98 mm at maximum magnification to 106 mm at minimum, and the field of view at 100 yards spans roughly 34.9 ft at 3× to 8.7 ft at 12×. The Sig Sauer Buckmasters Riflescope weighs around 14.9 ounces, is approximately 12.4 inches long, and is powered by a CR2032 battery for the illuminated reticle. It is built to be waterproof, shock-proof, and fog-proof, making it suitable for rugged field use.

The scope’s strengths include its versatility in magnification for different shooting distances, the illuminated reticle for low-light conditions, and its durable construction. The BDC reticle has holdover dots that allow for estimating bullet drop out to around 500 yards. Limitations include the lack of parallax adjustment, a second focal plane design, which means BDC dots do not scale with magnification, and optical clarity that may not match premium scopes at high zoom. Users generally find it a solid, reliable, and cost-effective scope for hunting or general-purpose shooting.
