WTT - Sig Sauer Whiskey 5 (5-25x52) for light mountain rifle

[SilverbulletMAG]

Picked this scope up last year for a 300 RUM and am extremely impressed with it! Scope has been mounted and taken on 1 hunt but looks like new. ALPHA Tactical rings are included if wanted (they are really tall....better for AR platforms) and have been lapped already. The custom turret card has not been used and would go with the scope as well (free mail in for a custom turret matched to a particular round).

I landed a good deal on an Eliminator III scope (I know...it's like cheating) that I'm going to try out this year and figured I'd throw this out there and see if anyone is looking to trade, or trade plus cash on something. Too nice of a scope to be sitting in the box!

Only thing really missing in my safe at the moment is a light weight mountain rifle. Been lugging around 10+lb (loaded) rifles and that's not fun anymore. Not looking for a specific caliber other than something I can take elk hunting and prefer 7mm mag or .308 at a minimum. Lefty is a plus but not a big deal. Looking for something in the lightweight Kimber line or something similar in style/weight.

If anyone has something like that and would be interested in trading, please let me know. Current pics are pretty crappy but that's all I have on me at the moment. Can provide better, higher resolution pictures upon request.

Whats the glass compare to? Havent looked much at sig

After reading this review and a few others, I decided I wanted to give this glass a try and it's every bit as good as they say it is. If you haven't seen this article on the site, it's worth a look if you're interested - https://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/sig-sauer-whiskey5-5-25x52-riflescope-review.1194/

Subjective however, it was touted as a top 3 scope for 2018. One example from "Scope List" and in good company with Nightforce and Vortex PST - https://blog.scopelist.com/top-3-best-long-range-hunting-scopes-to-buy-in-2018/

I don't have a lot of high end glass to directly compare it too but it's the nicest glass I've ever been behind. (have some Monarch 5's, 7's, Leupold VX3 and VX5HD line, etc.) For comparison, the glass on the Burris Eliminator 3 is garbage compared to this. My only interest in the Burris is the electronic wizardry and auto bullet drop compensation...

Throwing this up one last time before I end up grabbing a Mountain Ascent on sale and keeping the scope.

Tikka T3 Superlight 30-06?

Are those 1:11 twist? If it's 1:10 I'd consider.

Looks to be 1:11
