Sig Sauer Tango4 4-16x 44mm - Rifleman's Optics

SIG Sauer’s new line of TANGO4 scopes designed for AR-type rifles are made for mid- to longrange shooting and hunting, according to SIG. TANGO4 scopes include 1-4x 24mm, 3-12x 42mm and 4-16x 44mm options.

The scopes include features such as a 4:1 magnification zoom ratio, LockDown Zero System turrets and the choice of several motion-activated, illuminated reticles in the first focal plane.

I chose big and mounted a TANGO4 4-16x 44mm on a Colt LE-901 .308 Winchester. The Colt is a battle-ax of a rifle, emitting a braying muzzle blast from its 16inch barrel as its bolt slams back and forth like a dungeon door while emptying a 20-round magazine. But once the scope was sighted in, it never wandered an inch from zero after shooting about 150 cartridges.

Two reticles are available for TANGO4 1-4x and 3-12x scopes. One is a Horseshoe Dot with bars spaced on the lower vertical wire to match trajectories of the 5.56 and 7.62 NATO cartridges or .300 Blackout. A second reticle contains hash marks on the vertical and horizontal wires spaced in milliradian (MILS) or minute of angle (MOA) units.
