SIG Sauer is pushing optics to new heights at NRA 2025 with the debut of the Oscar6 HDX PRO, a next-generation image-stabilized spotting scope that’s tailor-made for hunters, precision shooters, and professionals demanding rock-solid visuals—no tripod required.
We stopped by the SIG Sauer booth to check it out in person, and it didn’t disappoint. At first glance, the Oscar6 HDX PRO looks like your average premium spotting scope, but a flip of the switch reveals its party trick: advanced image stabilization borrowed from the latest generation of SIG’s popular Zulu6 binoculars.
What Makes It Special?
This straight-eyepiece optic offers 16–32x magnification and houses SIG’s OmniScan OIS stabilization system. Built around a digital accelerometer, it actively counters motion from wind, shaky hands, or field conditions, keeping your image locked in as if it were on a tripod—even at full 32x zoom.
Inside, the HDX PRO glass system delivers exceptional light transmission and clarity. The redesigned ED glass and advanced prism coatings cut glare and boost sharpness across the entire power range.
Rugged and Smart
SIG packed the Oscar6 with field-ready features:
- Integrated ARCA-SWISS plate and ¼-20 thread for tripod mounting
- Detachable eyepiece for future adaptability
- IPX-7 waterproof/fogproof
- 50-hour runtime on two standard AA batteries
Hands-On Impressions
Using it at 32x handheld was surprisingly stable—far beyond what you’d expect from any optic this size. Whether you’re glassing distant targets in gusty wind or just tired of lugging heavy tripods, this scope offers a new level of freedom.
Final Thoughts
The Oscar6 HDX PRO retails for $1,999 and it might just be worth every penny for shooters or hunters wanting a clear, stable view without extra gear. If you’ve used the Zulu6 binos and loved them, this takes it up a notch.
SIG’s definitely onto something here. Stay tuned for our full review, and let us know—would you ditch your tripod for image-stabilized glass?
