Thursday, May 1st, 2025

SIG offered visitors to the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta and Modern Day Marine in Washington, DC a sneak peek at the OSCAR6 HDX PRO, an upcoming stabilized spotting scope.

A product sheet explains the technology behind the optic.

SIG’s Next Generation OmniScanTM OIS technology enhances image stabilization using a digital accelerometer to optimize the level of stabilization applied based off your movement and vibration.

It offers 16-32x magnification along with a 60mm objective lens and is 11.5″ long and weighs just over 55 oz.

The OSCAR6 HDX PRO is powered by 2 x AA batteries and offers up to 50 hours of use. You’ll also find an integrated ARCA rail base and IPX-7 waterproof and anti-fog ratings.

Look for the OSCAR6 HDX PRO along with several other new optics items during this summer’s SIGNext event in June.
