Firstly, the TANG06T utilizes a second focal plane and an anodized aircraft grade aluminum tube in Flat Dark Earth. Also, the riflescope features an M855A1 Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) illuminated reticles. Additionally, the reticle delivers holds for CQB to medium engagements and an ultra-bright red Hellfire fiber optic illumination system. The system provides fast daylight target acquisition, a locking illumination dial, throw lever and a laser-marked scope level indicator.

SIG designed the ALPHA4 Ultralight Mount specifically to use with the TANGO6T riflescope. Also, the mount fits standard MIL-STD-1913 rails. Moreover, SIG machines the ALPHA4 from 7075 aluminum and hardocoat anodizes the riflescope. SIG claims the resulting mount is both lightweight and rugged.

The five-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity, firm-fixed-price contract runs through July 2023. SIG plans to build all units in its Wilsonville, Oregon facility.
