Description
The Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 6.5-20×44 20x Half Mil IR rifle scope stands out for shooters who demand extra magnification and precision. I particularly like the extended 6.5-20x zoom range, ideal for longer-range airgun and centrefire shooting. The 20x Half Mil IR reticle ensures accurate subtension at higher magnification, delivering consistent holdover marks for repeatable accuracy. Combined with a 30mm mono-tube chassis, exposed target turrets, and smooth side parallax adjustment, this Hawke rifle scope offers reliability, clarity, and tactical precision in one premium package. – George
The Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 6.5-20×44 20x Half Mil IR Rifle Scope is a precision-engineered optic designed for versatility and long-range accuracy. Built on a robust 30mm mono-tube chassis, this scope is fully shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof, with nitrogen purging to ensure consistent performance in all conditions. Suitable for all calibres, it’s a dependable choice for shooters who demand clarity, control, and durability.
Equipped with Hawke’s advanced H5 optical system, it delivers a crisp, wide image through high-grade, low dispersion Crown glass and 18-layer fully multi-coated lenses. The scope offers a generous 24° ultra-wide field of view, ranging from 19.5 to 6.3 feet at 100 yards, with a 100mm eye relief that enhances comfort and shooting confidence.
The 20x Half Mil reticle, designed for precision at 20x magnification, features half mil spaced markings beyond 5 mil in all directions, with additional crosses for windage hold and segmented outer posts for accurate bracketing and rangefinding. The multi-LED illuminated reticle has six brightness levels controlled via a stepped rheostat, with off positions in between for quick adjustments in varying light.
To ensure precise and repeatable adjustments, the scope includes resettable locking turrets with 1/10 MRAD click values and a witness window for clear visual reference. The side focus parallax adjustment delivers parallax-free performance from 9 metres to infinity, enhanced by a removable, index-matched side wheel for fine tuning. Additional features include a removable zoom throw lever and a fast-focus eyebell with lock ring for quick target acquisition.
