DESCRIPTION

The Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 6.5-20x44 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.

Compact, reliable, and performance-driven, the Hawke Sidewinder 6.5-20x44 with 20x Half Mil reticle is backed by the Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty, ensuring total peace of mind for serious shooters.

RETICLE

20× Half Mil Reticle:

Accurate mil spacing on 20× magnification. With half mil spaced markings out beyond 5 mil in all directions, the 20× Half Mil is a versatile reticle that provides aim points no matter how extreme the conditions.

A series of crosses etched on the lower section of the reticle make for extra windage aim points and act to give an easy quick-glance method of counting which mil spacing you’re aiming with. Outer posts are segmented into half mil spacing and 0.2 mil spacings, so can be used for bracketing and rangefinding.
