This rugged sight offers a field of view of 28.8ft at 100 yards (5.5°), with 2.8 inches of eye relief, and a fixed parallax at 100 yards for precision shooting.
It includes 10-stage digital red illumination, shake awake technology, auto shut-off, and exposed 1 MOA click turrets.

What is a 5.56 BDC reticle?
It’s a reticle with built-in holdover marks designed to match typical bullet drop. This allows you to aim accurately at different distances without adjusting turrets.
Do I need a specific calibre to use this?
No. While calibrated around common profiles, it can be used across different setups by learning where your impacts fall.
Does the reticle work without illumination?
Yes. It is etched into the glass, so it remains visible in black even without power.
Is this better than a red dot?
Depends on use:
- Red dot = faster at very close range
- This = more precise at distance due to magnification and BDC reticle
What distances is this best suited for?
Short to medium range where you want more clarity and defined aiming points than a 1x optic.
Will it fit my rifle?
Fits standard Picatinny and Weaver rails with supplied mounts.
What does Micro T-2 compatibility allow?
It lets you change mounts easily to suit your setup - including different heights and quick detach systems.
Is it suitable for air rifles?
Yes - particularly useful where a fixed magnification with clear reticle is preferred over a variable scope.
Does it have parallax adjustment?
No - it is fixed (set around 100 yards), keeping the design simple and robust.
How is this different from a traditional scope?
- Smaller and lighter
- Fixed magnification
- Faster to use
- Simpler setup
- Hawke Optics 2 year warranty
