Hawke Sidewinder 30 4-16x50 FFP Half Mil IR 30mm Rifle Scope
The Hawke Sidewinder 30 4-16x50 FFP Half Mil IR rifle scope is ideal for shooters who prefer first focal plane accuracy. I like that the Half Mil IR reticle scales with magnification, ensuring holdover subtensions remain accurate at every zoom level. The 4-16x magnification range offers flexibility for hunting and target shooting alike, while the 50mm objective lens provides excellent brightness. Built with a durable 30mm tube and precise side focus adjustment, this Hawke FFP rifle scope delivers reliable performance and tactical precision. - George

FFP Half Mil Reticle:
The FFP Half Mil reticle was developed specifically for the first focal plane optical systems and based around the common principles of mil spaced reticles. With half mil spaced markings out beyond 5 mils in all directions, the FFP 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 Aimpoint 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.
