Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 4.5-14x44 10x Half Mil IR Reticle 30mm Rifle Scope
The Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 4.5-14x44 10x Half Mil IR rifle scope is one of my go-to optics for precision air rifle and rimfire shooting. I love the versatile 4.5-14x magnification range, which gives me a wide field of view for closer targets while still delivering crisp precision at longer distances. The 30mm tube provides generous elevation adjustment, and the Half Mil IR reticle offers precise holdover and windage correction. With side focus (SF) parallax adjustment and illuminated reticle options, this Hawke Sidewinder scope performs brilliantly in changing light conditions, making it a superb choice for hunting, HFT, and target shooting. - George

10× Half Mil Reticle:
Accurate mil spacing on 10× magnification. With half mil spaced markings out beyond 5 miles in all directions, the 10× 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.
