The Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 6-24x56 20x Half Mil Dot IR reticle rifle scope is built for serious long-range precision. I like the powerful 6-24x magnification range combined with the large 56mm objective lens, delivering exceptional brightness and edge-to-edge clarity. The 20x calibrated Half Mil Dot IR reticle provides accurate holdover references for distance shooting, while the side focus ensures razor-sharp parallax correction. This is an outstanding Hawke long-range rifle scope for target shooters who demand maximum accuracy and optical performance. - George

20× Half Mil Reticle:
Accurate mil spacing on 20× magnification. With half mil spaced markings out beyond 5 mils 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 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.
