Hawke Sidewinder 30 FFP 6-24x56 Riflescope
The Hawke Sidewinder 30 FFP 6–24x56 Riflescope is built for shooters who demand precision, consistency, and confidence across disciplines. At the heart of the system is Hawke’s H5 optical platform, delivering a stunning 24° ultra-wide field of view and a generous 100 mm of eye relief. Whether you’re dialing for distance on steel, refining groups at the range, or managing holdovers in the field, this Sidewinder couples first-focal-plane accuracy with repeatable, hard-use mechanics to keep you on target.

True FFP performance means the Half Mil reticle scales with magnification, so your holdovers, wind holds, and ranging marks remain accurate from 6× to 24×. No mental gymnastics, no re-charting—just consistent, intuitive references that let you focus on the shot. The reticle’s multi-LED illumination offers six carefully stepped intensities with off detents between settings, so you can return to your preferred brightness instantly without overshooting the mark.
Tracking and repeatability are the hallmarks of the Sidewinder turret system. Each 0.1 MRAD click is positive and precise, while the locking feature prevents accidental movement when you’re crawling a hillside or transitioning barricades. The witness window provides a fast visual reference of your elevation position at a glance—especially helpful when running multiple dope cards or returning to a known zero under time pressure.
Optically, the H5 system shines. The combination of high-grade, low-dispersion Crown glass and 18-layer fully multi-coated lenses yields crisp resolution, strong contrast, and faithful colour across the magnification range. The large 56 mm objective collects the light you need for low-sun starts and shaded lanes, while the high-volume eyebox and 100 mm eye relief deliver a relaxed, forgiving view that’s comfortable over long sessions and accommodating of varied shooting positions.
Parallax is managed via a smooth side-focus dial that adjusts from 10 yards (9 m) to infinity, enabling razor-sharp targets for everything from close-range zeroing to extended-range engagements. For even finer control, fit the removable, index-matched side wheel to make micro-adjustments with gloved hands or in dynamic environments. The removable zoom throw lever likewise speeds magnification changes without breaking your position.
Durability comes standard. The single-piece 30 mm mono-tube chassis resists flex and holds zero under recoil; the internals are nitrogen purged and sealed to keep moisture and fog at bay in shifting weather. Add the locking fast-focus eyepiece and knurled posi-grip controls, and you’ve got a scope that feels as deliberate as it performs.
From precision rimfire to centrefire PRS-style matches and long-range hunting, the Sidewinder 30 FFP 6–24x56 offers a refined blend of features and reliability that elevates every shot. Mount it, map it, and trust it—the Sidewinder is built to help you make good decisions and better hits.
