Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 4-16x50 Riflescope
The Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 4–16x50 is a must-have, high-performance multi-discipline riflescope that blends crisp H5 optics with rock-solid, repeatable mechanics. Built around a 30 mm mono-tube chassis with a generous 100 mm of eye relief and an ultra-wide 24° field of view, it gives you a bright, forgiving sight picture that stays comfortable over long sessions. Parallax-free shooting from 9 m to infinity is assisted by the removable, index-matched rangefinding side wheel so you can lock focus precisely at any distance, from close-range zeroing to extended-range steel.

Sidewinder is engineered to make precision intuitive. The exposed, locking turrets give you positive, repeatable 0.1 MRAD adjustments with a clean, audible feel. Once zeroed, simply reset the scales and lock the turrets to prevent accidental movement when stalking, changing positions, or moving between stages. The witness window gives an instant visual cue of your elevation position—perfect for returning to a known zero or confirming a dialled solution at a glance.
Optically, the H5 system delivers. Low-dispersion Crown glass and an 18-layer coating stack provide excellent resolution, contrast and colour fidelity across the zoom range. The 50 mm objective gathers ample light without adding excess bulk, while the high-volume eyebox and 100 mm eye relief promote a relaxed head position for fast target acquisition. Six levels of red illumination—with off detents between settings—let you fine-tune reticle brightness from bright midday sun to shadowed woodland.
The 10x Half Mil reticle sits in the second focal plane and is calibrated at 10×, so its subtensions match the published values precisely at that power. That makes mapping your holdovers, wind holds and ranging a straightforward exercise; at lower or higher magnifications the design remains clean and readable for scanning, tracking and practical field shooting. Parallax is handled via a smooth side-focus dial that adjusts from 10 yds / 9 m to infinity; fit the removable, index-matched side wheel when you want even finer control with gloved hands.
Built to thrive outdoors, the single-piece 30 mm mono-tube chassis resists flex and keeps your zero true under recoil. Internal components are nitrogen purged and fully sealed against moisture and thermal shock for confidence in rain, fog and temperature swings. Add the removable throw lever, locking fast-focus ocular and deeply knurled controls, and you get a scope that feels deliberate and precise in every interaction.
From rimfire precision to centrefire hunting and club PRS-style stages, the Sidewinder 30 SF 4–16x50 offers clarity, control and durability in a balanced, field-ready package. Add to cart today and step into the Sidewinder standard—designed to make good decisions and better hits routine.
RETICLE - 10x Half Mil Reticle
Accurate mil spacing on 10x magnification. With half mil spaced markings out beyond 5 mil in all directions.
10x Half Mil Dot spacing on the lower post provides aim points no matter how extreme the conditions.
Outer posts are segmented into half mil spacing and 02 mil spacings, so can be used for bracketing and rangefinding.
