Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 4.5-14x44 Riflescope
Hawke Sidewinder 30 SF 4.5-14x44 Riflescope is a high performance, multi-discipline scope designed to deliver clarity, control, and confidence at a wide range of distances. Built around Hawke’s H5 optical system, it offers a 24° ultra-wide field of view and generous 100 mm eye relief for a bright, forgiving sight picture. Parallax-free shooting from 9 metres to infinity is assisted by the index-matched rangefinding side wheel, which can be removed when you want a slimmer profile.

The 4.5-14x magnification range strikes a practical balance between field awareness and fine aiming. At the low end you get a wide view for quick target acquisition and tracking; at higher powers you can confirm detail, read mirage, and refine holds without carrying excess size or weight. The 44 mm objective gathers ample light while keeping the scope compact for versatile mounting on hunting rifles and target setups alike.
Turret design focuses on repeatability and ease of use. Positive 0.1 MRAD clicks make dialing intuitive, the scales reset cleanly after zeroing, and the locking function helps prevent accidental movement during transport or positional shooting. The witness window provides an instant visual reference to elevation position so you can confirm dialled dope at a glance or return to a known zero with confidence.
The 10x Half Mil reticle provides a clean, intuitive layout for holdovers and wind calls. Because it is calibrated at 10x in the second focal plane, subtensions match the published values exactly at that power, making it simple to build and trust your dope card. At other magnifications the reticle remains uncluttered and easy to read for scanning and practical field shooting. Six illumination levels with off detents between steps let you set a precise brightness for low-light backgrounds without overshooting your preferred setting.
Side Focus parallax adjustment runs from 10 yards (9 metres) to infinity, letting you fine-tune image and point of impact for everything from close-range zeroing to extended-range engagements. Fit the removable, index-matched side wheel for glove-friendly micro-adjustments when mirage is dancing or targets are small. Knurled controls and the removable throw lever deliver sure handling in wet or cold conditions.
Built for the outdoors, the single-piece 30 mm chassis resists flex and maintains zero under recoil. The optical system uses Crown low-dispersion glass and an 18-layer coating stack for crisp resolution, strong contrast and consistent colour across the zoom range. Internals are nitrogen purged and sealed to resist water ingress and internal fogging through temperature swings. From woodland stalking to club matches, this Sidewinder configuration brings together dependable mechanics and clear glass in a field-ready package. Add to cart today and make precise, repeatable shots part of your routine.
