A good choice for moderate-range shooting in lower light conditions, the Hawke Sport Optics 6.5-20x44 Sidewinder 30 SF Riflescope is a versatile optic for the field and the range. It delivers a bright sight picture thanks to its generous objective lens, aided by 18 layers of anti-reflection lens coatings that minimize glare and maximize light transmission. The high-intensity, multi-LED red 20x half mil reticle offers six brightness levels with off positions in between. Zooming is quick and effortless with the knurled posi-grip ring and removable throw lever, and 4" of eye relief provide safety when using high-caliber rounds.

The exposed locking turrets adjust impact point at 1/10 MRAD per click with a total range of 28 MRAD for elevation and windage. The one-piece 30mm aluminum maintube is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof. A 4" screw-on sun shade is included to reduce glare and increase image quality and a 4" removable side adjustment wheel can be installed on the parallax turret for precise adjustments and ranging.
