Hawke Optics has expanded its Sidewinder line of riflescopes with first focal plane (FFP) models, graduated in MOA. Built around a 30mm main tube, these new scopes sport H5 optics  for a wide, 24-degree field of view. Low-dispersion Crown glass has 18-layer multi-coated optics for increased light transmission and clarity. Finally, four inches of eye relief allow for rapid target acquisition. 

Those MOA models fitted with FFP lenses will also boast resettable, precision locking turrets with 1/4 MOA clicks, and a Witness Window that provides instant visual confirmation of your turret position. You can sharpen up your sights with the index-matched, removeable side wheel focus adjustment, and keep your eye on the target while adjusting the zoom with the removeable, magnification throw lever. The reticle is illuminated with high-intensity, adjustable Multi-LED lighting. Tune things in with the fast-focus eye bell that has a lock ring to ensure things stay just as you like them. 

For more information on both the new Sidewinder 4X–16X-50mm or 6X-24X-56mm, check out hawkeoptics.com.
