Hawke Optics has unveiled more reticle options for the Frontier 30 FD riflescopes. The Frontier 30 FD L4A and Frontier 30 FD LRX scopes, both in fast handling 1-8x24mm, get shooters on target quickly, making them great options for hunters.

For accuracy and visibility in every lighting condition, the Frontier 30 FD scopes feature a red-illuminated dot-reticle with Auto Illumination Mode (A.I.M.) to help extend battery life. A.I.M. turns off the illumination if no movement is detected after two minutes, helping reduce battery drain. There are six brightness levels for every condition, including true daylight brightness. The ½-MOA Fingertip Turrets make dialing in zero easy.

The Frontier FD 1-8x24mm L4A and LRX riflescopes feature two reticle options. The L4A FD reticle provides a clean and uninterrupted view of your target with thick side posts. The LRX - Tactical FD (8x) reticle adds distance hash marks for holdover on popular rounds like the 5.56, making longer distance shots easier during fast shooting occasions. It also features two MOA windage markers.

These scopes are built on a one-piece, machined aluminum 30mm main tube and Hawke’s H7 optics that use index-matched lenses with 21 layers of coatings for the clarity. The fixed-parallax scopes also have four inches of eye relief and a fast-focus eye-bell. Each comes with an easy-to-use zoom lever that is removable to set the scope up however is desired, a reticle battery, Hawke’s Professional Flip-Up lens covers, and a lens cloth. Each scope is fully water-, shock-, and fog-proof, as well as nitrogen purged. T

he Hawke Frontier 30 FD L4A and LRX scopes are backed by Hawke’s No-Fault Lifetime Warranty. Learn more at hawkeoptics.com.
