Hawke FFP 2 8X36 HR

Hawke Optics introduces the groundbreaking XB30 Zoom FFP 2-8x36mm—its first crossbow scope featuring a first focal plane (FFP) reticle. This innovation ensures consistent reticle accuracy across the entire magnification range, making it a game-changer for precision and reliability in crossbow shooting.

Equipped with Hawke’s premium S7 optical system, the XB30 Zoom FFP delivers unparalleled clarity, accuracy and dependability. Its 2-8x magnification allows shooters to zoom out for bright, close-range visibility or zoom in for pinpoint accuracy at longer distances. The FFP reticle maintains precise yardage holdovers regardless of magnification, a significant advantage for crossbow enthusiasts.

The XB30 Zoom FFP reticles are designed to match the ballistics of crossbows with speeds ranging from 380-510 fps. Choose from three reticle options tailored to your crossbow’s speed:

  • 380–420 fps
  • 425–465 fps
  • 470–510 fps

Each reticle features illuminated central aim points and engraved distance markers for seamless accuracy at any range. The horseshoe-shaped design ensures fast target acquisition and selectable red or green illumination with multiple brightness settings, which enhances performance in low-light conditions.

The XB30 Zoom FFP 2-8x36mm is crafted with a rugged 30mm monotube chassis, offering durability and performance in the field. Features include:

  • ½ MOA low-profile, fingertip-adjustable turrets.
  • Fixed 50-yard parallax for optimized precision.
  • 16-layer, fully multi-coated lenses for crystal-clear views.
  • Removable zoom throw levers (standard and XL options).
  • Flip-up lens covers for added protection.

Nitrogen-purged, shockproof, waterproof, and fogproof, the XB30 Zoom FFP is built to endure the most challenging conditions and is backed by Hawke’s Lifetime Warranty. Discover the XB30 Zoom FFP 2-8x36mm at hawkeoptics.com.
