3-18x44 Mountain Hunter with System H5 Optics and Fiber Optic Reticle

Hawke® Optics, a global leader in high-performance sporting optics, proudly announces that its Endurance 30 FD 3-18x44 Mountain Hunter Rifle Scope made Outdoor Life’s 10 Best Rifle Scopes for Hunting list in the Best Lightweight Hunting Rifle Scope category. This recognition strengthens Hawke’s reputation for optics that blend amazing clarity, performance, and premium features.

“The 3-18×44 Mountain Hunter is one of the lightest scopes in our test, and with side focus, center-dot illumination, and a versatile hash-style reticle in the second focal plane, this scope will do everything the Swarovski Z5i will do at a third the price, or less than half the price of Leupold’s VX-5HD Gen 2, which has similar attributes,” Outdoor Life Optics Editor Andrew McKean notes in the article.

The wide-angle Endurance 30 3-28x44 FD scope is built with a one-piece, machined, high-grade aluminum 30mm main tube. It uses their legendary H5 optics with index-matched lenses with 18 layers of advanced coatings and the finest components for a crystal-clear view of your target. The scope has a push-button illuminated, digital fiber-optic reticle with six brightness levels, and Hawke’s power stand-by and motion-activated illumination.

“The controls are mannerly, from the tight locking pull-to-turn elevation dial to the capped windage dial and the smooth and precise side focus, which sharpens targets from 15 yards all the way out to infinity,” McKean also notes. “The push-button illumination, with 11 intensity steps, is especially noteworthy. Similar to Leupold’s FireDot illumination system, the dot fires up with a push of the left-side switch and ramps up and down in intensity from daylight bright to just visible for twilight hunting. It’s a system that’s hard to find on scopes priced under $1,000.”

The 3-18x44 SF Mountain Hunter model uses Hawke’s LRX Hunter FD reticle that has extended holdover and windage marks along with the bright fiber-optic illumination for shots taken on game at any range out to some extreme distances. It has a generous four inches of eye relief and a locking ocular focus, and Hawke’s high-torque zoom ring with removable throw lever. Also included are a sunshade, reticle battery, Hawke lens covers, and a lens cloth. Each of these scopes is fully water, shock, and fog proof and nitrogen purged, making it durable, clear, and maintenance-free - exactly what you demand in a high-performance hunting optic.

The award-winning Endurance 30 FD 3-18x44 Mountain Hunter rifle scope comes standard with Hawke’s legendary No-Fault Lifetime Warranty, covering the scope for life. Learn more at www.hawkeoptics.com.
