The Hawke Sidewinder riflescope is designed for extreme shooting, and has amazing clarity with its 18 layer, fully multi-coated glass. The 30mm scope offers high resolution viewing and a bright sharp picture in all lighting conditions. The lens configurations have been carefully selected to offer the optimum performance in low light conditions, while offering excellent range finding properties.
If you like clear, sharp, crisp images when you look through your scope, then mount this scope on your rifle. Hawke has a reputation for producing superior scopes, and their Sidewinder models deliver some of the best pictures you'll ever see through an optical device. While all scopes give you a picture, the Sidewinder will deliver one that will help you shoot better because you'll be able to distinguish even the smallest details when you home in on your target. Be forewarned, once you use this scope, all your other scopes will suddenly disappoint you.
With its superior glass, you'll be on your target right away. And because of the robust build of your Hawke scope, you can use it on any firearm or airgun - even those with heavy recoil.
The Sidewinder features a side focusing system designed to Parallax from 10 yds to Infinity. The open Sniper-style turrets are calibrated to 1/4 MOA per click. The reticle illumination brightness adjustment is positioned on the side focus turret. This allows 5 Red and 5 Green settings. The settings have been carefully considered to produce low enough illumination levels for dawn and dusk shooting. If you prefer the solid black reticle, simply turn off the illumination.
The fully multi-coated lenses are waterproof, shockproof, and nitrogen filled for the best possible light transmission.
This scope comes equipped with a 4 side wheel to enhance range finding, a sunshade for bright conditions, and screw-in lens covers to protect the outer lenses.

Great scope, glass is really clear
Things I Would Have ChangedMore minutes of angle. You'll need a set of rings that you can add in moa
I have this on my Marauder and what a cool combination it is. I would buy this scope again in a second.
Things I Would Have ChangedI can't think of anything negative I have to say about this scope. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for.
I've used Hawks sidewinders exclusively on my airguns for about 4 years now. Three pcps and 2 magnum Springers ( RWS magnum 300, and UK Webley patriot .25). Besides all the great optics, high quality workmanship, and outperforming scopes at three times cost. What made me a believer is their ability to hold zero, even on a springer. It's quite nice to get right to hunting without having to sight in before each session. IMHO, the best value you can get at this price point.
This is an awesome scope. If you research reviews, this scope is pretty much receiving 5 stars everywhere. It is clear throughout all ranges. It is big and it is heavy but I’m bench shooting so no issues for me there. The eye relief does get a bit sensitive when zooming into the higher magnifications but nice, clear, and bright. The reticle is nice and slim. I’ve had numerous Leapers scopes and they have all worked awesome and they are awesome for the price, however this scope is quite a step up but you won’t notice unless you shoot both. My personal opinion of a Leapers vs Hawke analogy, the Hawke scope is kinda like a corvette compared to the Leapers being a trans am, they’ll both get you get you to where you want to be but one just has better qualities for getting you there. On another note, to answer a question I personally had about this scope, this scope does focus down to a little under 10 yards. My only issue with this scope was the metal flip up caps (lens covers). I like them all of the way back laying down and out of my way when I’m shooting. They are nice and slim but they made a little twang sound when I shot (marauder synrod .25 which is very quiet). I put a small piece of Velcro on the caps and the scope which insulated the noise when fully open and no more issues. Another question I had was about the scope ring size for my synthetic marauder.25. I bought the Leapers/UTG rings in high and medium at first because I didn’t know what I needed for sure. I then found the Hawke high rings. The medium UTG at 14mm fit but it was very very close (too close for me but barely no contact between the scope and barrel shroud). The Hawke high mounts are 17mm and worked perfectly. I didn’t end up even trying the high UTG mounts which are 21mm. These numbers are the measurements from the base of the scope ring to the bottom of the scope ring where the scope rests. If you have the money to spend on this scope, you won’t be disappointed. If you already have a nice Leapers or other scope that is already putting holes in holes at a close distance and you don’t care about stretching out the distance, then this won’t be your “be all end all” scope.
Things I Would Have ChangedPut a coating or something on the flip up caps to dampen noise.
This scope is very clear. This is the most expensive scope I own at this time so I can't comment on high end scopes from other manufactures, but it is a night and day difference between the clarity of this scope and others that I have owned. It tracks exactly how it is supposed to making it easy to take longer range shots. Also this scope doesn't feel flimsy or cheap at all, the scope covers are metal and it positively clicks when making changes to the turrets.
Things I Would Have ChangedI know this is going to be hard, but it would be nice if this scope was slightly lighter, as it adds a noticeable weight to the gun. Would also be nice if the side wheel that was included was slightly smaller. Just my opinion but the side wheel looks odd when mounted. If your not hunting with it, its not a big deal but if you use this scope for hunting its too big and catches on branches easily.
What Others Should KnowIf you want a quality scope that's crystal clear and just works this is the scope for you. Save up a little more and get this scope you won't be disappointed.
Best scope I've ever bought. Have it on my Daystate .303 Wolverine and I can hit a dime at 50 yards. Beautifully made scope, rugged, great bright optics. Can't go wrong with this star.

Excellent scope - compliments my S510 Ultimate sporter and allows me to obtain the amazing accuracy this rifle is capable of achieving. I use it for Hunter Field Target and did add a bigger side wheel. It is rather big for hunting but I use it anyway. All equipment has trade offs. If size and weight not a problem you will love this scope.
