Overview
A 3-18x44 riflescope from Hawke's Endurance 30 FD line, built with a 30mm tube, fiber optic push button illumination and an 18 layer multi-coated lens set. It targets hunters and sport shooters wanting a wide zoom range with daylight visible illumination.
The 6x zoom ratio (3x to 18x) gives a wide span from close, fast shots to longer range precision work, backed by Hawke's H5 optical system, which the description credits with a wide field of view and 102mm of eye relief. The illumination uses fiber optics rather than a battery powered LED reticle for its daylight bright aim point, with auto standby and motion activation to help preserve the light source.
- 3-18x44 magnification, 6x zoom ratio, 30mm tube
- Fiber optic push button illumination, 11 levels
- 18 layer fully multi-coated lenses
- Capped, resettable low profile turrets
Who it's for
Fits hunters and sport shooters who want one scope covering both closer brush shots and longer range work, with illumination that stays visible in daylight. Shooters who only need a fixed low power scope for close range work would find the higher end of this zoom range unnecessary.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 6x zoom ratio covers close and long range shooting
- Fiber optic illumination stays visible in daylight
- Auto standby and motion activation help preserve the illumination
- Resettable turrets support return to zero after adjustment
- No published customer ratings yet for this specific model
- Higher magnification top end may be more than close range hunters need
Performance notes
Fiber optic illumination lights the reticle center with a push button control that includes auto standby and motion activation, meant to extend the illumination's usable life between adjustments. The 18 layer fully multi-coated lenses and H5 optical design aim to keep the image bright and clear across the 6x zoom ratio, while capped low profile turrets reset to zero and a removable throw lever speeds up magnification changes.
