Hawke Frontier MOA Hunter Scopes

Hawke Optics has just launched a new pair of 30mm front focal plane riflescopes marketed to hunters and outdoorsmen, the new Hawk Optics 2024 Frontier MOA Hunter Series. Customers have either a 4-20x50mm MOA model  or a 5-25x56mm MOA model to choose from. Both of these scopes are built to Hawke Optics’ System H7 standards and make use of a first-focal-plane reticle that’s optimized specifically to the great outdoors

As front-focal-plane reticle scopes, the reticles on the new Hawke Optics MOA Hunter series will either shrink or grow according to their level of magnification while also keeping their subtensions consistent, something that can be useful for long distance hunts covering hundreds of yards. The central part of the MOA Hunter Series reticles are also illuminated in red for use in conditions with challenging ambient lighting; these riflescopes offer six different illumination levels.

For precision in the field, the MOA Hunter reticle provides the hunter with up to 32 MOA of holdover capability and offers a precise and fine central aiming point. Either scope also offers 16 MOA of windage hold with thick “German style” posts. As fully featured riflescopes, the Hawke Optics MOA Hunter series also includes a side focus parallax adjustment knob. The elevation turret is exposed for easy dialing. This turret along with the windage turret include a zero-locking feature for those who tend to dial and shoot at extended distances.

All Hawke Frontier 30 FFP MOA Hunter scopes are backed by Hawke Optics’ No-fault lifetime warranty. MSRP for these riflescopes starts at $1,199. To learn more about these new hunting riflescopes or other red-dots, riflescopes, LPVOs and optics offered by Hawke, visit hawkeoptics.com.
