Hawke SIDEWINDER ED 10-50X60 TMX with interchangeable turrets!

[Michael]

Best glass yet Extra-low Dispersion (ED), best reticle (TMX), 10-50x60 with 10y to infinity parallax. Not cheap but it could be an answer to some of those ridiculously expensive FT scopes.

Still far cheaper than a Huskemaw and I like this one more.

How does it compare with the Sightron SIII SS 10-50x60mm?

It looks good

Looks good. Big question is going to be how repeatable and discretely can it range between 40-55 yards.

Very interesting scope, but taking the price into consideration, I suppose it is gonna get some stiff competition from the well proven, Japanese Sightron SIII 10-50's and Big Nikkos.
ED glass and interchangeable turrets are nice features, although I don't feel the need to change turrets after a scope is set up. (mil only for me please )

Anyone review this yet here?

I just bought a new scope and went right down the same thought path as Weatherby. The Hawke is $899 at PA and $89 for 1/8 MOA turret and I would have had to pay tax at PA as I'm in Ohio about an hour from there.. For $1049 (no tax on my order from the not-a-sponsor place and free shipping) you can get the proven Sightron SIII SS with 1/8 MOA target turrets. I didn't see any reason to take a chance on the Hawke and went with a new Sightron. Now if the Hawke was in the $750 range, I might have taken a look at it.

I have a Hawke Sidewinder and I am not thrilled with the optics. I like my Bushnell Elite better.

Michael does the Hawke 10- 50x60 sidewinder have a 12x mag setting marked on the scope? Im interested in buying the ​Hawke 10- 50x60 sidewinder ED for FTH it needs to have 12x marked on the scope.

Below is a photo of a Hawke Frontier to show the 12x not marked. .
