Hawke Endurance 30 FD 1.7-10x44

• Wide Angle 1.7-10x range: The low 1.7x setting gives a broad view for fast target acquisition at short distance, while 10x provides enough precision for more deliberate shots across open ground.
• 42 mm objective with fully multi-coated optics: This combination helps maintain a bright, clear image in mixed light, which is useful when stalking at dawn, dusk, or in shaded woodland.
• 30 mm mono-tube design: The larger tube supports a strong, stable riflescope body and gives a practical platform for hunting rifles that may see rough field use.
• SFP illuminated reticle: The second focal plane layout keeps the reticle appearance consistent through the zoom range, while red illumination improves visibility against dark game or cluttered backgrounds.
• 102 mm eye relief: The generous 4-inch eye relief helps maintain a comfortable shooting position and adds safety on rifles with noticeable recoil.

About the Hawke Endurance Series

The Hawke Endurance series sits in the brand’s mid-range hunting optics lineup and was developed around a practical balance of field durability, useful reticle options, and versatile magnification choices. Introduced as the Endurance 30 WA family in 2018, the series uses a 30 mm mono-tube chassis and 18-layer fully multi-coated optics to support dependable image quality in real hunting conditions rather than bench-only use.

A defining trait of the range is its Wide Angle optical system, paired with a stated 4-inch eye relief. In practice, that means a more open sight picture at lower magnifications and comfortable head position on rifles used for stalking, driven hunts, or general-purpose centrefire work. The family includes both fixed-parallax and side-focus models, with glass-etched reticles and red illumination. Depending on the model, reticle choices cover straightforward hunting layouts as well as ballistic designs such as LRC and .223/.308 Marksman, giving the series broad appeal from short-range woodland shooting to longer shots in open country.

About the Hawke Endurance 30 FD 1.7-10x42

The Hawke Endurance 30 FD 1.7-10x42 is built as a flexible hunting riflescope for shooters who need one optic to cover close encounters and more measured shots at distance. The 1.7-10x magnification range is the key to that versatility: at the low end it remains quick to mount and easy to track moving game, while the upper end gives enough image scale for careful shot placement when ranges stretch out. Combined with a 42.00 mm objective lens, it offers a useful balance between light gathering and manageable overall size.

This model uses a second focal plane reticle, so the reticle keeps the same apparent size throughout the zoom range. That makes it easy to read quickly at low power and uncluttered at higher magnification. Red illumination adds contrast when the target is dark or the background is busy, and the daytime-usable setting helps the aiming point stand out in bright conditions. The capped turrets suit a hunting role well, protecting the adjustments from accidental movement while carrying the rifle through brush or over uneven ground. With 14mm/100m - 1/2MOA click adjustment and a fixed 91m parallax setting, the scope stays simple and fast to operate in the field.

The mechanical layout also supports practical use. 102.00 mm eye relief gives a forgiving shooting position and helps on harder-recoiling rifles, while the fast focus eyepiece allows quick reticle sharpening to the shooter’s eye. A nitrogen-filled, waterproof, fogproof and shockproof construction is intended for changing weather and regular transport, making this model a sound fit for stalking rifles and general hunting optics use.

About Hawke

Hawke is a United Kingdom-headquartered sporting optics manufacturer with a product range that covers riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, and laser rangefinders. The company’s catalogue also extends into specialist sighting systems for crossbows, shotguns, and airguns, which reflects a broad focus on field and shooting applications rather than a single optics niche.

Within riflescopes, Hawke offers both first-focal-plane and second-focal-plane designs across several established families, including Frontier, Sidewinder, Endurance, Airmax, and Vantage. Its riflescope development has included features such as multi-coated optics and a patented zero-shift anti-recoil reticle gimbal in the Frontier line, showing a clear emphasis on maintaining optical consistency and mechanical stability under recoil. That background is directly relevant to the Endurance series, which is aimed at practical hunting and sporting use.
