Hawke 1x15 Prism Sight

• Etched Glass Prism Reticle — Visible Without Battery Power: Unlike LED-projected dot sights where the reticle disappears when the battery dies, the Prism Sight 1x15 uses an etched glass reticle — the Speed Dot design with a centre dot and horseshoe — that is physically engraved into the prism glass and remains visible as a black reticle even with the illumination switched off or the battery depleted. This provides a functional backup aiming system in the event of battery failure, which is a meaningful practical advantage in field and hunting use.
• Speed Dot Reticle with 10-Stage Illumination including Night Vision Settings: The Speed Dot reticle combines a precise centre dot with an open horseshoe surround — the horseshoe supports fast target framing at close range while the centre dot provides a defined aim point for more deliberate shots at distance. Illumination is available in red only across 10 digital brightness stages, including 8 daytime and 2 night-vision compatible settings.
• Auto Shut-Off and Shake Awake: The sight incorporates an auto shut-off system to preserve battery life when not in use, combined with a shake awake function that powers the illumination on immediately when movement is detected — removing the need to manually switch the sight on before use and ensuring the reticle is illuminated the moment the rifle is raised.
• Micro T-2 Footprint with Two Mounts Included: The sight body incorporates a Micro T-2 footprint for direct mounting on any optic plate or adapter designed for this standard. The package also includes both a low-profile Weaver/Picatinny mount (rail-to-centre height 29 mm) and a lower 1/3 co-witness high mount (rail-to-centre height 40.4 mm), providing immediate compatibility with AR-style flat-top rifles and conventional hunting and sporting rifle platforms without additional hardware.
• Compact and Lightweight for a Prism Sight: At 207 g body weight and 75 × 47 × 48 mm body dimensions, the Prism Sight 1x15 is notably compact and lightweight for a prism-based design, keeping the addition to system weight practical for AR and hunting rifle use. The 98mm of eye relief and wide field of view of 24.9 metres at 100 metres at fixed 1× magnification support fast target acquisition across all intended applications.

About the Hawke Prism Sight Series

The Hawke Prism Sight series is Hawke's dedicated range of prism-based compact optical sights, designed for AR-pattern rifles and hunting rifles where the optical advantages of a prism-based design are preferred over a conventional open reflex or LED dot sight. Prism sights use an internal prism to correct the image and focus the optical path, allowing a physically compact package while providing a true etched reticle — rather than an LED-projected dot — that remains visible as a black aiming mark even without battery power.

All Hawke Prism Sight models feature etched glass reticles with LED illumination for enhanced visibility in varied light conditions, multi-coated optics for consistent light transmission, auto shut-off and shake awake functionality for passive battery management, and a Micro T-2 footprint for broad mounting compatibility. Both low-profile and lower 1/3 co-witness high mounts are supplied as standard, providing immediate compatibility with the most common AR and hunting rifle platform heights. The Prism Sight 1x15 is the compact, fixed-1× configuration in the series, suited to shooters who want the reticle durability advantages of an etched prism design in a package comparable in size and weight to a conventional red dot sight.

About the Model (Hawke Prism Sight 1x15 Speed Dot)

The Hawke Prism Sight 1x15 Speed Dot is a fixed-magnification prism sight designed for AR-pattern rifles and hunting rifles where the combination of an etched glass reticle, night-vision compatible illumination, and the compact dimensions of a 1× optic are required in a single package. The fixed 1× magnification and field of view of 24.9 metres at 100 metres allow both-eyes-open shooting for maximum situational awareness and fast target acquisition, while the Speed Dot reticle — with its centre dot and horseshoe surround — supports both fast close-range framing and more deliberate aim point placement at distance.

The etched glass Speed Dot reticle is a permanent part of the prism optic, remaining visible as a black reticle without battery power. When illuminated, the reticle is available in red across 10 digital brightness stages including 8 daytime and 2 night-vision compatible settings. The auto shut-off and shake awake system manages battery life passively, switching off after a period of inactivity and powering on immediately when the rifle is moved.

The sight body incorporates a Micro T-2 footprint, and the package includes both a low-profile Weaver/Picatinny mount (rail-to-centre height 29 mm) and a lower 1/3 co-witness high mount (rail-to-centre height 40.4 mm). The 25-layer multi-coated 15mm lens delivers high light transmission for a clear sight picture. The sight is parallax-free from 9 metres to infinity and the exposed 1 MOA click-value turrets provide a maximum of 130 clicks of adjustment per axis. At 207 g body weight and 75 × 47 × 48 mm, the sight is notably compact for a prism design. The aluminium housing is nitrogen purged, waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, rated for all calibres.
