Hawke Frontier 30 5-25x56 SF FFP

• First Focal Plane Reticle (FFP Mil Pro or MOA Hunter): The reticle is positioned in the first focal plane and scales proportionally with magnification throughout the entire 5–25× zoom range. All subtension values — holdovers, ranging marks, and wind correction references — remain accurate at every power setting, which removes the need to mentally correct for magnification during field shooting.
• Patented Zero Lock 'N' Stop Elevation Turret: The exposed elevation turret incorporates a physical zero stop that prevents rotation below the shooter's set zero. After dialling elevation for a longer shot, returning to the original zero requires only rotating the turret clockwise until it stops — with no click counting or revolution tracking required under field conditions.
• 30mm Mono-Tube Chassis with Standard Mount Compatibility: The precision-machined 30mm aluminium mono-tube provides broad compatibility with widely available ring mounts. With 19 MRAD (or 65 MOA) of elevation and windage travel on both axes, the scope offers meaningful mechanical adjustment range while keeping the overall package compact and lightweight.
• H7 Optical System with 56mm Objective Lens: The H7 optical system combines high-grade, low-dispersion crown glass with 21-layer fully multi-coated lenses and a 56mm objective. The result is high light transmission, strong contrast, and a bright image across the magnification range. An exit pupil of 11.2 mm at 5× supports image brightness during low-light hunting conditions at dawn or dusk.
• Wide Field of View at Minimum Magnification: At 5×, the scope delivers a field of view of 7.5 metres at 100 metres, which gives the shooter a practical view for target identification and tracking before increasing magnification for the shot. The high-volume eyebox further reduces the need for precise head positioning, which is useful during dynamic hunting situations.
• Multi-LED Illuminated Reticle with 6 Brightness Levels: The reticle centre is illuminated in red across 6 intensity settings, with off positions between each level. The stepped rheostat control allows the shooter to select an appropriate brightness for the current light conditions without overshooting to a level that would wash out the reticle markings.
• Side Focus Parallax Adjustment: The side-mounted parallax knob provides correction from 14 metres to infinity, allowing precise parallax elimination without changing the firing position. This is particularly useful when moving between targets at different distances or during extended precision shooting sessions.
• Compact Dimensions and Field-Practical Weight: At 365 mm in length and 698 g, the Frontier 30 FFP 5-25x56 is well proportioned for hunting use, offering a larger 56mm objective and high magnification range without the added size and weight of the larger Frontier 34 variants.

About the Frontier 30 FFP Series

The Hawke Frontier 30 FFP series is built on the company's flagship H7 optical system within a 30mm aluminium mono-tube chassis. The series is designed for hunters and field precision shooters who require first focal plane reticle accuracy, a reliable zero stop turret system, and consistent optical performance in a package that is more compact and lighter than the larger Frontier 34 variants.

All Frontier 30 FFP models feature high-grade, low-dispersion crown glass combined with 21-layer fully multi-coated lenses, providing consistent image brightness, strong contrast, and clear sharpness from the lowest to the highest magnification setting. The optical specification supports reliable image quality in variable lighting conditions, including the critical low-light periods most relevant to hunting.

The mechanical design of the series centres on Hawke's patented Zero Lock 'N' Stop elevation turret system. The exposed turrets are locking, resettable, and equipped with a physical zero stop that prevents unintentional sub-zero rotation — a key feature for hunters and competition shooters who need a guaranteed return to zero after dialling for distance. The standard 30mm tube diameter ensures broad compatibility with widely available ring mounts.

The Frontier 30 FFP series is available in three magnification configurations: 3-15x50, 4-20x50, and 5-25x56. Each model is offered in two reticle variants — Mil Pro (MRAD) and MOA Hunter (MOA) — allowing shooters to select the measurement system that best matches their ballistic workflow and intended application.

About the Model (Hawke Frontier 30 FFP 5-25x56)

The Hawke Frontier 30 FFP 5-25x56 is a first focal plane riflescope aimed at hunters and precision shooters who need higher magnification and a larger objective lens than the 4-20x50 model provides, while remaining within the compact footprint of the Frontier 30 chassis. The 5–25× magnification range delivers a 5× zoom ratio, with a field of view of 7.5 metres at 100 metres at minimum power — sufficient for target acquisition in open terrain and driven hunting — and a 25× upper limit that provides the image scale needed for precise shot placement at extended hunting distances.

The 56mm objective lens, combined with the H7 optical system and 21-layer fully multi-coated lenses, provides high light transmission and a bright, detailed image across the magnification range. An exit pupil of 11.2 mm at 5× contributes to image brightness in the low-light conditions typical of early morning and late evening hunting, where a bright, high-contrast image is most valuable.

The scope is available in two reticle variants. The Mil Pro version (art. no. 10.18540) uses an MRAD-spaced reticle with holdover markings, paired with exposed turrets offering 0.1 MRAD click values and 19 MRAD of travel on both elevation and windage. The MOA Hunter version (art. no. 10.18541) uses an MOA-spaced hunting reticle with holdover markings, paired with ¼ MOA click-value turrets offering 65 MOA of travel on both elevation and windage. The symmetrical adjustment range on both axes reflects the scope's hunting-oriented design, where windage correction requirements can be comparable to elevation. Both variants feature an illuminated reticle centre in red with 6 brightness levels and off positions between each step.

The elevation turret on both variants uses Hawke's patented Zero Lock 'N' Stop system — exposed, locking, resettable, and equipped with a physical zero stop. The windage turret is also exposed and locking, but without a zero stop. Side-mounted parallax adjustment covers 14 metres to infinity. The locking fast-focus eyebell secures the dioptre setting once established, and a removable zoom throw lever is included as standard for rapid magnification changes without breaking cheek weld.

The hard-anodised aluminium mono-tube is sealed and nitrogen purged, providing waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance rated for all calibres. Overall length is 365 mm and weight is 698 g.
