Hawke 4x24 Prism Sight

• 5.56 BDC Dot Reticle for Multi-Calibre AR Use: The 5.56 BDC Dot reticle is a bullet drop compensation design with holdover marks calculated to accommodate multiple common AR-platform cartridges — .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO, .308 Win, .300 BLK, and 7.62×39mm. The BDC marks allow the shooter to apply distance-specific holdovers without turret adjustment, making the sight practical for rapid engagement at multiple distances during training or competition use. As an etched glass reticle, the BDC marks remain visible as a black reticle even without battery power.
• Etched Glass Reticle — Functional Without Battery: The etched glass reticle is permanently engraved into the prism glass and remains visible as a black aiming mark even when the illumination is switched off or the battery is depleted. The 10-stage digital brightness control with 8 daytime and 2 night-vision compatible settings enhances contrast in varied light conditions, while the auto shut-off and shake awake system manages battery life passively.
• Fixed 4× Magnification for AR and Hunting Rifle Use: The fixed 4× magnification provides a consistent image scale suited to the typical engagement distances of AR-platform shooting and mid-range hunting — delivering adequate image detail for confident aim point placement at moderate distances without the optical complexity or zero shift risk associated with a zoom mechanism. The field of view of 9.6 metres at 100 metres is practical for target identification and tracking at 4×.
• Micro T-2 Footprint with Low-Profile and Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Mounts: The sight incorporates a Micro T-2 footprint for direct mounting on any compatible optic plate or adapter. 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) are included as standard, providing immediate compatibility with AR flat-top rifles in co-witness configuration and conventional hunting and sporting rifles without additional mount procurement.
• Compact and Lightweight for a 4× Prism Sight: At 222 g body weight and 85 × 47 × 48 mm body dimensions, the Prism Sight 4x24 is notably compact for a fixed 4× prism-based design. The supplied honeycomb sunshade reduces lens flare and glare in high-contrast outdoor shooting environments, and is included as standard alongside the two mount options.

About the Hawke Prism Sight Series

The Hawke Prism Sight series is Hawke's dedicated range of prism-based compact optical sights, designed primarily for AR-pattern and AK-pattern rifles where an etched glass reticle, fixed magnification, and a compact overall package are preferred over a conventional variable-power riflescope or an LED-projected 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 including night-vision compatible settings, multi-coated optics, auto shut-off and shake awake for passive battery management, a Micro T-2 footprint for broad mounting compatibility, and both low-profile and lower 1/3 co-witness high mounts as standard. The series currently comprises two configurations: the 1x15 Speed Dot for shooters who prefer a 1× sight with the etched reticle advantages of a prism design, and the 4x24 5.56 BDC Dot for AR and AK platform shooters who need a fixed 4× optic with a multi-calibre BDC holdover reticle.

About the Model (Hawke Prism Sight 4x24 5.56 BDC Dot)

The Hawke Prism Sight 4x24 5.56 BDC Dot is a fixed 4× prism sight designed for AR-pattern and AK-pattern rifles where a compact, lightweight optic with a multi-calibre BDC holdover reticle and a physically robust etched glass reticle is required. The fixed 4× magnification provides consistent optical performance at a single power setting suited to the typical engagement distances of AR-platform shooting — without magnification shift risk, zoom mechanism maintenance, or the optical complexity of a variable-power design.

The 5.56 BDC Dot reticle is etched into the prism glass, providing multi-calibre holdover marks for .223 Rem / 5.56 NATO, .308 Win, .300 BLK, and 7.62×39mm that remain visible as a black reticle even without battery power. When the battery is active, the reticle is illuminated in red across 10 digital brightness stages including 8 daytime and 2 night-vision compatible settings, managed passively by the auto shut-off and shake awake system.

The 24mm objective lens with 25-layer multi-coated optics provides a clear, detailed image at 4× with a field of view of 9.6 metres at 100 metres. The 72mm of eye relief and fixed parallax at 91 metres are optimised for AR and AK platform use. The exposed 1 MOA click-value turrets provide a maximum of 220 clicks of adjustment per axis for zeroing. The Micro T-2 footprint is built in, with both a low-profile Weaver/Picatinny mount and a lower 1/3 co-witness high mount supplied as standard. The included honeycomb sunshade reduces glare in outdoor shooting. The aluminium body is nitrogen purged, waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. Body weight is 222 g and body dimensions are 85 × 47 × 48 mm.
