Hawke Endurance 30 FD 1-6x24

• Fibre Optic Illumination with Digital Push-Button Control: The L4A FD reticle uses red digital fibre optic illumination with 11 brightness levels, controlled via a push-button with auto-standby and motion activation. The fibre optic system delivers a daylight-bright centre point that remains visible even in direct sunlight — a significant practical advantage over conventional LED-only illumination in LPVO applications where the scope is frequently used at or near 1× in fast-moving hunting or shooting scenarios.
• True 1× Minimum Magnification: The 1–6× magnification range starts at a genuine 1×, which allows the scope to be used with both eyes open for close-range target acquisition — similar to a red dot sight — before increasing magnification for more precise work at distance. This makes the scope practical across a wide variety of hunting situations without requiring a change of optic.
• Ultra-Wide Field of View: At minimum magnification, the scope delivers a field of view of 38.8 metres at 100 metres — among the broadest available in the 1–6× class. This wide field of view supports fast target acquisition and situational awareness at short range, where the ability to see a broad area quickly is more important than image magnification.
• H5 Optical System with 18-Layer Fully Multi-Coated Lenses: High-grade, low-dispersion crown glass combined with 18-layer fully multi-coated lenses provides high light transmission and a bright, high-contrast image across the full magnification range. The large exit pupil of 24 mm at 1× ensures a bright, full sight picture is immediately accessible even when the eye is not perfectly centred behind the scope.
• Compact and Lightweight Construction: At 284 mm in length and 484 g, the Endurance 30 FD 1-6x24 is notably compact and lightweight for a 30mm tube LPVO, making it well suited to rifles where total system weight and balance are important considerations — including driven hunt rifles, semi-automatics, and lightweight mountain hunting platforms.
• Capped Low-Profile Resettable Turrets: The low-profile capped turrets provide a 280 MOA of adjustment on both elevation and windage in ½ MOA click increments, with a resettable zero. The capped design protects the turrets from accidental movement during carry and handling — an appropriate choice for a scope used primarily in dynamic, close-to-medium range hunting situations where the shooter is unlikely to dial adjustments in the field.
• Auto-Standby and Motion Activation: The push-button illumination system incorporates auto-standby and motion activation, which automatically turns the illumination off when the rifle is stationary for a set period and reactivates it when motion is detected. This extends battery life significantly during a hunting day where the scope may spend extended periods inactive between uses.
• 102mm Eye Relief with High-Volume Eyebox: The 102mm of eye relief and high-volume eyebox allow a full sight picture to be obtained quickly and from a range of head positions — a key requirement for an LPVO used in driven hunting or any dynamic shooting scenario where there is limited time to position the eye precisely behind the scope.

About the Endurance 30 FD Series

The Hawke Endurance 30 FD series is a range of low power variable optics (LPVOs) built on the H5 optical system within a 30mm aluminium mono-tube chassis. The series is designed for hunters and sport shooters who require a versatile, lightweight optic capable of covering close-range dynamic shooting and medium-range precision work from a single platform, without the bulk or weight of a conventional mid-range riflescope.

A key feature of the Endurance 30 FD series is the use of red digital fibre optic illumination with 11 brightness levels and a push-button control system incorporating auto-standby and motion activation. The fibre optic illumination system delivers a reticle centre point that remains clearly visible in full daylight — a meaningful advantage over conventional LED illumination at low magnification settings, where reticle visibility against a bright background is a common limitation.

All Endurance 30 FD models are built on the H5 optical system, featuring high-grade, low-dispersion crown glass with 18-layer fully multi-coated lenses and an ultra-wide field of view at minimum magnification. The series uses a 6× zoom ratio starting from a true 1×, which allows use with both eyes open at close range. Turrets across the series are capped, low-profile, and resettable, suited to the dynamic field use that characterises LPVO applications.

About the Model (Hawke Endurance 30 FD 1-6x24 L4A FD)

The Hawke Endurance 30 FD 1-6x24 is a low power variable optic designed for versatile field use across a wide range of hunting applications, from driven hunting at very close range to more deliberate shots at medium distances in open country. The 1–6× magnification range provides a 6× zoom ratio starting from a genuine 1×, which allows the scope to be used effectively with both eyes open at close range — comparable to a red dot sight — before increasing magnification for more precise shot placement as distance increases.

The H5 optical system with 18-layer fully multi-coated lenses and high-grade, low-dispersion crown glass delivers a bright, high-contrast image across the magnification range. The 24mm objective lens provides an exit pupil of 24 mm at 1×, ensuring an immediately accessible full sight picture with minimal eye placement precision required. The field of view of 38.8 metres at 100 metres at minimum magnification is notably wide, supporting fast target pick-up in woodland, driven hunting, and any close-range shooting situation where broad situational awareness is more valuable than image magnification.

The L4A FD reticle is a second focal plane design with subtensions calibrated at 6×, the scope's maximum magnification. The reticle centre is illuminated using red digital fibre optic illumination with 11 brightness levels, controlled via a push-button system with auto-standby and motion activation. The fibre optic illumination produces a daylight-bright aim point that is clearly visible in high-contrast outdoor conditions — particularly useful at 1× where a bright, well-defined centre point is essential for fast, accurate target engagement.

The capped, low-profile, resettable turrets offer 280 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment in ½ MOA click increments. The parallax is fixed at 91 metres, which is appropriate for the intended use range of this optic and removes the need for parallax adjustment during fast-paced shooting situations. The locking fast-focus eyebell allows rapid dioptre adjustment, and the removable zoom throw lever enables fast magnification changes without breaking cheek weld.

At 284 mm in length and 484 g, the Endurance 30 FD 1-6x24 is compact and lightweight relative to its tube diameter and feature set, making it well suited to driven hunt rifles, semi-automatic platforms, and any build where minimising total system weight is a consideration. The mono-tube is nitrogen purged and fully sealed, providing waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance rated for all calibres.
