Hawke Frontier 30 SF rifle scopes description

Hawke Frontier 30 SF (side Focus) rifle scopes are the top end hunting rifle scopes from the company Hawke. These rifle scopes are made specifically for hunting use, and with 6 times zoom range these scopes are very suitable for different hunting situations. Both models that are curently available can be ordered wit a LR Dot reticle, that was designed for a typical .308 trajectory, which is very popular between hunters. The bigger model, Hawke Frontier 30 SF 5-30x50 can also be ordered with a TMX reticle, that is MIL based on 20 magnification, for easy holdovers and wind corections. Both reticles are set in the second focal plane (reticle size doesn't change with magnification)

Both models have fully multi coated lenses with 21 layers of coating, which ensures good light transmission, contrast and resolution. The reticle is etched into glass to withstand big caliber recoil, and is illuminated with 11 brightnes settings in red color, that is usable in the dark and even at bright day-light.

The main tube is made from a single piece aluminum for more strenght, and the mounting diameter is 30 mm so many mounting solutions are available. The whole housing is filled for dry nitrogen to prevent internal fogging at low temperatures. The turrets are capped for protection against accidental movement, and the magnification ring is ruberized for easy use even with gloves. Hawke Frontier SF rifle scopes feature also a side parallax adjustment turret, that goes from 10 yards (9 meters) to infinity (2.5-15x50 model) and by the bigger model, Hawke Frontier 30 SF 5-30x50 the parallax adjustment goes from 30 yards ( 27 meters ) to infinity.

General properties of Tactical Rifle scopes

Tactical rifle scopes are meant for tactical situations where the importance of the first shot hitting the target is much higher than consistent pinpoint accuracy. Tactical - scope also offers the possibility of range estimation or shifting of the aim point in the reticle to compensate for bullet drop or wind drift.

The most common features of tactical scope are:

Tactical (uncapped) turrets
Tactical reticles (Mil-Dot, etc.)
Tube mounting (30mm, 34mm, 35mm, 36,mm or 40mm)
Minimal magnification from 1x to 6x
Maximal magnification from 12x to 30x
Bigger click values (usually 1cm/100m)
FFP reticle configuration is frequent

A special case of Tactical - scope is also MIL/MIL scope, which could be described also as fully tactical - scope.

What makes a scope tactical?

The tactical scope is a scope that features tactical (exposed) turrets, which is the one basic criterion. But there are more.

The optics is tactical if it meets the following requirements:

a magnification between 5x to 25x,
uncapped turrets on the riflescope,
an illuminated reticle,
one-centimeter clicks,
riflescope with the reticle in the first focal plane, and
on more expensive models, a zero stop.

What is the difference between a tactical scope and a hunting scope?

Hunting riflescope is, of course, meant to be used for hunting, whereas a tactical scope is intended to be used in all tactical situations. A hunting scope features a lower magnification range, so hunters can also use a scope in poor light conditions. A tactical scope, however, features a magnification that is on the upper side of the medium range.

Reticle position and turrets on tactical- rifle scope and hunting scope

Hunting scope is also the only type of scope that can be mounted with rails. The reticle is in the second focal plane, which is not the case with tactical scope, as they have a first focal plane reticle.

The turrets on hunting scope are capped low-profile hunting turrets, whereas tactical scope features uncapped turrets.

What is the difference between a tactical - scope and a target scope?

As mentioned, the purpose of the tactical scope is to be used in all tactical situations. Target scope, on the other hand, is meant for precision shooting. Compared to tactical scopes’ 5x to 25x magnification, target ones have an extremely high one, which is up to 55x.

Reticle position in Tactical scope and Target scope

The tactical scope features a first focal plane reticle, and target scope a second focal plane reticle. What is more, with a target scope, if the user has enough knowledge and experience, they can also use it for hunting.

The characteristics of tactical riflescope (the main one being the FFP reticle), make them suitable only for tactical shooting purposes.
