What is the primary function of the Hawke 62190 thread adaptor?

The Hawke 62190 thread adaptor is specifically designed to update pre-2015 Hawke Sidewinder riflescope ocular threads so they can accept modern threaded flip-up lens covers. It screws directly into the female threads of the older eyepiece bell, bridging the gap to newer accessories without requiring a complete scope upgrade.

Is the Hawke 62190 compatible with post-2015 Hawke Sidewinder riflescopes or objective bells?

No, this model is not suitable for post-2015 Sidewinder scopes, as those newer models feature ocular threads that accept modern flip-up covers directly without an adaptor. Additionally, it cannot be used on the objective-side lens bells, which require separate objective thread adaptors like the 62192 or 62193.

How does the Hawke 62190 perform under harsh Australian outback conditions and heavy recoil?

Constructed from precision-machined aluminium with a durable matte black finish, this passive metal ring is built to withstand the demanding environments of Australian bush hunting and target shooting. It is fully rated to handle the high recoil of centerfire calibres and heavy-spring airguns supported by the host Sidewinder riflescope.

Hawke 62190 Thread Adaptor - Hawke 62190

The Hawke Sidewinder Thread Adaptor (PRE-2015) Ocular (Model: 62190) is a precision-machined aluminium ring engineered to modernize the ocular eyebell of legacy Hawke Sidewinder riflescopes. Originally, pre-2015 Sidewinder models used older screw-in metal caps. Installing this adapter into the female eyebell threads converts the ocular interface to fit current-generation Hawke threaded metal flip-up lens covers, providing spring-assisted optical protection without relying on slip-on rubber covers.

Key Features

Legacy Interface Conversion: Screws directly into pre-2015 Hawke Sidewinder ocular lens bells to provide standard internal threading for modern Hawke screw-in flip-up covers.
Precision Construction: Manufactured from machined metal alloy with a matte black finish to maintain an integrated, low-profile fit on the riflescope eyepiece.
Recoil Rated: Designed as a passive mechanical interface rated for all firearm recoil and airgun impulses supported by the host riflescope, including high-recoil centerfire, rimfire, and spring-piston/PCP platforms.
Passive Mechanical Design: Operates entirely without batteries or electrical components, requiring no power source or regulatory electronic compliance.

Who is the Hawke Sidewinder Ocular Thread Adaptor for?

Owners of pre-2015 Hawke Sidewinder riflescopes — Converts the eyebell threading on legacy models produced prior to the 2015 production year so they natively accept modern threaded metal flip-up lens covers without modifying the host optic.
Target shooters and field hunters maintaining legacy Hawke optics — Provides a solid screw-in mount on pre-2015 riflescope eyepieces that withstands standard centerfire and airgun recoil impulses without slipping off during field use.

Less suitable for: Post-2015 generation Hawke Sidewinder optics (which feature updated native threads and accept modern flip-up covers directly without an adapter), or objective-side installation (which requires dedicated 50mm or 56mm objective thread adapter rings).
