The Hawke Endurance 30 FD 2.5–10×50 is a variable-power hunting riflescope engineered for versatile target acquisition across varied Australian terrain. Built on a 30 mm mono-tube aircraft-grade aluminium chassis, it features Hawke System H5 optics with 18-layer fully multi-coated crown glass and a 50 mm objective lens for optimal light transmission during dawn and dusk. The second focal plane LR FD glass-etched reticle includes an intense, daylight-bright red fibre-optic central dot powered by a single CR2032 battery with six brightness levels. Engineered to withstand heavy centrefire cartridges and magnum recoil, this optic is nitrogen-purged, shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof.

Key Features

• Fiber Optic Illumination: Features an intense red Fiber Optic Dot (FD) at the centre of the glass-etched LR FD reticle (calibrated at 10×) with six brightness settings and intermediate off positions.
• Wide-Angle Optical System: Delivers a 24° ultra-wide field of view spanning 16.6 m to 4.2 m at 100 m with a high-volume eyebox and 102 mm (4.0 in) of eye relief.
• Low-Profile Turrets: Capped, resettable 1/4 MOA turrets provide 140 MOA of total elevation and windage adjustment travel.
• Rugged Chassis: Machined from a single piece of 30 mm aircraft-grade aluminium with all-calibre recoil testing and a balanced 612 g overall weight.

Who is the Hawke Endurance 30 FD 2.5–10×50 for?

• Feral pest and varmint control hunters — Utilises a 2.5–10× magnification range and an expansive 16.6 m field of view at 100 m to facilitate rapid, low-magnification target tracking on fast-moving pigs, foxes, and wild dogs in close brush before dialing up for precision shots.
• Medium-to-large game hunters — Relies on the 50 mm objective lens paired with 140 MOA total turret travel and a 612 g carry weight to deliver maximum twilight light-gathering and balanced rifle handling when pursuing deer, goats, and kangaroos across steep hills and dense scrub.

Less suitable for: Extreme close-range shooting under 50 m where parallax error occurs without close-focus correction, or precision long-range target shooting past 500–600 m; these applications are better served by a higher-magnification target riflescope equipped with an adjustable side-focus parallax turret.
