Endurance 30 FD
The Endurance 30 FD series is designed for hunters and sport shooters looking for dependable performance combined with a particularly powerful reticle illumination system. At the heart of the range is Hawke's Fiber Dot technology, producing an intensely illuminated red aiming point that remains clearly visible even in bright daylight.
Illumination is controlled by a convenient push-button system with 11 brightness levels. Auto Standby combined with motion activation helps conserve battery power when the riflescope is not in use and reactivates the illumination when movement is detected.
A robust 30 mm monotube chassis, practical turret configurations and a high-grip zoom ring with removable throw lever make the Endurance 30 FD series a versatile choice for a wide range of hunting and sporting applications.
Hawke System H5 – High Optical Performance and Wide Field of View
The H5 optical system is designed to deliver a bright, high-contrast and detailed image across a wide range of shooting conditions. High-grade low-dispersion crown glass helps minimise colour fringing and provides a sharp, natural view of the target.
The lenses feature 18-layer fully multi-coated surfaces to optimise light transmission and reduce unwanted reflections. At the same time, the H5 system provides particularly wide fields of view – a significant advantage for rapid target acquisition and tracking moving targets.
The H5 system therefore combines high image quality with a generous field of view, making it equally suitable for fast hunting situations and precise target identification at longer distances.
Endurance 30 FD 1-6x24
The 1–6x24 is the particularly compact and dynamic model within the Endurance 30 FD series. At 1x magnification, its exceptionally wide field of view of up to 38.8 m at 100 m provides rapid target acquisition and excellent situational awareness – ideal for driven hunting and other close-range applications.
For more distant targets, magnification can be increased continuously up to 6x. This gives the riflescope a significantly broader range of applications than a conventional red dot sight and also makes it suitable for dynamic sporting disciplines.
At just 284 mm in length and 484 g in weight, the 1–6x24 remains pleasantly compact. Its low-profile, capped and resettable turrets provide 1/2 MOA adjustments, while the removable zoom throw lever allows rapid changes in magnification. Parallax is conveniently fixed at 91 m.
L4A FD (6x)
The L4A FD (6x) combines the clean layout of a classic hunting-style L4 reticle with Hawke's modern Fiber Dot illumination. Heavier outer posts guide the eye quickly towards the centre, while the open central area maintains a largely unobstructed view of the target.
At its centre is an intensely illuminated red Fiber Dot that remains clearly visible even in bright daylight. This makes the reticle particularly effective for rapid shots and moving targets where an instantly recognisable aiming point is essential. Illumination can be adjusted through 11 brightness levels to suit changing ambient light conditions.
The L4A FD is positioned in the second focal plane (SFP) and therefore maintains the same apparent size as magnification changes. Its defined reticle subtensions correspond to 6x magnification. The design therefore combines rapid target acquisition at low magnification with precise aiming at maximum magnification.
Fibre Dot – a high-intensity aiming point for changing light conditions
Hawke's FD Fibre Dot technology is designed to provide particularly fast and intuitive target acquisition. Rather than simply illuminating a conventional reticle, the system focuses on an intensely illuminated red aiming point at the centre of the reticle. Fibre-optic illumination produces a bright, clearly defined aiming point that remains highly visible even in bright daylight.
This is especially advantageous in dynamic hunting situations. The eye is naturally drawn towards the bright central aiming point, allowing the target to be acquired quickly, while the remaining reticle structure stays unobtrusive and maintains a clear view of the target. In low-light conditions, illumination intensity can be reduced accordingly to prevent excessive brightness and maintain comfortable target acquisition.
Intuitive operation
The illumination can be adjusted quickly and easily to changing light conditions and shooting situations. This helps keep the aiming point clearly visible in both bright daylight and low-light conditions without unnecessarily dominating the sight picture.Automatic standby functionOn suitably equipped models, an automatic standby function helps conserve battery power. When the riflescope remains stationary for a period of time, the illumination can enter standby mode and reactivate when movement is detected again.
This reduces the need to repeatedly switch the illumination on and off manually during a day in the field, while ensuring that the illuminated aiming point is quickly available again when the riflescope is brought into use.
The practical advantage
FD technology therefore combines the precision of a conventional riflescope reticle with the intuitive target acquisition of a highly visible red aiming point. At low magnification, the Fibre Dot supports rapid target acquisition and engagement of moving targets; at higher magnification, it provides a clearly defined central aiming reference for precise shot placement.
This makes the technology particularly suitable for applications where light conditions, shooting distances or target situations can change rapidly – from daylight driven hunts to low-light hunting at dusk.
