Hawke Endurance 30 FD 2-12x50

• Red Digital Fibre Optic Illumination with 11 Brightness Levels: The LR2 FD reticle centre is illuminated using red digital fibre optic technology with 11 brightness levels and a push-button control system incorporating auto-standby and motion activation. The fibre optic system delivers a daylight-bright aim point that remains clearly visible in high-contrast outdoor conditions — a practical advantage over conventional LED illumination at lower magnification settings where reticle visibility against a bright background is often a limiting factor.
• Versatile 2–12× Magnification Range: The 2–12× magnification range provides a broad spread for general hunting use, covering close-range driven hunting at the low end through to deliberate shots at medium and longer hunting distances at the upper end. The 6× zoom ratio allows the shooter to adapt quickly between different shooting scenarios without changing optics.
• Ultra-Wide Field of View: At minimum magnification, the scope delivers a field of view of 19.4 metres at 100 metres — a notably wide sight picture that supports fast target identification and tracking in dynamic hunting situations such as driven hunts, where game may appear and cross the field of view quickly.
• 50mm Objective Lens with H5 Optical System: The 50mm objective lens combined with high-grade, low-dispersion crown glass and 18-layer fully multi-coated lenses provides high light transmission and a bright, high-contrast image throughout the magnification range. An exit pupil of 25 mm at 2× ensures an immediately accessible full sight picture even when eye placement behind the scope is not perfectly centred.
• Capped Low-Profile Resettable Turrets: The capped, low-profile turrets provide 140 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment in ¼ MOA click increments with a resettable zero. The capped design protects against accidental adjustment during carry and handling — well suited to hunting use where the shooter is unlikely to dial adjustments in real time.
• Auto-Standby and Motion Activation: The push-button illumination system automatically deactivates after a period of inactivity and reactivates when motion is detected. This extends battery life significantly across a full hunting day without requiring the shooter to manually manage the illumination between active use periods.
• Compact and Lightweight: At 334 mm in length and 610 g, the Endurance 30 FD 2-12x50 is compact and lightweight relative to its 50mm objective and 30mm tube diameter, making it well suited to driven hunt rifles, mountain hunting builds, and any platform where minimising total system weight is a consideration.
• 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 in driven hunting or any fast-paced field situation 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 variable riflescopes built on the H5 optical system within a 30mm aluminium mono-tube chassis, designed for hunters and field shooters who need a versatile, lightweight optic covering close-range dynamic shooting and medium to long-range precision work from a single platform.

A defining 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 system produces a reticle centre point that is clearly visible in full daylight — a meaningful advantage over conventional LED illumination, particularly at lower magnification settings where reticle brightness against a bright outdoor background is a common practical limitation.

All Endurance 30 FD models feature high-grade, low-dispersion crown glass with 18-layer fully multi-coated lenses, a high-volume eyebox, and 102mm of eye relief. The series uses a consistent 6× zoom ratio across all magnification configurations, and all models are fitted with capped, low-profile, resettable turrets appropriate for field hunting use. The lineup comprises six models: 1-6x24 (L4A FD), 1.7-10x44 (LR2 FD), 2-12x50 (LR2 FD), 3-18x44 SF (Mountain Hunter — a lightweight configuration designed for high-country hunting), 3-18x50 SF (LR2 FD), and 4.5-27x56 SF (LR2 FD), covering applications from close-range driven hunting to long-range precision field use.

About the Model (Hawke Endurance 30 FD 2-12x50 LR2 FD)

The Hawke Endurance 30 FD 2-12x50 is a variable riflescope designed for general hunting use across a wide variety of terrain and distances. The 2–12× magnification range provides a practical 6× zoom ratio starting from a low 2× that gives a field of view of 19.4 metres at 100 metres — wide enough for fast target pick-up in driven hunting and woodland situations — while the 12× upper end provides adequate image detail for confident shot placement at typical hunting distances in open country.

The 50mm objective lens, combined with the H5 optical system and 18-layer fully multi-coated lenses, delivers high light transmission and a bright, high-contrast image across the magnification range. An exit pupil of 25 mm at 2× ensures a large, accessible sight picture at low power, reducing the precision required for fast eye placement behind the scope under field conditions. The high-volume eyebox and 102mm of eye relief further support fast, comfortable acquisition from a range of head positions.

The LR2 FD reticle is a second focal plane design with subtensions calibrated at 12×, the scope's maximum magnification. At this reference power, the holdover marks and spacing values correspond directly to the stated values, allowing reliable holdovers at known distances. The reticle centre is illuminated using red digital fibre optic technology with 11 brightness levels and a push-button control system with auto-standby and motion activation, providing a daylight-bright aim point while conserving battery life during inactive periods.

The capped, low-profile, resettable turrets offer 140 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment in ¼ MOA click increments. The parallax is fixed at 91 metres, which suits the typical engagement distances of a general-purpose hunting scope and removes the need for parallax adjustment during fast-moving field situations. The fast-focus eyebell allows rapid dioptre adjustment, and the removable zoom throw lever enables fast magnification changes without breaking cheek weld. The mono-tube is nitrogen purged and fully sealed, providing waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance rated for all calibres. Overall length is 334 mm and weight is 610 g.
