Hawke Endurance
Hawke Sport Optics Endurance 30 IR SF scopes have been redesigned to provide feature-rich optics while remaining affordable. Low-profile turrets make adjustment easy and repeatable. Stepless rheostat control allows virtually infinite adjustment of reticle illumination to match light conditions. Experience unheard of out-of-the-box accuracy with the .223/.308 Marksman reticle matching the ballistic profile of .223 and .308 hunting ammunition with aimpoints from 100 to 600 yards and 50-yard dot markers. No need to remember aimpoints, either, as they are etched onto the reticle field. Available in 4-16x50 and 6-24x50, with the reticle accurate at the scope’s maximum magnification. Or get the simple reliability of an LR (long range) Dot reticle, which uses the common ballistic profile of rounds such as .30-06, 7mm magnum, and .300 magnum to match most .30-class hunting loads. With Hawk’s Ballistic Reticle Calculator, you may even blueprint the reticle to a specific projectile, using a free download from the company website. Built around 30mm mono-tube chassis with side-focus parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity. Lenses fully multi-coated for optimal light transmission and management. Waterproof, shockproof, and nitrogen-purged to be fog-proof. Covered by transferable Hawke® Worldwide Warranty. Suggested retail for 4-16x50 $379.99; for 6-24x50 $399.99.

Lightfield Boar-Buster 12-gauge tactical round shoots a 465-grain pure lead slug flatter than a Kansas parking lot.

Zero at 100 yards and hit an inch high at 50 yards and only 3 inches low at 125 yards. Impact-discarding sabot controls expansion to punch through the thickest hide and bone.
