And once again, we have a new brand name that was missing in our already wide range of products: the still very young brand Hawke Optics. Founded by Paul Walker in the 1980s, this brand has become part of the Deben Group Inc. Ltd., which sells even more well known brand products for outdoor use and marksmen, in addition to binocular-related products.

This English enterprise produces binoculars, spotting scopes, range finders, rifle scopes as well as matching accessories in the medium to low price range. The rifle scopes, in particular, have already proved themselves with their excellent price/performance ratio in some tests conducted by leading hunting magazines. Now we would like to introduce some product series in more detail.

Binoculars:
The Sapphire ED and Frontier ED-Series is a persuasive product with its high-quality multilayer coating, phase corrected roof prism and ED-lenses and thus a maximum in transmission, image sharpness and clarity.

In addition, the Sapphire-Series offers you a dielectric coating on the roof prism for even more brightness and the models from 32 mm and up are delivered in a sturdy hard shell case made of real leather.

The Endurance-Series comes with a special easy to grip rubber armouring, the pattern of which reminds you of the fish skin patter of a rifle stock. The Nature-Trek and Vantage-Series mainly appeals to price conscious customers, who would want good quality, on a small budget.

Spotting scopes:

The Frontier and Endurance-Series are spotting scopes with a zoom eyepiece. Many of these models are also equipped with high-quality ED-glass lenses. With the large focus ring or the dual focus, you can quickly change the magnification, but also focus on details in a bird’s feathers. The numerous Digiscoping adapters allow you to digitally capture and share your observations.

Rangefinder

The Professional Rangefinder is available in 3 variantions: They differ in their maximum measurable distance of 400, 600 or 900 meters. All models come with a 6-fold magnification and the possibility to measure the angle or the height of an object with an accuracy of +/- 1m, besides the horizontal distance
