Top-tier optics in a compact body
The Hawke Frontier ED X 15–35×56 is built for those who want the highest-quality image in a compact, easily portable spotting scope. The adjustable 15–35x zoom allows for comfortable viewing of objects at both medium and long range, making the scope ideal for checking shot placement on targets at the range, as well as for birdwatching, wildlife observation, and nature and landscape viewing. Its compact size makes it easy to carry with you at all times — it fits easily into a backpack without taking up much space.
Brightness and color accuracy
The scope uses ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to reduce chromatic aberration and increase image detail, while lanthanum eyepiece elements improve light transmission and contrast. The BAK-4 roof prism with phase correction ensures a bright, high-contrast, and highly detailed image, maintaining natural colors from the center of the field of view right to the edges. Wide-angle optics and a flat-field view allow you to comfortably observe a larger portion of the surroundings without losing image quality. The broadband, anti-reflective, fully multi-coated optical system transmits more light and reduces unwanted glare. As a result, the image stays bright, sharp, and clear even in the early morning, in the evening, or on overcast days.
Ease of use
The smooth-operating body focus ring allows for quick and precise image focusing, while the rotating eyecup ensures comfortable viewing both with and without glasses. The compact body doesn’t take up much space in a backpack, making the scope easy to bring along on trips, hikes, or hunts. The scope is nitrogen-purged, making it waterproof and fogproof, ensuring reliable performance in a variety of weather conditions. The included Arca-Swiss tripod adapter allows the scope to be quickly attached to a compatible tripod, while the non-removable protective case and lens caps help protect the optics during transport and outdoor use.
