L4A Dot (4x) 2 MOA reticle

A modification of the classic L4 reticle — the L4A Dot uses a more open outer-line design so that as much of the target as possible remains visible while aiming. This provides a clean, uncluttered sight picture and a highly visible 2 MOA center dot for precise shot placement.
Circle Dot (8x) reticle

Designed specifically to help you acquire the target quickly while still-hunting or during driven hunts. Features a bright red center dot and an illuminated circle that allows for instant target acquisition.
Tactical BDC – 5.56 (8x) reticle

Exclusive to Hawke products, the Tactical BDC – 5.56 (8x) reticle adapts to your bullet’s trajectory, providing highly practical aiming points for AR-platform carbines and pistols. This reticle is built specifically around 5.56 (.223 Rem) caliber ballistics, making bullet-drop compensation more precise than ever before.
