Hawke XB1 1.5-5x32 Riflescope with Illuminated Reticle
Hawke XB1 riflescope delivers 1.5-5x magnification in a compact 1-inch tube with illuminated red/green reticle. Purpose-built for airguns and rimfire rifles shooting 250-425 fps.
Hawke XB1 Riflescope: Precision Optics for Airgun and Rimfire Shooting
The Hawke XB1 represents a thoughtful approach to optics designed specifically for lower-velocity firearms. This scope recognizes a fundamental truth: airguns and rimfire rifles operate in a different ballistic world than centerfire rifles, and their optics should reflect that reality.
Key Features
- 1.5-5x32mm magnification: A versatile zoom range that balances field of view with target acquisition capability
- 1-inch tube diameter: A standard that ensures compatibility with common mounting systems
- Illuminated XB1 SR reticle: Red and green illumination options for low-light conditions and varied backgrounds
- Purpose-built ballistics: Specifically engineered for projectiles traveling 250-425 fps
Reticle Design
The XB1 SR reticle employs a practical bracketing system with aim points calculated from a 20-yard zero:
- 10-yard aim points extending to 100 yards
- Bracketing marks of 4 or 8 inches at corresponding distances
- 1.5-inch aim marks for precise hold-over calculations
This approach eliminates guesswork and allows shooters to make accurate adjustments across realistic engagement distances.
Why This Matters
Airgun and rimfire ballistics demand specialized reticle designs. The XB1 delivers exactly that—a scope built from the ground up for these platforms, not a centerfire rifle scope pressed into service. For hunters, target shooters, and pest control specialists working with lower-velocity firearms, this is a meaningful advantage.
