Hawke

Hawke is a family-owned sport optics company from England that began in its founder's garage and is still run by the same family. Its head office is at Melton near Woodbridge in Suffolk, and a sister company in Fort Wayne, Indiana looks after North America. The range covers riflescopes, airgun scopes, crossbow scopes, red dot and prism sights, laser range finders, binoculars, monoculars, spotting scopes and marine binoculars, plus mounts, bases, bipods, rests and spare parts. Its lines include Frontier, Sidewinder, Endurance, Vantage, Airmax and Nature-Trek. Airgun and airsoft players mostly pick up the Airmax scopes and the compact red dots and prism sights. Hawke sells through dealers and appointed national distributors across many countries, and also runs its own web shop for buyers in the UK.
