Hawke Optics Frontier Reflex Sight

Hawke Optics is introducing the new Frontier Reflex sight, a reflex red-dot sight built for accuracy, durability and an adaptable mounting system.

Featuring a wide-view optical window, the Frontier is designed for daily carry, competition and duty pistols while being equally at-home on AR-pattern guns and hunting rifles. The sight is available with an RMSc footprint for slimline pistols, Docter or DeltaPoint Pro footprint for full-size pistols and rifles and supplied with a low-profile Weaver/Picatinny base for almost limitless mounting options.

The Frontier Reflex has a tough aluminum body for light weight and a steel outer shroud to protect the optic. The sight uses a 3-MOA red dot with a 10-stage digital brightness control that can be adjusted automatically or by hand with the push of a button for any lighting condition. Manual mode features a 10-stage brightness control including 2 night-vision compatible settings. In auto-brightness mode, an onboard sensor constantly adjusts the dot brightness appropriate for the ambient light.

The Frontier Reflex is equipped with Hawke’s motion activation illumination that preserves battery power, putting the sight into standby mode when no movement is detected for 2 minutes. The instant motion is detected, the sight automatically powers back on. Inside is a high efficiency LED emitter, allowing the Frontier Reflex sight to run on a daylight bright setting for five years on a single battery. The sight is also water and shockproof and is rated for all calibers. A slide-out battery tray with captured retention screw allows easy battery replacement without removing the sight or needing to re-zero.
