New Hawke Frontier ED X Gen 2 Binoculars

Airgunners need binoculars! So the introduction of Hawke Frontier ED X Gen 2 binoculars is an exciting new development from the UK-based sports optic company.

These follow the Vantage HD34 range of riflescopes that were launched earlier this year.

Highlighted as “Second Generation, First Class Optics” by Hawke, these mid-priced binoculars are available in a range of configurations: 8 x 34, 10 x 34, 8 x 42 and 10 x 42. Street Prices range from $559.00 to $619.00. However Hard Air Community members can receive a 20% discount if they redeem 1,000 HAM Airgun Points to buy them directly from the Hawke online store.

These binos feature high-quality Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass. This is combined with premium Lanthanum ocular (eyepiece) elements, and dielectric coated, phase-corrected, compact BAK-4 roof prisms. These design elements generate bright, sharp images with outstanding light transmission and true-to-life color.

Hawke says that the features enable Frontier ED X Gen 2 models produces bright, sharp images with outstanding light transmission and true-to-life color.

The fully multi-coated optical system and wide-angle optics combine to deliver an immersive, edge-to-edge view. In addition, the 42mm models include additional field flattening lenses to ensure pinpoint sharpness right to the periphery.

All these lenses are carried in a durable magnesium alloy chassis for light weight and durability. Additional features include replaceable twist-up eyecups and wide band, anti-reflection, fully multi-coated lenses with water-repellent coating.

The nitrogen-purged, waterproof build is designed to assure fog-proof glassing in inclement field conditions.

As always with Hawke products, these ED X Gen 2 binoculars are comprehensively equipped. They include a premium case, neck strap and lens covers, plus a carry case strap, harness adapters, protective pouch and lens cleaning cloth.

I'd be willing to bet that these will be one of the best pair of binoculars going for the money spent. I was totally blown away by how good the first generation of these bino's were. They were at the top of the recommendations at birder and binocular review sites, and I suggested them to my brother in law for a trip he was taking. He got them and came over and I spent the better part of an hour comparing them against a pair of Leica Trinovids that I have, it took that long because I didn't want to believe that I actually thought the view was better. The Leica were 20 years older but they were over a $1K when I got them and were top rated, and these were around $400, I think made in China, and I prefered the view. Binoculars are like shoes though, you've got to try them to see if they are right for you.
