Hawke Sport Optics 12221 XB1 Riflescope Black 1.5-5x32mm 1" Tube Illuminated Red/Green XB1 SR Reticle

The Hawke Sport Optics XB1 riflescope brings a versatile magnification range and illuminated reticle to hunters and shooters who need flexibility across multiple distances and light conditions. Built around a 1.5-5x32mm configuration in a conventional 1" tube, this scope delivers a practical low-power setting for close to mid-range work and enough magnification for precision at distance. The illuminated red/green XB1 SR reticle adapts to both bright daylight and low-light hunting scenarios, giving you a visible aiming point when it matters.

The 32mm objective lens keeps the scope relatively compact and manageable on a variety of rifle platforms, while maintaining solid light transmission for early morning and late afternoon hunts. Hawke's engineering focuses on delivering reliable optics for working hunters—the kind of gear that performs in the field without unnecessary complexity or premium pricing. Whether you're setting up a general-purpose hunting rifle, a truck gun, or a versatile range rig, the XB1's magnification span covers a lot of common scenarios without forcing you to choose between close-range speed and distant target resolution.

The illuminated reticle system lets you dial in your preferred brightness level for the red or green dot, giving you advantage in changing light without swapping scopes. The XB1 SR reticle pattern is built for practical shooting—fast to acquire, easy to use under pressure, and repeatable for follow-up shots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rifles will this scope fit?

The 1" tube diameter is the industry standard and will mount to any rifle with a standard Weaver or Picatinny rail system. You'll need a quality 1" ring set, which come in various heights depending on your rifle's rail profile—we recommend taking a measurement or consulting your rifle's manual to pick the right height.

Is the illuminated reticle a glass or electronic red dot?

The XB1 uses an illuminated reticle etched into the glass with a light source behind it. You adjust brightness with a dial on the scope body. This is different from a separate red-dot sight and is integrated into the scope's optical path.

Can I use this scope in low light without the illumination?

Yes. You can turn the illumination off or dial it down. The reticle itself is etched glass and will remain visible even when the light is off, though brightness will depend on available ambient light.

What's the power range best suited for?

The 1.5–5x range works well for hunting situations from brush country out to mid-range shooting—typically from 50 to 300+ yards depending on your marksmanship and target size. At 1.5x, the field of view is wide and the eye box forgiving for quick shots; at 5x, you gain enough magnification for precision on smaller targets or longer shots.
