Overview
Not a fixed-power optic, the Vantage IR zooms across a range on a one-inch aluminum tube. A glass-etched Mil Dot reticle lights up in red or green. Turrets are capped and low profile, and the eyebell focuses fast.
Illumination is the headline: the reticle stays readable in dim timber or at dusk, and it can be switched off for daylight. The warranty is described two ways, so confirm which one applies before relying on it.
Who it's for
Field shooters who work in low light and want a waterproof scope for changing weather are the audience. Precision target shooters who dial adjustments often will want exposed turrets, which this scope does not have.
Pros and cons
- Reticle lit in red and green
- Waterproof, shockproof, fogproof
- Fully multi-coated lenses
- High torque zoom ring
- Mount rings not clearly listed
- Warranty wording conflicts
- Eye relief not listed
Performance notes
Nitrogen purging stops internal fogging and the sealed tube handles wet weather and recoil. Coatings on every lens surface raise light transmission at dusk, and the dual-color illumination lets the user pick the color that reads best against the background.

The specs list a 1 year limited warranty, while the seller copy mentions the Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty. The two differ, so confirm before buying.

Can the reticle be turned off?
