More from this brandAll Hawke rifle scopesOverview
Hawke makes the Vantage with a glass-etched reticle that lights in red or green, plus fingertip turrets and a fast-focus eyebell. The bundle adds a two-piece Weaver ring set.
The reason to look at it is a ready-to-mount rimfire scope with illumination and a reticle calibrated for that caliber. The limitation is that the aim points assume one bullet speed and the yardages apply at top magnification only.
Who it's for
Small-game hunters and plinkers with a rimfire rifle on Weaver rails can use the bundle as supplied. Shooters on other calibers, or those wanting published eye relief, should check other scopes.
Pros and cons
- Illuminated glass-etched reticle
- Fingertip no-snag turrets
- Fast focus eyebell
- High torque zoom ring
- Eye relief not listed
- Aim points calibrated for one bullet speed
- Yardages valid at top zoom only
- Rimfire use only
Performance notes
The reticle aim points are etched for one rimfire bullet at a set speed, so they match drop only for that load. The yardage marks are meant for use at maximum magnification, and the rheostat changes how bright the reticle shows against the target.
