The Hawke Vantage IR 3-9×50, featuring the popular L4A Dot reticle, is an ideal choice for hunters who value excellent low-light light transmission and German-style optical quality at an affordable price.
Key Features and Benefits
Large 50mm objective lens: Provides exceptional light gathering, ensuring a clear and bright image even in poor lighting conditions—such as at dawn, dusk, or in twilight.

H2 optical system: Advanced Hawke optics guarantee excellent contrast and clarity across the entire magnification range.
Illuminated L4A Dot reticle (2.5 MOA): A modification of the classic L4 reticle featuring wider spacing between the side posts, ensuring the target remains unobstructed. The reticle offers red and green illumination (with 5 intensity levels each) for convenient aiming.
Low-profile capped turrets: Prevent accidental adjustment changes when moving through dense brush or carrying the firearm in a case.
1-inch (25.4mm) mono-tube chassis: Features a robust construction capable of reliably withstanding heavy recoil.
11-layer fully multi-coated lenses: Maximize light transmission and minimize reflections. Reliability in all weather conditions
Complete sealing: Nitrogen-purged housing prevents internal lens fogging due to temperature or humidity changes.
Durability: Waterproof, shockproof, and fogproof; rated for all calibers.
Hawke unconditional warranty: A lifetime manufacturer’s warranty ensures complete peace of mind.
