The Hawke Vantage IR 3-9×40, featuring the popular Mil Dot IR reticle, is a top choice for hunters who value compactness, simplicity, and impeccable optical quality.
Key Features and Benefits
Versatile 3-9x magnification and 40mm objective lens: Ideal for both quick close-range shooting and precision at medium distances. Its compact size ensures the rifle remains well-balanced.
H2 Optical System: Advanced Hawke optics deliver a sharp, clear, and high-contrast image across the entire magnification range.
Illuminated Mil Dot Reticle: The classic dot-based Mil Dot reticle allows for easy holdover and windage adjustments at varying distances. The glass-etched reticle features red and green illumination (5 levels each) but can also be used without illumination (black reticle).
Low-profile capped turrets: Prevent accidental adjustment changes while moving through forests or dense brush.
1-inch (25.4 mm) mono-tube chassis: Lightweight (only 430 g) yet extremely durable, reliably withstanding recoil.
11-layer Fully Multi-Coated lenses: Ensure maximum light transmission and minimize reflections. Reliability and protection in all weather conditions
Complete sealing: Nitrogen-purged housing prevents internal lens fogging due to temperature or humidity changes.
Durability: Waterproof and shockproof; rated for all calibers.
