The Hawke Vantage 3-9x40mm riflescope delivers reliable magnification and clarity for hunters and shooters who demand consistent performance without premium pricing. This versatile scope handles everything from close-range brush hunting to moderate long-range shots with its proven 3-9x magnification range and 40mm objective lens.
What Makes This Different
The Vantage series stands apart from budget optics through its multi-coated lenses that deliver 91% light transmission and sharp edge-to-edge clarity. The 30/30 duplex reticle provides fast target acquisition with subtension marks calibrated for popular hunting cartridges. Unlike basic scopes that fog in temperature changes, the nitrogen-purged tube maintains clear optics in humid conditions and temperature swings from -20°F to 120°F.
Key Features
- 3-9x variable magnification with 40mm objective lens for versatile range performance
- 30/30 duplex reticle with calibrated subtensions for holdover compensation
- Multi-coated lenses deliver 91% light transmission for bright, clear images

Field testing confirms the Vantage maintains zero through repeated recoil cycles on rifles chambered in .30-06, .308 Winchester, and similar cartridges. The scope tracks accurately through its 60 MOA of total adjustment range, making it suitable for shots from 50 to 300 yards. Hunters appreciate the quick magnification changes from 3x for close shots in thick cover to 9x for precise placement on distant targets.
