The Hawke Vantage 3-9x50mm riflescope delivers reliable precision for hunters and shooters demanding clear optics at an accessible price point. This versatile scope combines a generous 50mm objective lens with variable 3-9x magnification to handle everything from close-range brush shots to extended field work.
What Makes This Different
The Vantage series stands apart from budget optics through its fully multi-coated lenses and nitrogen-purged construction. Where entry-level scopes often sacrifice light transmission, the 50mm objective paired with quality coatings maintains brightness even in dawn and dusk conditions. The 30/30 duplex reticle provides clean sight pictures without cluttered holdover marks that can obscure targets.
Key Features
- 3-9x variable magnification with 50mm objective lens for superior light gathering
- 30/30 duplex reticle optimized for hunting applications and quick target acquisition
- 1-inch tube diameter compatible with standard ring mounts
- Fully multi-coated lenses maximize light transmission and image clarity
- Nitrogen-purged construction prevents internal fogging
- Fast-focus eyepiece for rapid diopter adjustment
- Waterproof and shockproof housing rated for field conditions
Field performance centers on the scope's ability to maintain zero under recoil while delivering consistent tracking. The 3x zoom range covers most hunting scenarios, from timber work at 3x to open country shots at 9x magnification. Weather sealing keeps internals dry during rain or snow, while the robust construction handles the shock from magnum cartridges and rough handling.
