The Hawke Vantage IR 3-9x40mm riflescope delivers reliable performance for slug gun and muzzleloader hunters who demand precision at varying distances. This illuminated scope features dual red/green reticle options specifically calibrated for heavy projectile trajectories. The 1-inch tube construction provides consistent tracking across the entire magnification range.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard deer rifle scopes, the Vantage IR incorporates ballistic compensation marks designed for the unique flight characteristics of slugs and sabots. The illuminated reticle system offers 11 brightness settings with automatic shutoff to preserve battery life. Multi-coated lenses deliver 91% light transmission for clear target acquisition during dawn and dusk hunting periods.

Key Features

  • 3-9x variable magnification with 40mm objective lens for versatile range performance
  • Illuminated red/green reticle with 11 brightness levels plus off positions
  • Specialized slug gun/muzzleloader ballistic reticle for heavy projectile compensation
  • 1-inch aluminum tube construction rated for heavy recoil applications
  • Multi-coated optics providing 91% light transmission
  • Fast-focus eyepiece with 4 inches of eye relief
  • Nitrogen-filled tube prevents internal fogging in temperature extremes
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention through repeated heavy recoil cycles typical of 12-gauge slugs and .50-caliber muzzleloader loads. The scope maintains accuracy across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. Hunters report reliable performance in wet conditions due to the O-ring sealed construction and nitrogen purging.

Technical Specs

  • Magnification: 3-9x with 40mm objective diameter
  • Tube diameter: 1 inch (25.4mm) aluminum construction
  • Eye relief: 4 inches at all magnification settings

This scope addresses the specific challenges of short to medium-range hunting with heavy, slower projectiles. The specialized reticle eliminates guesswork for holdover calculations beyond point-blank range.
