Hawke Sport Optics 14222 Vantage IR 3-9x40mm Riflescope HV Reticle

The Hawke Sport Optics Vantage IR 3-9x40mm riflescope transforms rimfire accuracy with precision-engineered optics and ballistically-matched reticle technology. This illuminated scope features dual red/green reticle options specifically calibrated for 22LR high velocity ammunition trajectories.

What Makes This Different

Unlike generic variable scopes, the Vantage IR incorporates a specialized rimfire reticle with holdover points calculated for 22LR ballistics out to extended ranges. The fully multi-coated lens system delivers 91% light transmission while the 1-inch tube construction maintains zero under repeated cycling. Illumination intensity adjusts across 11 brightness settings for optimal reticle visibility in varying light conditions.

Key Features

• 3-9x variable magnification with 40mm objective lens for versatile target engagement
• Illuminated rimfire reticle with red/green options and 11 brightness levels
• 22LR HV-specific holdover points for accurate long-range shooting
• Fully multi-coated optics providing 91% light transmission
• 1-inch tube diameter with standard ring compatibility
• Fast-focus eyepiece with generous eye relief for comfortable shooting
• Nitrogen-filled construction prevents internal fogging

Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking and reliable return-to-zero performance across temperature extremes. The scope handles competitive rimfire disciplines, small game hunting, and precision training scenarios equally well. Waterproof sealing protects internal components during adverse weather conditions while shock-resistant construction withstands rimfire recoil cycles.
