Hawke Vantage IR 6-24×50 AO

Description

Hawke Vantage IR 6-24×50 AO Product description

• Illuminated Mil Dot Reticle for Precision at Extended Range: The Mil Dot IR reticle provides evenly spaced mil dots along both axes for holdovers, wind corrections, and rough ranging. The reticle is illuminated in red and green across 5 brightness levels with off positions between each step, allowing the shooter to select the colour and intensity that best suits the current target background and ambient light conditions.
• 24× Maximum Magnification with Adjustable Objective: The 6–24× magnification range provides the image scale needed for precise shot placement and target identification at extended distances. The adjustable objective (AO) ring corrects parallax from 14 metres to infinity — particularly useful at higher magnification levels where parallax error is more apparent and can affect point of aim.
• Lightweight 1-Inch Mono-Tube: The 1-inch aluminium mono-tube keeps overall weight to 625 g, making this a practical choice for shooters who need higher magnification without the additional weight of a larger tube diameter. Standard 1-inch diameter ensures broad compatibility with widely available ring mounts across all price points.
• H2 Optical System with 50mm Objective: The H2 optical system with 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses and 50mm objective delivers a clear, bright image across the magnification range. An exit pupil of 8.3 mm at 6× provides adequate image brightness at minimum magnification in varied lighting conditions.
• Capped Low-Profile Resettable Turrets: The capped, low-profile, resettable turrets offer 60 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment in ¼ MOA click increments, protecting the zero from accidental movement during carry while allowing straightforward adjustment when re-zeroing is needed.

About the Vantage Series

The Hawke Vantage series is the broadest riflescope lineup in Hawke’s product range, built on the H2 optical system and covering a wide variety of tube diameters, magnification ranges, and reticle configurations at an accessible price point. The range is designed for hunters, target shooters, and recreational shooters who require a reliable, versatile optic without the cost associated with higher-tier optical systems.

All Vantage models feature 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses delivering consistent light transmission and a wide-angle field of view. The lineup spans standard 1-inch, 30mm, and 34mm mono-tube chassis, covering first and second focal plane optics, adjustable objective and side focus parallax variants, illuminated and non-illuminated reticles, and a broad selection of reticle designs. The Vantage IR AO sub-series uses a 1-inch tube with an adjustable objective parallax ring and capped, low-profile turrets, providing a compact and lightweight illuminated riflescope platform for a range of shooting disciplines.

About the Model (Hawke Vantage IR 6-24×50 AO Mil Dot IR)

The Hawke Vantage IR 6-24×50 AO Mil Dot IR is a second focal plane riflescope designed for target shooters, varminters, and hunters who need higher magnification and a mil dot reference system for holdovers and corrections at varying distances. The 6–24× magnification range provides a 4× zoom ratio starting from a moderate 6×, with a field of view of 5 metres at 100 metres at minimum power — appropriate for target identification at medium to longer distances — while the 24× upper end provides the image resolution needed for precise shot placement and target reading at extended ranges.

The 50mm objective lens, combined with the H2 optical system and 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses, delivers a clear, bright image across the magnification range. An exit pupil of 8.3 mm at 6× supports adequate image brightness in low-light conditions at minimum magnification. The 90mm of eye relief is compatible with a range of centrefire and rimfire platforms.

The Mil Dot IR reticle provides evenly spaced mil dot reference points for holdover estimation and rough ranging. As a second focal plane reticle, the dot spacings correspond to their stated MRAD values at a specific magnification setting. The reticle is illuminated in red and green with 5 brightness levels and off positions between each step. The adjustable objective (AO) ring corrects parallax from 14 metres to infinity. The capped, low-profile, resettable turrets provide 60 MOA of elevation and windage adjustment in ¼ MOA click increments. The fast-focus eyebell allows rapid dioptre adjustment. The mono-tube is nitrogen purged and fully sealed, providing waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance rated for all calibres. Overall length is 395 mm and weight is 625 g.
