Hawke Airmax 30 FFP 4-16x50 SF (AMX IR) Reticle 30mm Rifle Scope
Designed for Air Rifles
- First Focal Plane (FFP) AMX IR reticle - The reticle scales with magnification, so holdover marks remain accurate when changing zoom — useful when compensating for pellet drop.
- H2 optical system with 16-layer fully multi-coated lenses delivers exceptional clarity and light transmission.
- 30mm mono-tube chassis, fully shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof for maximum durability in any conditions.
- 1/10 MRAD capped target turrets provide accurate, repeatable adjustments with clear tactile feedback.
- Side focus parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity, with a removable side wheel for fine control.
- Wide field of view (32.5–8.1ft at 100 yards) and six-level red illumination enhance target acquisition and low-light performance.
The Hawke Airmax 30 FFP 4-16x50 SF (AMX IR) rifle scope is designed specifically for airgun use, combining cutting-edge optics with rugged reliability. Built around Hawke’s advanced H2 optical system, it delivers superb clarity and resolution across a wide magnification range of 4–16x, making it ideal for both close-range precision and extended-distance shooting.
With a large 50mm objective lens and 16-layer fully multi-coated lenses, this scope provides exceptional light transmission and image sharpness. Its robust 30mm mono-tube chassis ensures strength and stability under heavy recoil, and the entire unit is nitrogen-purged, shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof, guaranteeing performance in all conditions.
The first focal plane (FFP) AMX IR reticle, designed specifically for FFP optical systems, maintains accurate mil-spacing at all magnifications. With multiple aim points, half mil-dot spacing, and precise 1/10 MRAD capped target turrets, the system enables accurate elevation and windage adjustments, where every ten clicks equal exactly one mil shift on the reticle.
This is particularly useful for air rifle shooters who regularly change magnification when adjusting for pellet drop.
The wide field of view, ranging from 32.5ft to 8.1ft at 100 yards (10.8m to 2.7m at 100m) and 6.2° to 1.5°, enhances target acquisition and situational awareness, especially important when scanning for moving or multiple targets.
The side focus system with a removable side wheel allows parallax-free shooting from 10 yards to infinity, and the fast-focus eyebell paired with a high-torque zoom ring ensures smooth, precise adjustments on the fly.
Six levels of red reticle illumination are controlled via a stepped rheostat with off positions between each setting, allowing quick and easy brightness adjustment in changing light.
All calibre rated and supported by the Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty, the Airmax 30 FFP 4-16x50 SF offers exceptional performance and durability for the dedicated airgun shooter.

FFP AMX IR RETICLE:
The FFP AMX IR reticle was developed specifically for first focal plane optical systems and based around the common principles of mil spaced reticles.
The FFP AMX IR offers multiple aim points, useful when shooting at longer distances. Half Mil Dot spacing on the lower post provides increased aim points for long shots. The horizontal bars are positioned at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 Mil spacing. Hollow posts are segmented into Mil spacing and can be used for bracketing.
The mil spaced reticle and 1⁄10 MRAD turrets make for easy point of aim adjustment. Every 10 clicks on the turret will measure exactly 1 mil spacing on the reticle, also known as 1 MRAD. Because of FFP, this is true on all magnifications.

Q: Is this scope specifically designed for air rifles?
Yes. This model is part of Hawke’s Airmax air rifle series and is designed around typical airgun distances, trajectories and recoil characteristics. It is not a centrefire scope repurposed for airguns.
Q: What does First Focal Plane (FFP) mean for air rifle shooting?
With an FFP reticle, the holdover marks scale with magnification. This means your pellet drop holds remain accurate whether you’re at low or high zoom, which is particularly useful for airgunners who vary magnification to suit distance and target size.
Q: How close can the scope focus?
The side focus/parallax adjustment allows sharp focus and parallax correction at short air rifle distances, making it suitable for close-range zeroing and typical airgun shooting ranges as well as longer shots.
Q: What is the AMX reticle designed for?
The AMX reticle provides clear, usable holdover and wind reference marks laid out for air rifle trajectories. It supports consistent aiming without cluttering the sight picture.
Q: Does the reticle illumination affect precision?
No. The illumination is designed to highlight the aiming point in mixed or low light without overpowering the target or obscuring fine detail. The reticle remains etched on the glass and usable with illumination switched off.
Q: Is this suitable for Field Target or general range shooting?
Yes. The combination of FFP reticle scaling, close-range parallax adjustment and fine holdover references makes it suitable for Field Target-style shooting, general range work and hunting where permitted.
Q: What is the benefit of the 30mm tube?
The 30mm main tube provides increased internal adjustment range and mechanical stability compared to smaller tubes, supporting repeatable tracking when making corrections.
Q: Can this be used on rimfire or centrefire rifles?
A "Yes, but" - While it can physically be mounted on rimfire or centrefire rifles, this model is designed and optimised for air rifle use. Its reticle layout and parallax range are tuned for airgun distances and pellet trajectories.
Q: Who is this scope best suited for?
Air rifle shooters who want:
-
Accurate holdovers at any magnification
-
Close-range parallax control
-
A clear, usable reticle for varied distances
-
A purpose-built airgun optic rather than a generic rifle scope
Summary
A purpose-built air rifle scope with an FFP reticle and close-range side focus, designed for consistent holds and precise shot placement across typical airgun distances.
- Hawke Worldwide Warranty.
