The Hawke Airmax 30 SF Compact 3-12x40 AMX IR rifle scope is expertly engineered for airgun enthusiasts seeking precision in a streamlined design.
This SFP model keeps the reticle visually consistent across magnification, making it simple and intuitive for air rifle shooting.
Featuring the advanced H2 optical system, it delivers sharp, bright images through 16-layer fully multi-coated lenses that maximise light transmission. The scope’s 30mm mono-tube chassis ensures durability and strength while remaining lightweight and compact, perfect for versatile field use.
Designed with airgun shooters in mind, the AMX IR reticle offers multiple precise aim points based on mil-dot spacing, allowing for accurate holdovers even with loopy trajectories.
The half mil-dot spacing on the lower post and strategically placed horizontal bars enhance multi range shot accuracy and bracketing. The scope’s six-level red illumination is controlled by a stepped rheostat, providing adjustable brightness with off positions for seamless low-light operation.
Additional features include capped target turrets for protected yet precise adjustments, side focus parallax correction from 10 yards to infinity, and a high torque zoom ring that enables smooth magnification changes from 3 to 12 times.
The fast-focus eyebell allows quick reticle clarity adjustment, while the generous field of view, ranging from 43.7 to 10.9 feet at 100 yards, offers excellent situational awareness.
Built to withstand recoil from all calibres, this scope is nitrogen purged, shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof, ensuring reliable performance in any condition. The Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty guarantees enduring quality and peace of mind.

AMX RETICLE:
Both the AMX and AMX IR glass etched reticles are based on the spacing of a 10x Mil-Dot. The AMX offers multiple aim points, useful when shooting air guns with loopy trajectories.
Half Mil Dot spacing on the lower post provides increased aim points for long shots.
The horizontal bars are calculated 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.

Q: Is this scope specifically designed for air rifles?
Yes. This model is part of Hawke’s Airmax air rifle range and is designed around typical airgun distances, pellet trajectories and recoil characteristics. It is not a centrefire scope repurposed for airguns.
Q: What does Second Focal Plane (SFP) mean in practice?
With an SFP reticle, the reticle stays the same visual size as magnification changes. This gives a clean, consistent sight picture and is often preferred by airgunners who want simple, predictable aiming at different zoom levels.
Q: How close can the scope focus?
The side focus/parallax adjustment allows precise focusing and parallax correction at close 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 holdover references for pellet drop and wind at air rifle distances. It’s designed to give usable aiming points without cluttering the sight picture.
Q: Does the illumination affect precision?
No. The illumination is designed to improve reticle visibility in mixed or low-light conditions without overpowering the target. The reticle remains etched on the glass and usable with illumination turned off.
Q: Why choose the compact version?
The compact design keeps weight and overall length down, which helps maintain balance on lighter air rifles and bullpup-style setups while still offering a useful 3–12× magnification range.
Q: Is this suitable for Field Target or range shooting?
Yes. The close-range parallax adjustment, usable magnification range and AMX holdover marks make it suitable for Field Target-style shooting, general range use and hunting where permitted.
Q: Can this scope be used on rimfire or centrefire rifles?
While it can be mounted on other rifles, this model is optimised for air rifle use. The reticle layout and parallax range are tuned for airgun distances and pellet ballistics.
Q: Who is this scope best suited for?
Air rifle shooters who want:
-
A compact, well-balanced optic
-
Simple SFP reticle behaviour
-
Close-range parallax control
-
Clear holdover marks for pellet drop
-
A purpose-built airgun scope rather than a generic rifle optic
Summary
A compact, purpose-built air rifle scope with simple SFP reticle behaviour, close-range side focus and practical holdover marks for everyday airgun shooting.
