The Hawke Vantage HD 30 4-16x50 SFP IR .223/.308 Marksman is a versatile rifle scope built to deliver impressive performance without the premium price tag. Designed for shooters who want dependable accuracy across a wide range of disciplines, it combines Hawke’s H2 optical system, 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses and a generous 50mm objective lens to provide bright, clear images with strong light transmission and a wide field of view.
Built around a robust 30mm monotube chassis, this scope is made to handle demanding use in the field. It is nitrogen purged, shockproof, waterproof and fog proof, giving you confidence in all weather conditions. The 3.5 inch eye relief adds comfort and safety, while the fast-focus ocular and side focus adjustment from 10 yards to infinity allow quick, precise image correction and parallax adjustment.
A standout feature is the illuminated .223/.308 Marksman reticle, a Hawke-exclusive design created for straightforward holdover shooting. Calibrated for both .223/5.56 and .308, the reticle is intended for use at 16x magnification with a 100-yard zero, providing bullet drop compensation in 100-yard increments out to 700 yards. For metric shooters, it can also be used with a 100m zero at 13.7x magnification. With 5 levels of red and green illumination controlled by a stepped rheostat, the central aiming point remains clear in a range of lighting conditions.
The 4-16x magnification range makes this model well suited to everything from shorter-range work through to longer-distance shooting, while the exposed, locking and resettable elevation and windage turrets offer reliable adjustment with a 1/4 MOA click value and up to 95 MOA of travel. Hawke also includes a removable XL zoom throw lever, making magnification changes faster and easier, especially when shooting in gloves or under pressure.
Supplied with lens covers, lens cloth, hex key, CR2032 battery, zoom throw lever, instruction manual and box, the Vantage HD 30 is ready to go straight out of the box. Backed by the Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty, it is a strong choice for shooters wanting a capable, durable and affordable optic.
