The Hawke Vantage HD 30 4-16x50 SFP IR Rimfire .22 LR is a versatile, great-value riflescope built for precise rimfire shooting. It features H2 optics with 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses for a bright, clear image, a dedicated illuminated .22 LR BDC reticle for accurate holdovers, and side focus from 10 yards to infinity for sharp parallax correction. Its 30mm monotube chassis, locking resettable turrets, and removable zoom throw lever make it practical, durable, and easy to use in the field.
The Hawke Vantage HD 30 4-16x50 SFP IR Rimfire .22 LR is a versatile riflescope built to deliver premium performance at an accessible price point. Designed for rimfire shooters who want dependable accuracy without overspending, it combines a robust 30mm monotube chassis with clear, bright optics and a practical feature set suited to hunting, target shooting, and general field use.
At the heart of the scope is Hawke’s H2 optical system with 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses, providing excellent light transmission, a crisp sight picture, and a generous wide-angle field of view. The 4-16x magnification range offers flexibility across close to mid-range rimfire shooting, while the 50mm objective lens helps maximise brightness in lower-light conditions. A comfortable 3.5 inch eye relief adds to confidence and ease of use behind the rifle.
This model features an illuminated glass reticle with five red and green brightness levels controlled by a stepped rheostat, giving a sharp central aiming point in a variety of lighting conditions. The dedicated Rimfire .22 LR 16x reticle is specifically designed for .22 LR ammunition, with bullet drop compensation points for accurate holdover. When zeroed at 50 yards, it provides clear aiming references in 25-yard increments out to 200 yards, making it an excellent choice for practical rimfire shooting.
For precise adjustment in the field, the scope is fitted with exposed, locking, resettable elevation and windage turrets with 1/4 MOA click values, along with side focus parallax adjustment from 10 yards to infinity. The supplied XL removable zoom throw lever makes magnification changes quick and easy, especially when speed matters or when shooting with gloves on.
Built for real-world use, the Vantage HD 30 is nitrogen purged, shockproof, waterproof and fog proof, and is backed by the reassurance of the Hawke No-Fault Lifetime Warranty. Supplied with lens covers, lens cloth, CR2032 battery, hex key, instruction manual and zoom throw lever, it is a well-rounded optic that offers serious value for any rimfire setup.
