Overview
The Hawke Vantage IR 4-12x40 AO is a rimfire-focused riflescope with a glass-etched BDC reticle calibrated for .17 HMR and .22 WMR ammunition, plus adjustable objective parallax correction down to 10 yards.
One reviewer's report of a warped, wavy reticle stands out as an isolated but real complaint worth knowing about before the return window closes.
- 4-12x40mm with adjustable objective parallax correction
- Glass-etched BDC reticle for .17 HMR and .22 WMR
- 5-level red and green illumination
- Hawke no-fault lifetime warranty
Who it's for
Suits rimfire shooters running .17 HMR or .22 caliber rifles who want a purpose-built BDC reticle rather than a generic duplex crosshair. Less suited to centerfire hunters who need a scope built around heavier-recoil ballistics from the start.
Pros and cons
- Adjustable objective corrects parallax down to 10 yards
- Backed by Hawke's no-fault lifetime warranty
- Works across several rimfire calibers via Hawke's ballistics app
- One reviewer received a unit with a visibly warped, wavy reticle
- Turret clicks described as soft rather than crisp
- Calibration is rimfire-specific, not built for centerfire ballistics
Performance notes
The adjustable objective corrects parallax from 10 yards to infinity, useful for the closer distances rimfire shooting often involves, and turret clicks are described as audible but somewhat soft.
