Overview

A 4-12x40 illuminated riflescope built for .17 HMR rimfire rifles, bundled with a set of 1-inch Weaver two-piece medium rings for mounting.

Hawke's Vantage line targets rimfire shooters with red and green illumination across five brightness levels and 1/4 MOA click adjustments on low-profile turrets.

  • 4-12x40 magnification range for rimfire use
  • Bundled with 1-inch 2-piece Weaver medium rings
  • Red and green illuminated reticle, five brightness levels
  • Low-profile, no-snag turrets with 1/4 MOA clicks

Who it's for

Rimfire shooters mounting a scope on a .17 HMR rifle who want illumination and don't need magnification beyond 12x. Less suited to shooters wanting a scope rated for centerfire recoil or extreme long range.

Pros and cons

Cons
  • Adjustable objective was stiff on arrival for at least one buyer
  • One buyer initially thought rings were missing before finding them packaged separately in the box

Performance notes

Multi-coated optics and the red and green illuminated reticle are aimed at low light shooting, with one reviewer noting the adjustable objective was stiff out of the box but freed up after a few shots and held its adjustments afterward. Another reviewer who sighted in at 50 yards reported the bullet drop points stayed accurate through 250 yards.
