Overview

The Hawke Airmax 4-16x50 SF is a first focal plane airgun scope with side focus parallax adjustment, built for the specific recoil behavior of spring and gas piston air rifles.

Airgun scopes need to survive a double-recoil impulse that centerfire scopes never see, which is the main reason a dedicated airgun-rated optic like this exists rather than a repurposed rimfire scope. The side focus (SF) parallax adjustment lets it be dialed in for the closer typical ranges of airgun shooting.
