Overview
The Hawke Vantage 30 WA is a 1-8x24 low power variable riflescope built on a 30mm mono-tube, with an illuminated L4A Dot reticle on the second focal plane. It's aimed at close to mid-range shooting across both hunting and tactical use.
An H2 optical system with 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses is what Hawke points to for light transmission and image clarity, paired with multi-stage red and green illumination for low light conditions. The scope is nitrogen purged against fogging and backed by Hawke's no-fault lifetime warranty, which covers damage regardless of cause, short of loss, theft or cosmetic wear.
- 30mm mono-tube construction
- 11-layer fully multi-coated H2 optical system
- Capped, resettable turrets with 1/2 MOA clicks
- High-torque zoom ring with removable lever
Who it's for
Hunters and shooters who want one scope across close and mid-range distances, with fast magnification changes handled by a high-torque zoom ring and removable lever. Long-range precision shooters wanting a first focal plane reticle should look elsewhere, since the L4A Dot's subtensions are only calibrated at 4x.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Wide 1-8x24 zoom range for close and mid-range shooting
- Illuminated red/green L4A Dot reticle
- Nitrogen purged, waterproof, fogproof, shockproof
- Backed by Hawke's no-fault lifetime warranty
- Reticle subtensions only calibrated at 4x, not across the full zoom range
- No rating or review data available yet
Performance notes
Because the L4A Dot reticle sits on the second focal plane, its stated subtensions (30 inches of spacing at 100 yards) only hold true at 4x magnification, not across the full 1-8x range, which matters if you plan to hold over rather than just aim center. Capped, resettable turrets with 1/2 MOA clicks and a knurled zoom ring with a removable lever are built for adjustments made quickly in the field rather than fine-tuned from a bench.
