Overview
Hawke Vantage HD 30 4-16x50 SF is a 30mm mono-tube hunting riflescope with a 4-16x zoom, side focus parallax adjustment and an illuminated .223/.308 BDC reticle. Built for hunters who want a durable, waterproof optic with a wide adjustment range.
The scope's H2 optical system and 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses aim to keep the image bright as light fades, while the removable zoom lever and locking turrets are built for fast field adjustments without losing zero. The Marksman reticle's etched holdover marks are calibrated specifically for .223 and .308 loads, so accuracy at range depends on shooting one of those cartridges.
- 30mm mono-tube, nitrogen purged, waterproof and fogproof
- 4-16x50 magnification with side focus
- 1/4 MOA turrets, up to 95 MOA elevation and windage travel
- Hawke no-fault lifetime warranty
Who it's for
Hunters shooting .223 or .308 who want a mid-priced scope with side focus parallax and a matched BDC reticle will get the most from this optic. Other calibers will not find the etched holdovers useful.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Side focus parallax correction for precise distance dialing
- Reticle etched with .223/.308 specific holdovers to 700 yards
- Locking resettable turrets protect zero
- Removable zoom lever for fast magnification changes
- Reticle holdovers only apply to .223 and .308 loads
- No stated total weight or length in the listing data
Performance notes
The 11-layer fully multi-coated glass and H2 optical system are built to push more light through the lens for a brighter, higher-contrast sight picture in low light. Side focus parallax correction and a 4x zoom ratio (4-16x) let shooters dial out parallax error at varying distances rather than relying on a fixed setting.
