Hawke Vantage IR 4-12x50mm L4A Dot Illuminated Reticle SFP Riflescope – 14254
Designed for long-range shooting, especially in low-light conditions, the Hawke Sports Optics 4-12×50 Vantage Riflescope boasts a large 50mm objective to scoop more light for effective use at dawn and dusk, or in heavily canopied areas. To further improve the scope’s performance, all of its optical surfaces are fully multi-coated to boost light transmission and improve color fidelity, contrast, and overall image brightness. A large objective also helps to produce a comfortable exit pupil so that when the eye dilates in low-light the entire field of view is easy to see without having to move your eye or head to see the whole scene.
The 2nd focal plane L4A Dot Illuminated Reticle is etched onto the glass to prevent fading or shifting. It introduces a modified German 4 reticle style, with its three medium posts and an ultra-fine crosshair. At the center it fancies a 3.5 MOA (at 4x) brilliant red target dot for making precise alignments with targets. Furthermore, the reticle’s parallax is fixed at 100 yards and offers five selectable center dot brightness levels in either red or green so it can be customized for most lighting and weather conditions. Red is ideal for low-light conditions or in areas with a very green background where a green reticle can get lost; while green light is easier to see in bright sunlight versus red. Covered turrets help guard against accidental adjustments while a fast-focus collar and knurled rheostat allow you to quickly adapt to rapidly changing situations. Complementing the performance of the scope is a lightweight and durable aluminum housing with a 1″ one-piece maintube that is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof.
