HAWKE VANTAGE IR 4-12X50 RIFLESCOPE

When you need a solid product to do the job you can rely on the Hawke Optics Vantage 4-12x50 AO illuminated rifle scope. This economical scope from Hawke Sport Optics combines many of the features normally found in much pricier scopes. The Hawke Vantage rifle scope series features an upgraded mono-tube chassis for superior strength. This Hawke Optics scope has an etched glass reticle- which is superior to a wire reticle because it's much more precise. That lets you get even more accuracy from your gun. Another way that etched glass reticles are superior to wire reticles is when they're illuminated. The etched ones show the illumination only on the reticle. It looks like the reticle is floating. Wire reticles often have a reflection of the illumination in the objective lens which can be distracting when shooting.
