Hawke Vantage HD 2-7x32 AO, Mil-Dot IR, 1/4 MOA, 1"

Excellent build quality

Nothing

I like the IR. No I don’t always use it, but when I need it, it’s there and a great feature - worth the added cost.

So far I have two different Hawke scopes and a Hawke red dot. Completely satisfied with all three.

Etched glass reticle, Calibrated( reticle, turrets, AO). Smooth AO and eye bell. Crisp turret clicks. Repeatable actions.

Anything I would change, the Hawke AMX 2-7x32 has changed. Love them both except the scope caps.

Mil dot value 7x@50yrd -true
1st mil- 2.6"
2nd mil-5.2"
3rd mil-7.8"
4th mil-10.4"

Clear optics and reticle. The packaging and owners manual are well done and of high quality. I have several Hawke scopes mounted on springers and feel they meet my needs quite well for optical clarity and durability.

The brightness adjustment control is difficult to turn. I see other reviewers have commented on this too, so it is not just my scope.

I tried the illuminated reticle at different brightness settings and found it of marginal usefulness. I shoot outdoors exclusively and even on dull, overcast days I am not sure the IR is a useful feature. I shoot at bullseye targets and small reactive targets like empty shotgun hulls. A non-illuminated reticle has always been adequate. Maybe if you are hunting in limited light the IR might be helpful. But for outdoor target shooting I would not buy another scope with IR.

This is a wonderful eyepiece for shooting short ranges. Very clear and has a very large range of adjustability.

The warranty on this scope is wonderful. It is a well built piece.

Everything. It's a great scope.

Perfect fit for my 22 cal P-rod.

I like the price and the physical size of the scope. The turrets adjust easily. It was available. The clearness of the glass I guess is about par on this price point, but it is not as clear as a over 25 year old RWS 4X it is replacing. I could have done without the illuminated reticle for +/- $50.00 less, but this was the one they had at the time.

The adjustable objective, the power setting and the illuminated reticle controls are stiff and hard to turn. For somebody needing to adjust the objective often over a course of fire, you should go looking for one easier to turn. Or hope it becomes easier with use.

I installed this on a .22LR rifle, so I have no idea how well it would (could) perform on an airgun.

The clarity, quality, size, weight, etched reticle,...

If you could make this a side focus without increasing size, weight and price, I would like that. Otherwise, don't bother.

I have one of these. I have given it the coveted 3R (RidgeRunner Recommended) rating. Unless you are shooting 100+ yards, this is all you really need. The clarity is incredible.

The only negative for this scope is it will not take what the uber magnum sproingers dish out. I am trying mine out right now on my Webley/Hatsan Tomahawk in a Diana ZR mount. It is not broken yet (fingers crossed). If the ZR mount delivers in the accuracy department, I will be tickled pink.

That it works great.

Nothing. It works just fine. I just wish they made scopes like this with more magnification.

Theb fuel shoots 13 to 14 ftlbs depending on the pellet. Been using it on an umarex fuel for about 5 years now. Won the fuel at the pyramydair cup. Dropped this scope on it and never had a problem since. Shooting 2inch spinner out to 60 yards. My nefew uses this rifle and at the time he was 7 and hitting everything. There was a time we had 1 inch spinners out to 35 yards and we wer smoking them to. Nothing wrong with this scope.

Good durable scope,clarity is good.

I wish they sold this scope without the green and red Lighted reticle for $50 less

Gauntlet .25 with a couple hundred rounds threw it and the scope holds trew.

Love it! Good bang for the buck! IR option works well.

The eye relief is a little sensitive.
