Hawke Sport Optics Hawke Vantage 3-9x50 AO Rifle Reviews
Tell us what you think
With the Adjustable Objective (AO) properly focused, this scope provides a remarkably clear view of the target at all of the ranges I have tried so far. The image of the target is clear and bright from edge to edge. The reticle is in crisp focus after only a small adjustment of the eyepiece focus ring. At higher power settings, this scope provide more target details than did the older, good quality, fixed four power AO scope it replaced. This makes target shooting at 20 yards more fun because I can see target hits more easily through this scope.
At higher magnifications, it is necessary to position your eye carefully to see the entire image of the target. This may be unavoidable in this price range. An Aeon it is not.
This scope replaced the original four power, AO scope on my RWS Diana 34 that failed to respond to vertical adjustments after 20 years of faithful service. Optically, this scope appears just as crisp and clear as the one it replaced even at twice the magnification.
It's a nice clear scope.
Crosshairs are too thick for target shooting.
Good clear scope for plinking,hunting, and good price.

Alot of quality features at an affordable price point! The optics are very clear. Great eye relief. And the fit and finish is fantastic! The Hawke brand is my goto for quality optics I can depend on in the field or at the range
Wouldn't change anything. It's a great scope!

Verified BuyerUnbelievable what a scope fov and the way it picks up the slightest bit of light very good buy
Nothing I can think of at this time
Hawke 3-9x50 I always thought this scope was to big and bulky for a pcp BOY was I wrong the eyes are not what they were several years ago and for the record it completes my walther reign great package
The simple function of the scope is perfect for my basement 10 M range. The covered elevation and windage adjusters are precise and give demonstrable clicks. It mated perfectly with a drooper mount on my new RWD 430L underlever. Please note the energy limit, 12 ft. pds. muzzle energy, or risk scope destruction. The 430L is a 12 pound rifle and it is perfect for it.
Not much to quibble with. The scope is basic and it just plain works. I can see that if one took it to, say, a barn to shoot out feral pigeons, having exterior adjusting knobs for elevation and windage would be helpful. However, in the fixed range of the basement range, the capped adjusters are perfectly adequate since those variables are constant.
Abide by the 12 pound energy limit. Hawke makes this plain for a reason, namely to prevent destruction of the scope internals. The optics are very clear and the mil dot scope really works.
Glass is clear scope focus is good
Nothing
Great value
Great glass. So clear. Good adjustment performance. Looks really good against wood furniture too.
Tougher! My Springer killed a X 40 Vantage.
No Springer's! No pistons! It will live a long happy life if you put it on a PCP.

This scope has a very sharp resolution, from close in, to way out. The variable magnification is easy to adjust, and works well for pests and varmints.
For the money, it would be difficult to do better. My only gripe is maybe the turret caps could be made to tighten and loosen in fewer turns. And honestly that's about all I can come up with.
Be sure to note this has a 50mm objective, you will almost certainly NEED high scope mount rings, but that just means that high capacity magazines will fit most rifles you put this on.
