Description
Hawke Optics has taken care of the owners of rifles of one of the most common calibers .22LR (5.6x15.6 mm R), creating for them optics with a special Rimfire .22 LR HV reticle. The new series of Hawke Vantage IR optical sights is now even more resistant to powerful recoil and is recommended for installation on firearms and air rifles of any caliber. The Hawke Vantage IR 3-9x40 (Rimfire .22 LR HV R/G) sight has a monolithic body made of aircraft aluminum, an engraved reticle with red and green illumination, a fast focusing system and a very smooth and precise mechanism for changing the magnification. Each optical surface has eleven layers of anti-reflective coating to transmit high-quality images. Hawke Vantage IR is a new standard of quality in its price category.
The main characteristic of any sight is the quality of optics. Hawke Vantage IR sights are optical devices with high quality optics. All optical surfaces (achromatic objective, eyepiece and reversing system) are covered with 11 layers of anti-reflective coating, which greatly reduces light loss during reflection and provides high resolution of the target image.
The shockproof body is made of lightweight and durable aluminum alloy. Both the outside and the inside of the body are covered with a matte black coating using anodizing, which does not wear off, does not scratch and provides excellent performance characteristics. All moving parts of the body have a profiled knurling, due to which adjusting the sight even in thick winter gloves will not be a problem.
The body is sealed, protected from water ingress and filled with dry nitrogen to prevent fogging of the optics from the inside due to temperature changes.
The scopes have a pre-set parallax setting of 100 yards (91 m) at the factory. The Fast Focus focusing system on the eyepiece is provided for quick focusing on the target.
Low-profile vertical and horizontal adjustment drums are equipped with a special beryllium spring, preventing the aiming reticle from "drifting". The drums have a click value of 0.25 MOA. They are hidden under low aluminum covers. Next to the adjustment drums there is a rheostat for adjusting the brightness and switching the color of the aiming mark illumination.
Rimfire .22 LR High Velocity is a special reticle developed by Hawke Optics for small and medium game hunters. The reticle is highly specialized for rifles firing .22 LR rimfire cartridges (5.6 caliber) with a muzzle velocity of 385 m/s, with a sight installation height of 45 mm. The reticle has a Duplex crosshair with special markings, thanks to which you can conduct aimed shooting in 25-yard increments. Having once sighted in the sight at a distance of 50 yards, with the help of this reticle you can easily determine the trajectory of the bullet at a distance of up to 200 yards. Thus, the maximum range of calculating the trajectory of the bullet is similar to the effective shooting range of the .22 LR cartridge. The parameters of this reticle are correct at a maximum magnification of 9x. This reticle is extremely simple and convenient and can also be successfully used for shooting from an air gun. The free X-ACT ballistic calculator, located on the manufacturer's website, will allow you to customize the grid for a specific weapon and projectile type.
You can visually evaluate the ease of use of the aiming reticle directly on the manufacturer's website.
A significant advantage is that the grid is engraved on a glass plate. This provides almost 100% protection of the grid from the destructive effect of the multi-vector recoil of spring-piston pneumatics.
An important point is the presence of a two-color illumination of the aiming grid. The red illumination is brighter and is more convenient to use in the daytime and evening. At night, the green color, which is less irritating to the eyes, provides clear contours of the aiming mark and does not illuminate the plane of observation. Each of the colors has 5 degrees of brightness.
