A first focal plane 4-16x50 with a glass-etched Half Mil Dot reticle that holds true subtensions at every magnification. Side focus down to 10 yards, 1/10 MRAD locking turrets and five-level illumination make it a practical choice for shooters who range and hold off rather than dial.

Description

Key Features:

  • First focal plane 4-16x50 optical system keeps reticle subtensions true at any magnification

  • 1/10 MRAD click value with ten clicks measuring exactly one mil on the reticle

  • Exposed locking turrets that resist accidental adjustment in the field

  • Side focus parallax from 10 yards to infinity, covering close airgun ranges and beyond

  • Five-level red and green illumination for low light and dark backgrounds

  • 30mm aluminium mono-tube chassis, nitrogen purged and rated for all calibres

  • 745 g and 348 mm long, so budget for a solid mount and adequate ring height

First focal plane scopes solve one problem well. The reticle grows and shrinks with the image, so a mil is a mil whether you are on 4x or 16x. That matters if you range targets off the reticle or hold off for wind rather than dialling, which is how a good deal of airgun and rimfire shooting actually gets done.

The Half Mil Dot reticle here is glass etched, with half mil markings running out past 5 mils in every direction and hollow posts segmented into mil and 0.2 mil increments for bracketing. It pairs with 1/10 MRAD turrets, so ten clicks moves exactly one mil on the glass, at any power setting. Illumination runs to five levels in red and green on a stepped rheostat, enough to lift the centre of the reticle off a dark hedge without blooming.

Optically it is Hawke's H2 system: 11 layer fully multi-coated lenses, a wide angle field of view of 32.5 feet at 100 yards on 4x, and side focus that racks down to 10 yards. That close parallax figure is the reason this scope turns up on so many PCPs. Eye relief sits at a consistent 90 mm.

Be realistic about the trade offs. At 745 g and 348 mm this is not a light scope, and the 30mm mono-tube wants mounts to match. The 4x bottom end is workable rather than generous for close woodland work. What you get in return is 26 MRAD of elevation travel, exposed locking turrets that stay where you put them, and a chassis that is nitrogen purged, shockproof and calibre agnostic.

Sensible glass for a sub-12 PCP or a rimfire where holdover and ranging matter more than dialling a turret, and it carries the Hawke no-fault lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as the Hawke Vantage 30 WA SF 4-16x50?

No, and the naming trips people up. Both have side focus (SF) and both use a Half Mil Dot reticle. The difference is the focal plane. This is the first focal plane version, so the reticle scales with magnification and subtensions stay true at any power. The SFP model holds its reticle at a fixed size, and its mil spacing is only accurate on 10x.

What range is a 4-16x50 good for?

Magnification does not set your range, the calibre does. What the scope contributes is 26 MRAD of elevation travel, side focus parallax from 10 yards to infinity, and a reticle that ranges and holds off at any power. In practice that covers everything from close airgun work out to the limits of a rimfire or light centrefire.

Will it suit a sub-12 ft lb air rifle?

Optically yes. The 10 yard close parallax is the reason these turn up on so many PCPs, and an FFP reticle earns its keep when you are holding over at varying magnification rather than dialling. The caveat is mass. At 745 g this is a heavy scope, and on a light rifle it will change the balance noticeably.

Is it covered by a warranty?

Yes. Hawke's No-Fault Lifetime Warranty applies, which covers accidental damage rather than manufacturing defects alone.
