The Hawke Sport Optics 14223 Vantage IR Riflescope is a 1" tube, 3-9x40mm optic designed for rimfire accuracy with an illuminated Red/Green Rimfire 22LR Subsonic reticle. This scope features Hawkes registered reticle design and a bullet drop compensating (BDC) aim point system calculated for specific calibers, delivering easy zeroing and outstanding downrange precision with illuminated aiming points for all lighting conditions. Distances are etched into the reticle field of view and optimized for use at maximum magnification, while the 9x setting at 50 yards provides a reliable zero with BDC references that extend in 25-yard increments out to 200 yards, making it ideal for .22 LR ammunition in the 3840 grain range traveling approximately 10401090 fps. The optics are fully multi-coated to maximize clarity, with a fixed parallax and a comfortable 3.50" eye relief, weighing about 15.20 oz and offering a 3912.70 ft/100 yd field of view. While the scope can support a 50 m zero with metric aim points when set to 7.9x magnification, its combination of robust build, precise etched reticle, and illuminated reticle options enhances performance for casual plinking, small game, and precision rimfire shooting alike.
