This Hawke Optics scope has an etched glass reticle which is superior to a wire reticle because it's much more precise. That lets you get even more accuracy from your gun. Another way that etched glass reticles are superior to wire reticles is when they're illuminated. The etched ones show the illumination only on the reticle. It looks like the reticle is floating. Wire reticles often have a reflection of the illumination in the objective lens which can be distracting when shooting.

Installed on my Benjamin Nitro ll 22 cal, major improvement over stock scope. Clear and bright, excellent focus at any magnification level, mill dot spacing very nice. Illuminated reticle is a plus also. My shooting greatly improved, as I'm grouping 1.5" at 50 yrds which is great for me as I'm no marksman. I really like this scope.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Is this acceptable for the Venturi Avenger , and what are rings that aren't included, do I need rings to operate the scope.
asked Victor M from USAIt just doesnt come with scope rings so you gotta pick some out that fit the tube correctly and gives you enough clearance for the objective lens. you need rings to connect your scope to the gun if there are no open sights.
Bryce from USADoes this fit the hatsan blitz Full auto rifle?
asked jimmy from USAYes
Mark from USASpecs say "Suitable for all airguns- firearms and airsoft guns". I thought Hawke only rates their Airmax series for spring piston air guns. Will this scope withstand double recoil spring guns .177-.25 cal.?
asked Ennis from USAThis scope is not rated for high powered spring/gas piston guns. 12 FPE or less.
Mark from USA
I bought the HAWKE VANTAGE 3x9x40 AO scope for my HATSAN EDGE VORTEX rifle.
After mounting the scope and zeroing I"m very satisfied with the clarity and the accuracy of this scope. I made a mount for my I phone on the scope to use as a camera and it works great !! it brings the back yard shooting sessions to a whole new level !!
Pros
great clarity holds a zero lighted reticle good in low light conditions
Cons
none
