The Hawke Airmax 2-7x32 AO (Model 13100) is a specialised optic engineered for airguns and rimfire rifles. Built on a 1-inch (25.4 mm) mono-tube chassis, it features the Hawke H2 optical system with 16-layer fully multi-coated lenses and a glass-etched AMX reticle. Designed specifically to handle the harsh bi-directional recoil of spring-piston rifles while maintaining a compact field profile, this scope delivers a wide field of view ranging from 17.5 m down to 6.3 m at 100 m across its 2–7x magnification range.

• Adjustable Objective (AO): Front parallax collar adjusts focus down to a minimum of 7 metres (7.5 yards) out to infinity, allowing sharp image focus and zero parallax error at close shooting distances.
• AMX Reticle: Glass-etched, non-illuminated reticle located on the second focal plane, featuring half-Mil dot spacing on the lower vertical post to provide precise holdover aim points for looping pellet and rimfire trajectories.
• Recoil-Rated Mono-Tube Chassis: 1-inch aluminium housing is nitrogen-purged, waterproof, fog-proof, and rated for all calibres, including heavy-recoil spring-piston and gas-ram air rifles.
• Low-Profile Turrets: Capped, finger-adjustable 1/4 MOA click turrets provide a broad total adjustment range of 120 MOA for both elevation and windage.
• Compact Footprint: Measures 269 mm in overall length and weighs 472 g, keeping balance centred on lightweight stalking and hunting rifles.

Who is the Hawke Airmax 2-7x32 AO for?

• Pest controllers using high-power spring-piston or PCP air rifles — requires a dedicated airgun scope engineered to withstand bi-directional spring recoil while offering 120 MOA of total adjustment range to compensate for curved pellet trajectories at varying distances.
• Small game hunters targeting rabbits and hares with .22 LR rimfire rifles — benefits from a lightweight rimfire optic weighing just 472 g that provides an adjustable 2-7x magnification range and a 32 mm objective lens for rapid target acquisition during all-day field carry.

Less suitable for: Target engagement under 7 metres, where the optical system cannot achieve sharp parallax correction, as well as precision shooting past 75 to 100 metres, which is better served by higher-magnification scopes such as 4-12x or 4-16x optics with larger 30 mm chassis tubes.
