The Hawke Airmax 30 WA SF 4-16x50 AMX IR is a specialised rifle scope engineered for airguns and rimfire platforms. Built on a 30 mm mono-tube chassis with an H2 Wide Angle optical system, it provides a 10.2 m to 2.6 m field of view at 100 m across its 4–16x magnification range. The glass-etched AMX IR reticle features half-Mil holdover spacing on the lower post and 6 levels of red illumination to compensate for curved pellet and rimfire trajectories. Designed to withstand the bi-directional recoil of magnum spring-piston rifles, the optic includes resettable capped target turrets with 1/10 MRAD click adjustments and 27 MRAD of total elevation and windage travel.

Key Features

• Airgun-Optimised AMX IR Reticle: Half-Mil spaced lower post holdovers with windage bars assist trajectory management without dialling turrets.
• H2 Wide Angle Optics: 16-layer fully multi-coated 50 mm objective lens delivers 102 mm of eye relief and light transmission across varied conditions.
• Side Focus Parallax: Smooth turret adjustment corrects parallax error from 9 metres (10 yards) out to infinity.
• Metric Target Turrets: 1/10 MRAD click values (1 cm at 100 m) match standard metric range calculations.
• Included Accessories: Ships with a 4-inch attachable side wheel, 4-inch sunshade, metal flip-up lens covers, and a CR2032 battery.

Who is the Hawke Airmax 30 WA SF 4-16x50 for?

• Pest control operators — requires parallax adjustment down to 9 metres (10 yards) paired with a 50 mm objective lens for low-light small game hunting and close-to-mid-range air rifle pesting.
• Field Target and Hunter Field Target competitors — benefits from the 4–16x magnification range, the included 4-inch side wheel, and the AMX IR reticle's half-Mil holdover marks for rapid range estimation and holdover corrections.
• Rimfire precision target shooters — utilises 1/10 MRAD turret adjustments across 27 MRAD of travel within a 30 mm mono-tube to dial precise trajectory corrections on rimfire rifle setups.

Less suitable for: Close-range pesting under 9 metres due to focus limits and parallax error, extreme long-range shooting past 600–700 metres where higher-magnification or First Focal Plane (FFP) optics are required, or ultralight walking rigs where a compact-series scope is preferred to save weight over this 760 g chassis.
