The Hawke Vantage Red Dot 1x25 (Model 12106) is an enclosed optical sight engineered for fast target acquisition on rimfire rifles and airguns. Featuring an integrated dual-screw clamp designed directly for 9–11mm dovetail rails, it installs onto standard grooved receivers without requiring aftermarket adaptors or separate mounting rings. The optical system utilises 25-layer fully multi-coated (FMC) lenses with a 25mm objective diameter, providing a parallax-free sight picture from 9 metres (10 yards) outwards. Encased in a nitrogen-purged aluminium housing, this sight is waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof.

Key Features

• Direct 9–11mm Mounting: Built-in base with dual clamping screws fits factory 9–11mm dovetail rails out of the box.
• 11-Stage Illumination: Digital brightness dial controls a 3 MOA red dot reticle across 11 daytime and low-light intensity levels.
• Turret Adjustments: Windage and elevation turrets adjust at 1 MOA per click across an operational adjustment range of approximately 260 clicks.
• Enclosed Housing: Nitrogen-purged, O-ring sealed aluminium construction protects the interior optics against water, fog, and mechanical recoil.
• Included Accessories: Supplied with a honeycomb killflash sunshade, rubber bikini lens covers, a multi-tool, a lens cloth, and one CR2032 battery.

Who is the Hawke Vantage Red Dot 1x25 for?

• Rimfire pest control and small game hunters — mounts directly onto standard 9–11mm dovetail rifle receivers to provide rapid target acquisition via a 3 MOA red dot that covers approximately 0.75 inches of target area at 25 metres.
• Air rifle plinkers and vermin shooters — delivers an enclosed 190 g optic system with fixed parallax error-free focus from 9 metres outwards, designed to withstand spring-piston vibration on 9–11mm airgun rails.

Less suitable for: Firearms equipped with standard 20–22mm Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails, as the integrated 9–11mm clamp will not fit these wider rail platforms (a dedicated Weaver-base red dot is required). It is also less suitable for precision target shooting beyond 100 metres where the 3 MOA dot covers 3 inches of the target, making a magnified riflescope with fine crosshairs the better choice.
