The Hawke Vantage 3-9x50 AO Mil Dot (Model 14133) is an optical rifle scope engineered for airguns, rimfire rifles, and medium-range centerfire platforms. Built around a 1-inch (25.4 mm) mono-tube chassis, it features an Adjustable Objective (AO) lens mechanism and an 11-layer fully multi-coated optical system. The scope delivers 3x to 9x magnification with a large 50 mm objective lens designed to maximise light gathering in low-light environments, paired with an all-calibre and spring-piston airgun shockproof rating.

Key Features

• Adjustable Objective (AO): Corrects parallax error and focuses the image from 9 metres (10 yards) out to infinity directly at the objective bell.
• 11-Layer Optical System: Fully multi-coated lenses reduce reflection and improve light transmission across the 3–9x magnification range.
• Mil Dot Reticle: Non-illuminated second focal plane reticle provides multiple aim points for holdover and windage compensation.
• Capped Turrets: Low-profile 1/4 MOA click-value elevation and windage turrets offer 90 MOA of total adjustment range.
• Durable Construction: Nitrogen-purged, waterproof, and fog-proof mono-tube chassis rated for heavy firearm recoil and reverse spring-piston airgun vibration.

Who is the Hawke Vantage 3-9x50 AO for?

• PCP and spring-piston airgun pest controllers — requires parallax correction down to 9 m to eliminate optical error at short shooting distances while maintaining shockproof durability against bi-directional recoil on this airgun rifle scope.
• Rimfire target shooters and small-game hunters — utilises a versatile 3–9x magnification range and a 1-inch tube weighing ~576 g to balance stable off-hand shooting with precise target engagement out to standard rimfire distances.
• Dawn and dusk medium-range centerfire hunters — leverages the large 50 mm objective lens to gather available ambient light during low-light transitions across medium hunting distances.

Less suitable for: Ultra-close pesting inside 9 metres, which requires a dedicated close-focus short-range optic, or precision long-range engagements past 400 to 500 metres, which require higher magnification scopes (such as 4-16x or 6-24x) with exposed tactical target turrets.
