The Hawke Vantage 4-12x40 AO (Model 14141) is an adjustable objective riflescope engineered for rimfire rifles, airguns, and light-to-medium centrefire platforms. Built on a 1-inch (25.4 mm) mono-tube chassis, it features an H2 optical system with 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses, delivering 4–12x magnification with a 40 mm objective lens. The classic second focal plane (SFP) Mil Dot reticle is calibrated at 10x magnification to provide multiple holdover and windage aim points. Fully nitrogen-purged, waterproof, and shockproof, this non-illuminated, passive optic provides reliable performance without requiring batteries or active electronics.

Key Features

• Adjustable Objective (AO): Integrated front objective collar allows precise parallax correction from 9 metres (10 yards) to infinity.
• Mil Dot Reticle: Second focal plane reticle calibrated at 10x magnification, offering standard holdover and lead points for short- to medium-range ballistics.
• Capped Low-Profile Turrets: Finger-adjustable 1/4 MOA click turrets provide 100 MOA of total elevation and windage adjustment range.
• H2 Multi-Coated Optics: 11-layer fully multi-coated glass ensures optimal light transmission across the 8.7 m to 2.9 m field of view at 100 metres.
• All-Weather Mono-Tube Chassis: 1-inch (25.4 mm) aircraft-grade aluminium body is nitrogen-purged for complete water, fog, and shock resistance.

Who is the Hawke Vantage 4-12x40 Mil Dot for?

• Rimfire pest control shooters — Requires the 4-12x magnification range and 1/4 MOA click values of this rimfire riflescope to accurately place shots with .22 LR, .17 HMR, and .22 WMR calibres across short to medium distances.
• Air rifle and PCP target shooters — Relies on the adjustable objective collar to correct parallax errors down to 9 m on this Hawke Vantage optic, enabling crisp focus and precise aim on close-range targets.
• Mobile small-game hunters — Benefits from the compact 485 g weight and 1-inch tube diameter of this riflescope to maintain an agile, balanced carry rifle during extended stalks in the field.

Less suitable for: Target shooting at extreme long ranges exceeding 600 metres, which requires higher-magnification optics (such as 16x–24x) with larger 30 mm or 34 mm tubes and exposed tactical dialing turrets, or magnum-class spring-piston airguns and heavy-recoil magnum centrefires that require dedicated heavy-recoil rated optics.
