How do I calibrate the BDC reticle for different .22 LR ammunition speeds?

The Rimfire .22 LR reticle is engineered to calibrate accurately at 16x magnification for High Velocity ammunition traveling at approximately 1,260 fps, and at 12.1x magnification for Standard Velocity loads. This system provides pre-calculated holdover points in 25-yard increments from a 50-yard zero out to 200 yards. Simply adjust your zoom ring to match your preferred ammo speed to ensure precise trajectory compensation in the field.

What is the minimum focus distance for pest control at close range?

The Side Focus turret allows parallax adjustment down to 10 yards (9 metres) out to infinity. This makes it exceptionally well-suited for targeting rabbits or pests at close farmyard distances. Please note that targets closer than 9 metres will exhibit optical parallax error and blurring.

Does this scope require any special electrical compliance or Australian certifications?

No special electrical certifications such as SAA or RCM are required for this optic. It operates entirely on a single 3V CR2032 button cell battery to power the red and green illumination reticle, and does not connect to 240V mains power.

What kind of mounting hardware do I need to attach this 30mm scope to my rimfire rifle?

The scope features a 30 mm single-piece mono-tube chassis and requires standard 30 mm scope rings. Depending on your rifle setup, you can pair it with 30 mm mounts designed for Picatinny, Weaver, or standard rimfire dovetail rails to ensure a secure fit.

.22 LR Scope - Hawke 14414 Vantage 4-16x50

The Hawke Vantage HD 30 WA SF IR 4–16x50 Rimfire .22 LR (16x) is a calibre-specific rimfire rifle scope engineered for .22 LR platforms. Built on a 30 mm single-piece mono-tube chassis, it features an 11-layer Fully Multi-Coated (FMC) System H2 optical design paired with a 50 mm objective lens for enhanced light transmission in low-light conditions. The glass-etched Second Focal Plane reticle is trajectory-matched to .22 LR ballistics, offering calibrated aim points from a 50-yard (approx. 46 m) zero out to 200 yards (approx. 183 m) in 25-yard increments when set to 16x magnification for High Velocity ammunition (approx. 1,260 fps / 384 m/s) or 12.1x for Standard Velocity ammunition. Turret adjustments feature exposed, locking, resettable dials with 1/4 MOA click values.

Who is the Hawke Vantage HD 30 WA SF IR 4–16x50 Rimfire .22 LR (16x) for?

Rural landholders and pest controllers — delivers a 50 mm objective lens and 4–16x magnification with pre-calculated .22 LR drop compensation out to 200 yards for culling rabbits and small game in low-light paddock conditions.
Rimfire target shooters — uses a side focus parallax assembly adjustable down to 10 yards (9 m) on a 30 mm mono-tube chassis, eliminating optical parallax error across short and extended rimfire distances.

Less suitable for: Long-range shooting exceeding 200 yards (183 m) or centrefire rifle calibres, which require a centrefire-specific BDC, MRAD/MIL, or MOA-hash reticle scope. Targets closer than 10 yards (9 m) will exhibit optical parallax error and blurring.
