The Hawke Vantage 30 WA FFP 6-24x50 Half Mil Dot IR Riflescope (Model 14304) is a long-range optic built on a 30 mm mono-tube aluminium chassis. Designed with Wide-Angle (WA) System H2 optics and 11-layer fully multi-coated glass, it features a glass-etched First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle where holdover and hold-under markings remain accurate across the entire 6x to 24x magnification range. Elevation and windage adjustments use exposed push-pull locking turrets calibrated in 1/10 MRAD clicks, offering 17 MRAD of total travel. With a side focus parallax adjustment that dials down to 10 yards (9 metres) and multi-stage red/green reticle illumination powered by an internal CR2032 battery, it provides precise shot placement across centrefire and rimfire shooting platforms.

Key Features

• First Focal Plane Reticle: The glass-etched Half Mil Dot reticle scales proportionally with magnification, maintaining exact milliradian spacing at any zoom setting.
• Wide-Angle Optical System: Delivers a field of view from 7.0 m down to 1.7 m at 100 m (4° to 1°) with 90 mm of eye relief.
• Locking Target Turrets: Exposed, resettable turrets provide tactile 1/10 MRAD click adjustments with 17 MRAD total elevation and windage range.
• Side Focus Parallax: Corrects parallax error from 10 yds (9 m) to infinity for close-range rimfire or long-range centrefire targets.
• Dual Illumination: Features 5 brightness levels of red and green reticle illumination for varied contrast conditions.
• All-Weather Construction: Nitrogen-purged, waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof chassis rated for all firearm calibres and spring airgun recoil.

Who is the Hawke Vantage 30 WA FFP 6-24x50 Half Mil Dot for?

• Long-range precision target shooters — provides 6-24x magnification with an FFP reticle that maintains proportional milliradian holdovers for distance adjustments across a 17 MRAD travel range.
• NRL22 and PRS rimfire competitors — delivers a side focus parallax adjustment that focuses down to 10 yds (9 m) on a 30 mm tube riflescope to engage close-distance target stages accurately.
• Medium-to-extended-range varmint and pest controllers — utilizes a 50 mm objective lens paired with 24x top-end magnification to identify and target small pests at long distances.
• Stationary blind or stand hunters — features an illuminated glass-etched reticle on a 755 g platform designed for stable, supported shooting positions overlooking open fields or clearings.

Less suitable for: Close-quarters fast-target tracking in dense bush, where the 6x minimum magnification and 755 g weight restrict quick off-hand handling (a lightweight 1–6x low-power variable optic is better suited), or extended low-light shooting at full 24x power where the 2.1 mm exit pupil reduces optical brightness (a fixed lower-magnification optic with a larger exit pupil fits low-light conditions better).
