The Hawke Vantage 30 WA IR 3-9x42 L4A Dot is a variable-magnification hunting riflescope engineered on a single-piece 30 mm aluminium chassis. Built with Hawke's H2 optical system and 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses, this wide-angle riflescope delivers low-to-medium magnification sighting and fast target acquisition for bush stalking and medium-range hunting. It features an illuminated glass-etched L4A Dot reticle with dual red and green brightness settings to maintain contrast against dark backgrounds and low-light environments.

Key Features

• Wide-Angle Optical System: Provides a broad field of view ranging from 14.1 m to 4.4 m at 100 m across the 3–9x magnification range for tracking moving targets.
• Glass-Etched L4A Dot Reticle: Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle with a 2 MOA centre dot and 5-stage stepped red and green illumination powered by a standard CR2032 battery.
• Low-Profile Capped Turrets: 1/4 MOA per-click finger-adjustable turrets with 120 MOA of total elevation and windage travel, sealed against accidental movement in thick scrub.
• Rugged Construction: Nitrogen-purged, waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof all-calibre rated housing suitable for rimfire, standard centrefire, and magnum calibres.

Who is the Hawke Vantage 30 WA IR 3-9x42 L4A Dot for?

• Bush stalkers hunting feral pigs and goats in thick timber — benefits from the 496 g carry weight and a wide 14.1 m field of view at 3x magnification on a 30 mm main tube, allowing fast off-hand targeting in dense cover.
• Pest control shooters targeting foxes and wild dogs within 300 metres — utilizes the 3–9x magnification range and 42 mm objective lens paired with the 2 MOA illuminated centre dot to provide clean low-light target identification at dawn and dusk.

Less suitable for: Shooting inside 50 metres or past 300–400 metres where a factory-fixed 91 m parallax creates focus limitations; shooters engaging targets at these extreme close or extended distances are better served by a high-magnification riflescope with adjustable parallax (Side Focus or Adjustable Objective).
