The Hawke Vantage HD 20–60x80 Spotting Scope (Model 51105) is an angled observation optic engineered for high-magnification, long-range glassing. Utilizing Hawke's System H2 fully multi-coated HD optical system paired with a BAK-4 Porro prism, this spotting scope delivers clear target resolution and low-light light transmission via its 80 mm objective lens. The nitrogen-purged and O-ring-sealed chassis provides waterproof and fog-proof performance across changing weather conditions. For mounting stability, the base features an integrated native Arca-Swiss footprint along with a standard 1/4"-20 UNC female mounting thread.

Key Features

• System H2 Fully Multi-Coated Optics: Maximizes light transmission across the 80 mm objective lens for enhanced clarity during dawn and dusk viewing.
• 20–60x Magnification Range: Provides variable zoom capability to resolve fine target details, bullet impacts, and distant wildlife.
• Dual-Interface Mounting Base: Features an integrated Arca-Swiss dovetail and standard 1/4"-20 thread for direct connection to compatible tripod heads.
• Integrated Glare & Position Controls: Built with a pull-out sunshade to reduce lens flare and a rotating tripod collar to allow multiple viewing angles from bench, prone, or standing setups.
• Included Accessories: Supplied with a stay-on protective neoprene/fabric case, tethered objective and ocular lens covers, and a twist-up eyecup compatible with Hawke smartphone digiscoping adapters.

Who is the Hawke Vantage HD 20-60x80 Spotting Scope for?

• Long-Range Target Shooters — Resolves bullet holes on paper targets and verifies distant steel impacts from shooting benches using the variable 20–60x magnification range and 80 mm objective lens.
• Vehicle-Supported Hunters — Gathers maximum ambient light during dawn and dusk stationary glassing via the light-gathering 80 mm aperture of this angled spotting scope.
• Stationary Birdwatchers — Identifies fine plumage details across open wetlands or reserves from fixed hides using the high-magnification 20–60x zoom assembly.

Less suitable for: Mobile backcountry hunters requiring a lightweight optic under the 1,590 g chassis weight of this unit (who are better served by a compact 50 mm–65 mm spotting scope under 1 kg), close-range viewing under the 8.0 m minimum close focus distance (better served by close-focusing 8x or 10x binoculars), or lightweight tripod setups unable to support a 3–4 kg payload rating to eliminate image shake at 60x magnification.
