What is the minimum focus distance for the adjustable objective on the Hawke Vantage IR 4-16x50 AO?

The adjustable objective allows parallax correction and target sharpening from 14 metres (15 yards) out to infinity. Please note that target shooting at distances closer than 14 metres will result in parallax error or a lack of image sharpness.

What kind of mounting rings do I need for this riflescope on my Australian setup?

The Hawke Vantage 14260 features a standard 1-inch (25.4 mm) mono-tube aluminium chassis. It is fully compatible with standard 1-inch weaver, picatinny, or dovetail mounting rings commonly available in the Australian market.

Does this riflescope require any Australian electrical certifications or SAA approvals?

As a purely optical and mechanical device powered exclusively by an internal 3V CR2032 coin cell battery for the illuminated reticle, it does not connect to 240V mains power. Therefore, SAA approvals and RCM electrical certifications do not apply to this product.

How does the illuminated Mil Dot reticle perform in varying lighting conditions during outback hunting?

The glass-etched Mil Dot reticle features dual red and green illumination options, each with 5 brightness levels to suit your environment. The 11-layer fully multi-coated H2 optics system and 50 mm objective lens also maximise light gathering during low-light dawn and dusk conditions.

Who is the Hawke Vantage IR 4-16x50 AO for?

Varmint and pest control hunters — Benefits from the 4x to 16x magnification range and 50 mm objective lens of this riflescope to identify small game targets at extended distances in varying lighting conditions.
Rimfire precision shooters — Utilises the 80 MOA internal adjustment travel and 388 mm 1-inch mono-tube chassis to dial and hold precise elevations at varying medium-to-long rimfire target distances.
Airgun target shooters — Leverages the 620 g weight and adjustable objective parallax focus down to 14 metres to eliminate optical parallax error on precision PCP and spring-piston air rifles.

Less suitable for: Target shooting closer than 14 metres, which will suffer from parallax error or lack of focus sharpness; dedicated ultra-close parallax riflescopes focusing down to 9 metres or 10 yards are better suited for sub-14 m shooting disciplines.
