Hawke Vantage 30 WA FFP 4-16x50

• First Focal Plane Reticle (FFP Half Mil Dot): The reticle is positioned in the first focal plane, scaling proportionally with magnification throughout the entire 4–16× range. All MRAD subtension values remain accurate at every zoom level, allowing reliable holdovers and ranging without the need to mentally compensate for magnification — a practical advantage for hunters and shooters who regularly change power settings in the field.
• Dual-Colour Illumination with 5 Brightness Levels: The reticle is illuminated in both red and green across 5 intensity settings, with off positions between each step, controlled via a stepped rheostat. Dual-colour illumination allows the shooter to choose the aim point colour that provides the best contrast against the current target background and lighting conditions.
• Exposed Locking Resettable Turrets: The exposed elevation and windage turrets are locking and resettable, providing direct field access to adjustments while protecting the zero from accidental movement. Each turret offers 26 MRAD of total travel in 1/10 MRAD click increments, allowing precise correction for both wind and elevation across a wide range of hunting distances.
• Side Focus Parallax Adjustment from 9 Metres: The side-mounted parallax knob covers 9 metres to infinity, enabling precise parallax correction across close to long-range distances without breaking the firing position. This is particularly useful with a first focal plane reticle, where the shooter may use the scope across a wide range of distances and magnification settings where parallax management directly affects precision.
• 30mm Mono-Tube Chassis: The 30mm aluminium mono-tube provides a stable platform for the optical and mechanical system, ensuring structural rigidity under recoil from centrefire and magnum calibres. Standard 30mm tube diameter ensures broad compatibility with widely available ring mounts.
• H2 Optical System with 11-Layer Fully Multi-Coated Lenses: The H2 optical system with 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses provides consistent light transmission and a clear image across the magnification range, making the scope suitable for general hunting and field shooting use across a range of lighting conditions.
• Wide Field of View: At minimum magnification, the scope delivers a field of view of 10.8 metres at 100 metres, supporting fast target identification and tracking before adjusting magnification for the shot — a useful characteristic for driven hunting and woodland shooting where the target may appear at close range with little warning.
• Sealed and Nitrogen Purged Construction: The mono-tube is fully sealed and nitrogen purged, providing waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance rated for all calibres — ensuring reliable function in rain and across rapid temperature changes between environments.

About the Vantage 30 WA FFP Series

The Hawke Vantage 30 WA FFP IR series is part of the broader Vantage riflescope range, built on the H2 optical system within a 30mm aluminium mono-tube chassis. It represents Hawke's entry point into the first focal plane riflescope category, offering FFP reticle functionality at an accessible price point within the Vantage lineup.

All Vantage 30 WA FFP IR models feature the FFP Half Mil Dot reticle with dual-colour illumination in red and green, combined with 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses and exposed, locking, resettable turrets with 1/10 MRAD click values. The series includes side focus parallax adjustment from 9 metres to infinity, making it practical for use across a wide range of shooting distances where parallax correction is needed. The wide-angle optical design provides a broader field of view at minimum magnification than standard optical configurations in the same magnification classes.

The Vantage 30 WA FFP IR series comprises two models: the 4-16x50 for general hunting and field shooting use, and the 6-24x50 for applications requiring higher magnification at longer distances. Both models share the same optical system, reticle, and mechanical specification.

About the Model (Hawke Vantage 30 WA FFP 4-16x50 Half Mil Dot IR)

The Hawke Vantage 30 WA FFP 4-16x50 Half Mil Dot IR is a first focal plane riflescope designed for hunters and field shooters who require accurate reticle subtensions across a broad magnification range without the cost associated with higher-tier FFP optics. The 4–16× magnification range provides a practical 4× zoom ratio with a field of view of 10.8 metres at 100 metres at minimum power — useful for driven hunting and woodland shooting — and a 16× upper end that provides adequate image scale for shot placement at extended hunting distances.

The 50mm objective lens, combined with the H2 optical system and 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses, delivers consistent light transmission and a clear image across the magnification range. An exit pupil of 12.5 mm at 4× supports image brightness at low magnification in reduced-light field conditions.

The FFP Half Mil Dot reticle is a first focal plane design with subtensions calibrated to remain accurate throughout the full magnification range. At any zoom setting from 4× to 16×, holdover and wind correction values correspond directly to the MRAD spacings on the reticle, removing the need for magnification-specific correction tables. The reticle is precision glass-etched and illuminated in both red and green with 5 brightness levels and off positions between each step, allowing the shooter to select the colour and intensity that best matches the ambient light and target background.

The exposed elevation and windage turrets are locking and resettable, each offering 26 MRAD of total adjustment travel in 1/10 MRAD click increments. Side-mounted parallax adjustment covers 9 metres to infinity. The fast-focus eyebell allows rapid dioptre adjustment to match the shooter's vision. The mono-tube is nitrogen purged and fully sealed, providing waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof performance rated for all calibres. Overall length is 348 mm and weight is 745 g.
