Product Overview
The Hawke Vantage 3-9x40 Rimfire .22 LR IR (14222) is a compact, purpose-designed riflescope tailored for .22 LR rimfire rifles, delivering outstanding clarity and value for Australian shooters. Equipped with Hawke's H2 optical system and 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses, it offers bright, sharp images with excellent low-light performance thanks to the 40mm objective. The illuminated High Velocity (HV) reticle is calibrated specifically for .22 LR high-velocity ammunition (typically 1250 fps), providing accurate holdover points when zeroed at 50 yards on 9x magnification—perfect for pest control, plinking, small game hunting, and target shooting at practical ranges. Red and green illumination with 5 brightness levels ensures visibility in dawn, dusk, or shaded conditions.
Built on a lightweight 1-inch mono-tube chassis, the scope is nitrogen-purged, waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof, handling rimfire recoil with ease. Capped low-profile turrets provide reliable 1/4 MOA adjustments with 90 MOA total range, while the fast-focus ocular and smooth magnification ring allow quick, intuitive use. At only 315g and 315mm long, it adds minimal weight and bulk to lightweight .22 rifles, maintaining excellent balance and handling.
