Product Overview
The Hawke Vantage IR 4-12x50 Rimfire .22 Subsonic (14251) is a purpose-built riflescope optimised for subsonic .22 LR ammunition, delivering excellent clarity and performance for rimfire shooters across Australia. Featuring Hawke's advanced H2 optical system with 11-layer fully multi-coated lenses, this scope provides bright, sharp images even in low-light conditions. The illuminated glass-etched reticle is specifically calibrated for .22 LR subsonic rounds (1057 fps / 322 m/s), allowing precise holdover points when zeroed at 50 yards on 12x magnification—ideal for pest control, target shooting, or small game hunting at varying ranges. With red and green illumination in 5 brightness levels, it excels in dawn, dusk, or shaded environments.
Built on a robust 1-inch mono-tube chassis, the scope is waterproof, fog-proof, and shockproof, rated for all calibres including rimfire. Capped low-profile turrets offer reliable 1/4 MOA adjustments with 80 MOA total travel, while the fast-focus ocular and knurled posi-grip magnification ring ensure quick, intuitive operation. At 497g and 341mm long, it balances well on lightweight rimfire rifles without adding unnecessary bulk.
