The Vantage HD 34 series expands the proven Vantage family with capable riflescopes designed for precision shooting and demanding applications at extended ranges. The robust 34 mm monotube chassis provides a stable platform for a generous internal adjustment range and precise, repeatable corrections.
A generous 102 mm eye relief, illuminated glass reticles and a practical turret system further underline the range's focus on target and precision shooting.
The Vantage HD 34 series combines many features associated with modern precision riflescopes with the attractive value proposition of Hawke's Vantage range.
Optical system
The Hawke H2 optical system uses fully multi-coated lenses with 11 coating layers. These coatings improve light transmission and contribute to a clear, high-contrast and detailed image.A fast-focus eyepiece allows quick adjustment of the dioptre setting to the individual user.
Vantage HD 5-25x56 SF FFP
The 5–25x56 SF is the Vantage HD 34 FFP model specifically geared towards precision shooting at medium to extended ranges. Its broad magnification range provides a useful overview at 5x, while the 25x maximum magnification enables detailed target observation and precise shot placement at longer distances.
The large 56 mm objective lens supports a bright image even at high magnification. Side Focus allows precise focusing and parallax correction from just 9 metres to infinity, making the riflescope suitable not only for conventional long-range shooting but also for precision rimfire and airgun disciplines.
A Zero Stop elevation turret provides a fast and reliable return to the established zero, while the locking windage adjustment helps prevent accidental changes. This makes the 5–25x56 SF particularly well suited to precision target shooting, competition and demanding extended-range applications.
FFP MOA Pro II (25x)
The FFP MOA Pro II (25x) is a precision MOA reticle designed for target shooting and demanding applications at extended ranges. 2 MOA graduations extending to 36 MOA of holdover provide numerous reference points for compensating for bullet drop, while markings extending to 32 MOA are available for holdunder and windage corrections.
Additional 2, 1 and 0.5 MOA graduations assist with range estimation and particularly fine corrections. Numbered references along the lower section provide quick orientation. A see-through central area maintains an unobstructed view of small targets, while the heavier hollow outer posts help make the reticle easy to acquire throughout the magnification range.
As the MOA Pro II is positioned in the first focal plane, its MOA subtensions remain accurate at every magnification setting. Combined with the riflescope's 1/4 MOA turret adjustments, this creates a consistent MOA/MOA system: four turret clicks correspond to one MOA on the reticle, regardless of the selected magnification.
First Focal Plane Reticle – FFP
With a First Focal Plane (FFP) reticle, the apparent size of the reticle changes proportionally with magnification. As a result, the relationship between the target and the reticle remains constant throughout the entire zoom range.
Holdover and windage references as well as the reticle graduations used for range estimation therefore retain their defined angular values at every magnification setting. This is particularly beneficial when shooting at varying distances, as there is no need to select a specific magnification for accurate use of the reticle.
At lower magnification the reticle appears finer and provides an uncluttered field of view, while at higher magnification it increases in size together with the target image, allowing precise use of the individual aiming references.
