The latest addition to Hawke's Vantage IR lineup, the 2X-7X32mm is a compact, middle-ground model perfect for hunters. As with most of Hawke’s 107 riflescopes, this new model is all-caliber rated. It is quick-handling thanks to its low-end power, getting hunters on-target fast for those close-in shots, while still retaining clarity and magnification for further targets.
The Vantage IR 2X-7x32mm is built on a one-inch, mono-tube frame and has 11-layer, fully-multi-coated optics. It is nitrogen purged to be water-, shock- and fog-proof. The scope has Hawke’s Mil-Dot glass-etched reticle with five levels of adjustable red and green illumination with a rheostat on the saddle, or you can turn it off for an all-black reticle. This scope has capped, low-profile turrets with ¼-MOA adjustment. A fast-focus eyebell and high-torque zoom ring allows for rapid target acquisition. Lens covers and a battery are included.

The Saiga (antelope) in Kazakhstan has rebounded from dangerously low numbers and has been recognized as a success by the international body governing threatened and endangered wildlife.
The Benelli Super Black Eagle 3 A.I. BE.S.T. is, put simply, on the fast track to being considered a waterfowling marvel. Standing for Advanced Impact technology, the SBE 3 A.I. shoots its shot with improved downrange results thanks to a very, very proprietary barrel technology that actually assists in energy retention for greater downrange velocity. Sounds crazy, right? That’s what I thought too; then I took the gun to Montana’s Bighorn River and had my mind blown.
