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 .404 Jeffery dates back to 1905 or 1906, and was supposedly created by W.J. Jeffery & Co. to replicate the performance of the .450/400 3” Nitro Express, but in a bolt-action magazine rifle. But the offspring of that cartridge—as well as those cartridges which were “highly inspired” by the .404 Jeffery—have gotten much more of the spotlight than the .404 ever did.
