LEDE Hawke Riflescope Vantage HD 30 SF

Hawke Optics has introduced its Vantage HD 30 SF, a second-focal plane riflescope line boasting System H2 optics for clarity.

The Vantage HD 30 SF riflescopes feature easy-to-use side focus adjustment, and the System H2 optics are fully multi-coated with 11 layers to provide crystal-clear vision throughout the magnification range. Each scope is built on a one-piece, 30mm chassis for outstanding light transmission. A removable throw lever helps with magnification adjustment on the fly. These scopes have Hawke's Zero-Stop, locking elevation turrets, and exposed, locking windage turrets. Reticles sport red/green illumination for the reticles with five brightness levels and 3.5 inches of eye relief comes standard.

The Hawke Vantage HD 30 SF scopes come in two magnification ranges. The 4-16x50mm Vantage HD 30 SF scopes are available with an LR2 Dot, Mil Pro II, .223/.308 Marksman, or Rimfire .22LR reticles. The Vantage HD 30 6-24x50mm SF comes with either an LR2 Dot, Mil Pro II or .223/.308 Marksman reticle. All reticle options are illuminated.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge.
