Hawke Optics has expanded its Vantage 30 WA lineup. The company's .223/.308 Marksman reticle is now available in a 4X-12X-42mm, bringing shooters an affordable, compact scope with increased magnification.

The new 4X-12X-42mm model in the Vantage 30 WA lineup is intended for AR-platforms, or any .223- or .308-chambered rifle. Built on a compact, 30mm mono-tube chassis, it is a solid performer at any range boasting a 100-yard zero and holdover aim points that increase in 100-yard increments out to 600 yards. As part of Hawke’s H2 series, the new Vantage 30 WA scope features 11-layer Fully Multi-Coated lenses for clarity and image quality.

The illuminated reticle, as with all IR models in the Vantage line, offers multi-stage illumination in both red and green. Quarter-MOA fingertip-adjustable exposed, locking turrets give a quick and easy adjustment to get on target fast. Fast-focus adjustment on the eyebell and plenty of eye-relief make target acquisition easy and reliable. All Hawke riflescopes are fully nitrogen purged, water-, shock-, and fog-proof, and come with Hawke’s No-Fault Lifetime Warranty. For more information, visit hawkeoptics.comMSRP: $329

Rethinking Ragù: Venison Ragù Bianco

In Italy, ragù simply refers to a slow-cooked meat sauce. Bolognese—ragù alla Bolognese—is just one regional variation that originated in Bologna and traditionally incorporates tomatoes, wine, milk, and finely minced meat simmered low and slow until deeply rich and complex. But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
