Reviews & Ratings for Hawke Sport Optics Vantage 2-7x32mm Rifle Scope 1in Tube Second Focal Plane — 23 reviews — Page 1

I've had this scope for a while now, but just recently noticed that at the highest magnification, I cannot get the reticle and the target both into focus at distances out to 50 yards. At the lower magnifications, or at longer distances, I cannot notice any significant issues. The scope has not been dropped or abused in any way. I have been searching my memory trying to determine whether this was always the case, or is a new problem.

The scope impressed me when first purchased, being well built, with very good glass for the price. The reticle is nice and simple, just the way I like it. The magnification ring was a bit stiff initially, but broke in with time and use. I liked it well enough to buy two more Hawke optics for my other .22 rifles, both of which have adjustable objectives, so parallax and focus issues are nonexistent.

This scope was a replacement for the first one, that was defective (not same brand). This one works great. It would have been better if it came with rings, but good scope.

I bought it for my 22 just as a cheaper option knowing they are pretty good scopes and it surprised me with how good the clarity was I can punch 150 yard with it on a 22 with ease and still see where I hit through the same glass

In a world full of gadgetry, and oragami reticles. This scope is simple, light, straightforward and a jack of all trades. This was my 3rd one.

This is a dandy .22 scope for the money. All adjustments work correctly. And the parallax is on the money. For instance i ranged a squirrel at 15 ft. Dialed the parallax in and zoomed to 7X. Squirrel was clear. Scope is crisp and clear with no noticeable fringing. Only drawback is its quit heavy but not a deal-breaker.

This scope is high quality with good craftsmanship. It was very easy to sight in. I recommend this scope.

I purchased one of these Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 AO scopes for a .22LR bolt action rifle. I was pleased to see how far the parallax adjustments go down to just 5 yards. I wanted at least one optic that could do both close range as well as out to around 75 yards max for pest control. The glass is clear and the overall build quality is on par with scopes costing 2x as much. Long story short I am pleased with the purchase enough that I am in the process of purchasing a few more just moments after I type this. I have a few more .22LR rifles that are in need of a upgraded optic and I also just purchased a .22 cal air rifle that needs one too. I don't have any Class III NFA items and need something quiet occasionally as well. Fortunately I already knew what scope to buy because I just purchased the first one a few weeks ago.

All the reviews I have read on this optic have really been good.
I bought this for a lever action .22lr which I wanted a fairly compact optic mainly as a squirrel getter.
Granted this is my first Hawke optic but initial impressions have really been good and the price I paid for it with it being on sale, a discount coupon code and some previously earned bonus bucks this was a no brainer purchase.

Excellent scope for the price. Good warranty and customer service.

I bought this scope for a powerful gas piston air rifle that is very hard on scopes. I have another scope just like it on another similar air rifle. I have had these scopes mounted on these air rifles for a while now, with several thousand shots to their credit. These scopes have done a good job of withstanding the harsh double recoil such air rifles produce, which can really destroy low quality scopes. While not the very best optical quality, they are above average and quite clear, especially compared to some scopes that are much more expensive that I have owned over the years. I consider this scope a good value for the all-around quality you get at this price level. The adjustments seem to work well and seem fairly accurate. They do tend to settle after the first adjustments are made and after a few shooting sessions, but after a few additional minor adjustments they seem very stable. Note that for spring piston and gas piston air rifles, you definitely need good solid mounts for any scope. I can't emphasize that last point enough. No scope will stay stable on such air rifles without good mounts, mounted tightly and correctly.
