Hawke Vantage SF

Just ordered a 3-12x44 for use with a NV Addon as my main scopes are Kahles and Docter fixed mags. I have a Nikko Gameking AO which works to some extent, although the AO is very difficult to turn and I'm not convinced it makes a great deal of difference when it does.

The Vantage with SF is supposed to go well with these Addons.....just wondering if anyone is actually using this scope as part of their NV kit and how do they rate it?

Yes an excellent choice, have one on my .22lr and it's very good at light gathering at dusk without the nv fitted, when you do require the nv the reticule is very clear, SF is a joy to use.

For the price you can't go wrong nv or not.

Yes me too. I have one on my HMR. Previously used it with a Nighteye, now with Pulsar F155. Very good. As a dayscope it is also very good and holds zero well.

I have the 4-12x50 Vantage - have used my addon NV on my 22 with front AO - worked well but the front AO was a pain. 

Havent had a chance to zero the 17hmr yet so not used the Vantage yet 😞

Thanks chaps......I actually managed to get a very good image using the Gameking, but refocusing is nigh on impossible. Super crisp image at 100-150 yards though. Hopefully the Vantage will make things a whole lot easier.
