Value and Extreme Performance Blend in Two New Vantage 30 Wide-Angle First-Focal Plane Scope Models

Hawke® Optics, a world leader in high quality sporting optics with outstanding performance in the field at amazing value to consumers, proudly adds new Vantage 30 WA FFP riflescopes to the line for 2020. These wide-angle, first focal plane riflescopes offer long-range accuracy and outstanding quality at a price that is easier on the budget than the competition.

With both the 4-16×50 Vantage 30 WA FFP and 6-24×50 Vantage 30 WA FFP scopes, the First Focal Plane Half Mil Dot reticle increases in size as you increase the magnification. At the lowest setting, the reticle works similar to a red-dot scope for shooting. At the highest magnification, the reticle fills the view window. This provides range-finding abilities as the Half Mil hash marks on the reticle remain true, making it easier to estimate bullet drop at longer distances. FFP scopes are generally more expensive to produce, but that’s why you will want the Vantage advantage. Read more
