As hunting season approaches Hawke Optics has unveiled its latest offering to the Straight-Wall, Slug, and Muzzleloader gun optics scene. The Hawke Vantage IR scope is a 3-9x40IR scope which is said to bring more accuracy to your muzzleloaders and other hunting guns.

This should be especially popular in regions where the above guns have some of the longest seasons and centerfire rifle guns are not permitted for hunting. See Hawke Optics full press release below.

Hawke Optics Introduces New Vantage IR Scope for Straight-Wall Guns

The Latest Value-Packed Addition to the Vantage Line Helps Boost Performance for Slug Guns, Muzzleloaders and Rifles Chambered for Straight-Wall Cartridges

Hawke^® Optics is a world-wide leader at producing quality sporting optics that perform in the field at a terrific value to the consumer. The new Vantage IR 3-9x40IR Scope brings new levels of accuracy and value to slug guns, muzzleloaders and rifles chambered for straight-wall cartridges. Mount one to your gun and experience how easy it is to bring the thump exactly where you want it.

Many hunting areas that are close in proximity to towns and population centers restrict hunting to Slug Gun, Muzzleloader or Straight-Wall cartridges. They are expected to be “pretty accurate” to a certain range. These firearms don’t have the stylish performance of a 1,000-yard rifle, but for those who hunt with these cartridges, whether it’s mandated or by choice, can be just as accurate and are widely known to be very lethal on game. This new Hawke Optics Vantage IR Scope brings a new level of optic precision while keeping within the theme of being a great value to the consumer.

The Vantage 3-9x40IR is a serious hunting scope. It comes loaded with 11-layer fully-multicoated optics that provide an amazing level of clarity and image quality you’d expect from a higher price range optic. It has an easy-to-mount one-inch main tube chassis. The reticle is glass-etched with selectable red/green illumination and a five-position adjustable rheostat on the saddle. Dialing it in is easy with ¼-MOA No Snag fingertip-adjustable, low-profile turrets that will help you get on target and stay there. Fast-focus adjustment with a high-torque zoom ring help with target acquisition and you’ll enjoy plenty of eye-relief when you send the thump from a hard-recoiling round. The Vantage Slug Gun / Muzzleloader / Straight-Wall Scope is nitrogen purged and is water, fog and, most importantly, shock proof. It can handle the heaviest hitting loads out there. This scope also has a fixed parallax distance of 100 yards and makes for an amazing optic to mount on any gun out there.

Like all Hawke Optics products, the Vantage IR 3-9×40 IR Slug Gun / Muzzleloader / Straight-Wall Scope carries Hawke’s No-Fault Lifetime Warranty. No questions asked – it’s covered. Getting serious about your hunting and shooting doesn’t have to carry a high cost anymore.

The Hawke Optics Vantage IR Scope is available directly from Hawke optics for $189.00 (MSRP). The scope comes complete with a scope alignment booklet, lens covers, and a lens cloth.
