Designed for use on airguns, the Hawke 3-12x40 Airmax 30 SF Compact Riflescope employs a broad magnification range, a generous objective, fully multi-coated optics, and a partially illuminated reticle. The duplex ranging AMX IR reticle is based on a mil-dot system and provides multiple aiming points on all axes, which allows you to compensate for loopy trajectories quickly without having to manipulate the windage and elevation turrets. The reticle's center crosshairs, mil dots, and stadia have six brightness levels, with off positions in between.

The scope's 40mm objective lens and 16-layer anti-reflection optical coatings increase light transmission to enhance its low-light performance, such as at dawn, dusk, or in heavily canopied woods. Capped, resettable target turrets adjust at 1/10 MRAD per click, with a total elevation and windage adjustment range of 30 MRAD, allow for precise impact point correction, and a side parallax adjustment with removable wheel allows correction of parallax errors from 10 yards to infinity. Complementing the performance of the scope is a lightweight and durable anodized aluminum housing with a robust 30mm one-piece maintube that is nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof.
