The Hawke Vantage SF 4-16x44 1/2 Mil Dot riflescope has a solid monolithic aluminium construction and a Half Mil Dot reticle. The tube has a one-inch diameter (25.4 mm).
The eyepiece features fast focus and the lenses are treated with an eleven-layer MC coating. Thanks to the construction filled with nitrogen, the objective and eyepiece lenses do not fog up and at the same time no water can enter the riflescope.
Windage and elevation adjustment is in MOA, and one click corresponds to ¼ MOA. The adjustment turrets have a low profile and are capped, so the set values cannot change without the user noticing. Parallax correction ranges from 14 yds to infinity and the variable magnification is in the range of 4–16x. The riflescope belongs to the second focal plane.
