The New Airmax Scopes are the Ultimate in Accurate Second Focal Plane Air Rifle Optics

Hawke® Optics, the world leader in premium optics for modern, high-powered air rifles and other quality sporting optics that perform in the field, has added a new series to its stellar line of Airmax Air Riflescopes – the new Airmax 30WA SF. Like the rest of the Airmax lineup, these scopes were developed for air rifles by serious air rifle shooters to bring precise accuracy shot after shot.

Modern air rifles produce more speed, accuracy and performance than ever before. But even the best air rifle is still only as good as the optic that sits atop it. That is where the Hawke Optics Airmax series of cutting-edge air riflescopes comes into play.

“Air rifles have come so far in terms of speed, technology, craftsmanship and purpose,” said Kevin Sheehan, V.P. of Sales and Marketing for Hawke Optics. “We worked with air rifle specialists who demand absolute perfection from their equipment when we developed the latest series of Airmax optics, and the new Airmax WA SF scopes fill the needs of many air rifle shooters, whether they are plinking at targets in the backyard, shooting in competition, or hunting game animals. We took the development of these scopes seriously, because these shooters demand that high level of dedication to accuracy.”

The Airmax 30 WA SF scopes are built on a one-piece aluminum 30mm chassis. They have Side Focus parallax adjustment that can focus down to 10 yards and have additional Side Focus wheels supplied in the box. The adjustable red-illumination rheostat is now positioned on the end of the side focus turret, instead of the ocular bell, making attachment of night vision add-ons easier. The illumination has six brightness levels with off positions in between, allowing for maximum visibility and versatility in any lighting condition. These second focal plane scopes feature Hawke’s H2 Optics system with 16 layer fully multi-coated lenses, fast-focus eyebells, capped target turrets and on adjustable power models, a high-torque zoom ring. These scopes can handle the brutal recoil produced by air rifles and remain on target.

The Airmax WA SF scopes all have the AMX IR glass etched reticle, which is based on a mil-dot reticle but calibrated specifically for air rifles. The AMX IR offers multiple aim points, letting shooters stretch the limits of air rifle range. The reticle has Half-Mil Dot spacing on the lower post that gives you additional aiming points as the range opens up. The horizontal bars are positioned at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 Mil spacing. Hollow posts are segmented into Mil spacing and can be used for bracketing. The mil spaced reticle and 1⁄10 MRAD turrets make for easy point of aim adjustment with resettable target turrets for easy return to zero.

There are four models in the lineup including the straight 10-power Airmax WA SF 10x44 with a field of view of 12 feet at 100 yards. The Airmax WA SF 4-16x50 has a field of view of 30.7-7.7 ft. at 100 yards. Likewise, the 6-24x50 has a 20.3-5.1 ft. field of view at 100 yards and the 8-32x50 Airmax WA SF scope has a field of view of 16.1-4 ft. at 100 yards. Each model has wide angle optics with 4-inches of eye relief. They come with a 4-inch sun shade, a 4-inch side wheel and metal, flip-up covers. As you would expect, the entire Airmax WA SF lineup is covered by Hawke’s No-Fault Lifetime Warranty and are fully nitrogen purged to be water, shock and fog proof. Learn more at hawkeoptics.com.

Interesting ...

ONLY the 4-16 x50 is SFP, where the 6-24 is a FFP in this new WA series AIRMAX.

At least how the data reads ????




Their website shows they have the new models in both SFP and FFP in 4-16x50 and 6-24x50. Somebody needs to get one (cough, Motorhead, cough…) and tell us how it ranges at 40-55 yards😬.


Yea the $ 100,000 question being how many degrees of SF rotation between 10-55 yards ... along with, does it have a SHALLOW FOV & snap in / out well or a DEEP FOV and not too precise having parallax used for this purpose ?



Interesting question i certainly don't know ?
 
Hawke,

🔹 appreciate the wide field of view you are trying to achieve with this series. 👍🏼 This help with rapid target acquisition for us hunters.



🔹 Just a couple of months ago I added all the new 2020/2021 Hawke scopes that are appropriate for the Scope Specs Tables that I publish on 7 AG and PB forums.

Now you bring out more! Great! 👍🏼





🔹May I make an observation?

After reviewing the specs of your very extensive offering of scopes I noticed that Hawke SFP scopes calibrate the reticles at either 10x or 20x — and NEVER at the maximum magnification (exception: some 4-20x scopes, by coincidence).



However, other brands like the new Element SFP scopes seem to offer the calibration at the maximum magnification (along with other brands like Sightron, Aztec, and Riton).



🔹For the shooter it is very hard to find and exactly dial the magnification that the reticle has been calibrated for — especially in the rush of a hunting scenario.

➔ So it would seem to make sense that the calibration point is at the maximum magnification — which is usually also the magnification for target shooting — where measuring the offset with the reticle is most appropriate: Measure how many mils high and left, and dial those mils on the turrets — and your're ready for the follow-up shots!



➔ At least the calibration point of the reticle should be easy to find when changing the magnification — without having to take the eye from the scope, of course. 

For that your Airmax 30 Touch 3-12x32 is a step in the right direction. However, it seems to be the only scope that has this helpful feature.



🔸I wonder if Hawke would offer us a 4-24x SFP calibrated at 24x, or a 4-16x SFP scope calibrated at 16x, or a 3-12x SPF calibrated at 12x? 🤔
