I don't know yet about the Hawke Vantage 4x yet, as I'm about to order one. Just bought and mounted a Leupold FX-1 2-7x33mm shotgun scope on my Henry .45 Colt rifle. I can say that one works perfectly. That Hawke will be a spare along with my Weaver Classic K4[Japan ]. I like the fixed 4x scopes, just couldn't pass up the 2-7.
