The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other optics: binoculars, telescopes, spotting scopes, rifle and hunting scopes, rangefinders, night vision and monoculars we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Hawke AHAW14241-22113 is a rimfire optic combining 4-12x magnification with an illuminated red/green reticle. The Weaver mount makes it broadly compatible with many rimfire platforms, and the aluminum construction keeps the package reasonably light.
The illuminated reticle gives shooters the option to dial in a visible aiming point across different lighting conditions, which is a practical feature at this price point. At 4x on the low end there is enough field for close-range work, while 12x covers medium distances typical of rimfire use.
Priced at $299.99, this scope sits in a competitive segment where buyers expect durable construction, clear glass, and reliable zero retention. The 4.8-star average across 38 reviews suggests the scope delivers on those basic expectations for its intended rimfire application.
Pros
- High 4.8-star average rating across 38 reviews
- 4-12x magnification range suits rimfire distances well

- Aluminum construction keeps weight manageable
Cons
- Objective lens spec data appears anomalous, so actual light-gathering capability is uncertain

Frequently asked questions
Is the Hawke AHAW14241-22113 suitable for airguns?
The scope is marketed primarily as a rimfire optic and uses a Weaver mount, which is common on both rimfire and airgun platforms. Whether it is rated for airgun recoil specifically is not stated in the available product data, so checking Hawke's published specifications for airgun compatibility before purchasing is advisable.
What does the illuminated reticle offer on this scope?
The reticle is illuminated in both red and green, giving you the option to choose a color that contrasts best with your target and background. This is a practical feature for varying light conditions. Brightness adjustment settings are typical for scopes in this class, though the exact number of settings is not specified in the available data.
Does this scope come with rings or a mount?
The product listing references a Weaver mount interface, but whether rings are included in the box is not confirmed by the available product data. Verify what is included before ordering if you need a complete mounting solution. Questions can also be directed to hello@visionhut.com.
