The Hawke Airmax 2-7 AO is a specialist airgun scope, designed by airgunners for airgunners who shoot at close and variable ranges. Built as the Airmax 2-7×32 with an adjustable objective, the Hawke Airmax 2-7 AO features the AMX reticle engineered for the arcing trajectories of air rifles. The 2 to 7x zoom and AO focus make it perfect for plinking, pest control, and field target work. This is a purpose-built optic that understands airgun accuracy.
What the Hawke Airmax 2-7 AO is and who it is for
This scope is made for airgun shooters who want the right magnification and parallax control for their discipline. Hawke built the Airmax specifically for air rifles, where holdover and precise focus matter far more than on a centerfire.
The lower 2 to 7x magnification range suits the typical distances airgunners shoot, keeping a wide field of view for fast target acquisition. The adjustable objective sharpens focus and removes parallax at those short ranges, which is key for accurate shooting. For hunters of small pests and dedicated plinkers alike, this scope fits the mission.
Key features of the Hawke Airmax 2-7 AO
- AMX glass-etched reticle based on the spacing of a 10x Mil Dot.
- Half Mil Dot spacing on the lower post for extra long-shot aim points.
- Horizontal bars calculated at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 mil spacing.
- Hollow posts segmented into mil spacing for bracketing distance.
- Adjustable objective for precise focus and parallax control.
- Nitrogen purged, shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof construction.
Specifications woven together
The Airmax runs a 2 to 7x magnification range on a 32mm objective, with an adjustable objective for parallax control at airgun distances. The AMX reticle is based on the spacing of a 10x Mil Dot, giving multiple aim points that are genuinely useful when shooting air guns with their loopy trajectories. Half Mil Dot spacing on the lower post provides increased aim points for longer shots.
The horizontal bars are calculated at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 mil, and the hollow posts are segmented into mil spacing so you can bracket a target to estimate range. The scope is nitrogen purged, shockproof, waterproof, and fog proof, so it stands up to weather and the unique two-way recoil of spring air rifles. It is all-calibre rated and backed by the Hawke warranty.
Setup, care, and compatibility
Mount the Airmax in quality rings on your air rifle, level the reticle, and use the adjustable objective to dial out parallax at your shooting distance. Learn the AMX aim points on paper so your holdovers become instinctive. Find matching rings in our optics collection.
Care is easy. Keep the glass clean with a soft cloth, protect the lenses between sessions, and confirm your zero if you change pellets or move the scope. The sealed, fog proof build handles the elements without complaint.
Purpose-built for pellet slingers
Airgun accuracy lives and dies on parallax control and holdover, two things a general-purpose scope rarely handles well. This optic was designed by airgunners to solve both. The adjustable objective sharpens focus and removes parallax at the close ranges where a small error means a clean miss.
The lower 2 to 7x magnification keeps a wide, forgiving field of view that is ideal for quick shots on pests and fast follow-ups. The AMX reticle then provides a ladder of aim points so you can hold dead-on across a range of distances once you learn the tree.
Sealed against the elements and rated to survive the two-way recoil of spring piston air rifles, it is built to keep its zero where lesser scopes shake loose. For plinking, pest control, or field target, it fits the mission perfectly.
For a compact, dedicated airgun scope, the Hawke Airmax 2-7 AO delivers. Ships direct to your door, no FFL required.
