The Hawke Fast Mount 3-9x40 AO Mil Dot Scope is a versatile variable-magnification rifle scope with an Adjustable Objective for parallax correction. Combining a useful 3-9x magnification range with a 40mm objective lens, it is particularly well suited to air rifle shooting where targets may be encountered at different distances.
The key advantage over the standard Fast Mount 3-9x40 is the Adjustable Objective (AO), which allows parallax correction from 10 yards / 9 metres to infinity. A classic Mil Dot reticle provides multiple aim points for hold-over and hold-under, while the second focal plane optical system, 1 inch tube and capped resettable turrets provide a straightforward and dependable setup.

IS THE 3-9X40 AO RIGHT FOR ME?
The Hawke Fast Mount 3-9x40 AO is a particularly good choice for air rifle shooters who want the versatility of 3-9x magnification together with adjustable parallax. The Adjustable Objective allows the scope to be focused and corrected for parallax from just 10 yards / 9 metres through to infinity.
Compared with the standard Fast Mount 3-9x40, the major upgrade is adjustable parallax. If you do not need this adjustment, the standard 3-9x40 provides a simpler alternative.
