The Hawke Fast Mount 3-9x40 Mil Dot Scope is a versatile variable-magnification rifle scope designed for everyday air rifle and general shooting. With a useful 3-9x magnification range, it gives you a wider field of view at lower magnification while allowing you to increase magnification when a more detailed sight picture is required.
The 40mm objective provides a good balance between light transmission, size and weight, making the 3-9x40 a practical step up from the fixed 4x32 without becoming unnecessarily large. Hawke's classic Mil Dot reticle provides multiple aim points for hold-over and hold-under, while capped resettable turrets and a fast-focus setup keep operation straightforward.

IS THE 3-9X40 RIGHT FOR ME?
The Hawke Fast Mount 3-9x40 is a strong all-round choice if you want more flexibility than a fixed-power scope without needing adjustable parallax or illumination. The 3-9x magnification range covers a wide variety of typical air rifle and target shooting situations.
Compared with the Fast Mount 4x32, you gain variable magnification and a larger 40mm objective. If you want adjustable parallax, consider the 3-9x40 AO. If you prefer a larger 50mm objective or additional features such as an illuminated reticle, there are several 50mm models further up the Fast Mount range.
