New Glass for my HW100kt.

[Tom21 0]

Well guys as you can see from the title im looking for a new scope to go on my hw100, the one i have now ( a hawke map pro) will be going back on my 97k now i have decided to keep it.

 

Im looking for something max. £270 as good quality glass as possible ( no point putting crap scopes on a good gun).

 

Id like something with magnification in the range if 4 - 14 as i want to use it for hunting and for trying my hand at hft.

 

Side parallax would be great, IR would be nice because i have bad eye site and find the black to be a strain alot of the time as i shoot at night.

 

Any recommendations would be greatfuly received. With regards to weight it isnt much of an issue any more because i will be using either a bipod or shooting sticks for sitting, kneeling and standing shots.

Hawke Side Winder Tac 30 is what i use on my HW100S and its very good.

 

4.5-14x42 IR SF = £229 from Blackpool Air Rifles.

I use the Nite Eye SR6 on my HW 100, to good effect as well! Lovely scope!

Hawke Nite-eye 6.5-20x50 AO (not sidewheel though) IR.

 

Have one on mine and it's a fine piece of kit for the money - about £235 I believe.

thanks for the advice guys! must admit si, the hawke sidewinder tactical has really caught my eye. looks the mutz nuts. the side paralax will really come in handy to help with my range finding

hi davy, thats another scope ive been looking at. how do you find the removable IR thing? seems like a good idea - can take it off when i dont need it.

got an mtc viper on mine

does the optical quality of the viper compare to that of the more expensive side winder?

What size scope mounts you think would be suitable for the model Si recommended? Mediums? id like to get the scope as close to barrel as possible.

i haven't looked through a viper,all i can say these optics are very clear.and that's coming from some one who owns a hawke!

if you would like to get it close to the barrel ,then get the low mounts! but Si's Advise is always top notch!

i have high mounts on my AATX200HC and I still get good results!

 

the choice is yours

Hi Tom,

 

As already as been said if you want to get close to the barrel use the lowest mounts that will suit your scope and objective lens.

 

I like to use high mounts with all my rifles as I find it gives me a better and more comfortable cheek position but that’s just down to personal opinion and feel really.

 

To be honest it doesn’t matter as long as you do your trajectory home work and learn your rifles shooting characteristics buddy.
