slave 33 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) One of my scopes is borked so i was looking to replace it with this model Hawke Panorama EV 4-12x40 AO i have looked on Deben's webpage but the waranty info is limited. Some hawke scopes come with a non transferable limited lifetime warranty which is ideal as it is for a springer but all it says on the webpage is Hawke Worldwide WarrantyWherever you are in the world, you can confidently purchase Hawke products, knowing they will give you years of trouble free service. cheers for any replies Edited August 27, 2013 by slave Quote Link to post
A1WOC 212 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I don’t know about the warranty but the Panorama is an excellent scope for the money, I have three; two 4-12x40’s and one 4-12x50. In the past I have had several MTC scopes, two Vipers, a Mamba and I still have a Viper connect; all good scopes but my preference is the Hawke Panorama. The reason I like the Panorama is the sharp and uncluttered half mildot reticle, the field of view, good optics and a price I can afford. Regards, Steve 1 Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I had a Nite Eye that had an AO problem, Could not find the receipt, but the RFD I bought it from sent it back to Deben, who fixed it and sent it straight back to me! Works properly now! 1 Quote Link to post

Andy_c 210 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I've had that model good scope I moved up to the 50mm ao the 40 had map 6a half mildot is much better! Quote Link to post
slave 33 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just got back from the shop i forgot about the two types of ret was going to get the 1/2 mildot 10x ret but just checked the box and the ret is the map6 which is the best ret for Hft? Quote Link to post
Pink or stink 162 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 If this is the MAP6A (which I think it is) then it is my preference over the 1/2 mil-dot. I find the stadia lines allow for a more precise aiming method. I find the thicker 1/2 MD too thick and clumsy in comparison. Quote Link to post

Are the mildots on the map 6a true at x 6 mag or will they work ok at x10? thanks for any help Quote Link to post
