LiamHiggs 14 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hi all looking at a new scope for my hw100 any ideas? Quote Link to post
tomburras 2,730 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Simmons whitetail classic is a great scope and the faveroute I own. I have only ever zeroed it once when I put it on and it's never shifted its poi since one bit. The only drawback is that it has no mil dots, but they are very clear and the black granite Finnish is lovely. Iv heared ones made in the phillipeans are of better quality. Quote Link to post
John Enyedi 6 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 i use a hawk sports 6x24x50 ao ir mil dot at £120 on my bsa ultra se and a hawk sports 4x12x50 ao ir mil dot on my sfs imp (hw99s) at only £ and never had a problem with either both very good scopes Quote Link to post
magnummike 39 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Easy , got to be a Hawke Panorama with half mildot ret either a 3 9x4O ir AO or the 4 12x4O ir AO and they are by far the best scope for the money Ive used 1 Quote Link to post
Brackenharley 16 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Recently imported a Nikon Prostaff Rimfire 3-9x40, with a BDC reticle, from America. It's Parrallaxed for 50yards and so far i can't fault it. Cost about £98.00 once converted from US dollars. 1 Quote Link to post

If you can track one down,, Older Jap Tasco are absolutely amazing,, seriously top glass. Some Bushnell are OK as well, and for £150 you might even pick up a Meopta, or a Docter scope Quote Link to post

andyfr1968 772 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'vr owned four Hawke scopes and every one of them has broken on springers. I've seen three of Pianoman's Hawkes break too, amongst other friends. Crap build quality which is a shame as the glass and features are very good for the price. I'd go with the Nikon mentioned already or if you can go a little more, the Vortex Dimondback range are well worth a look. Quote Link to post

LiamHiggs 14 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks guys and really appreciate that rake aboot! What would you take on your spare hawke? Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 £65 posted mate It`s a 4-16 x 50 AO IR with the 30/30 reticule. Needs a battery for the IR but will come with quality mounts. If you want it I`ll try and get it sorted sharpish, I go back to work tomorrow night for 2 weeks 1 Quote Link to post

foxhound45 167 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Do everything in your power to bag a second-hand Bushnell Legend. Absolutely lethal scope with high quality glass from the new £1000 scope range. Unbeatable at low light conditions when you might be doing most of your evening shooting if on rabbits this summer. 1 Quote Link to post
