some bloke 60 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Most Hawke scopes are good.... if they have a side wheel focus. I use a Hawke Varmint 3-12x44 SF on my HMR. If buying one it will suit more N V variations if it has a smooth uncluttered eye bell, fairly low turrets and fairly low starting mag: 3-4 starting mag is ideal with a HMR for bunny ranges. You probably won't want to use an illuminated retical. Set it up to suit your eyes for daylight or lamping then adjust the NV camera lens focus to get a sharp crosshair without shifting the ocular so its in focus with or without the NV. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks I will get one of these scopes for him to try, but looking at all the tape and wires around this NV he just purchased, I think will end up in the bin.

Lol Lol, It's a catch 22 situation: The largest share of the market with minimum time/investment from the supplier attracts buyers who may otherwise not have bought one. Where are you BTW?

shropshire dan 467 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 +1 for MTC I used a nitesite eagle on my mtc viper and it was amazing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonjon79 13,358 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I use a NS Viper and an NVUK kit. So far they've both worked well on a couple of different MTC Vipers, a Falcon Menace 4-14x44 and a Hawke Airmax 4-16x50. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
