mattwhite 1,993 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 After seeing a few woodies on one of my perms today I had a drive over this evening with a bit of roost shooting in mind but unfortunately the wind had got up and nothing was coming in so an hour walking the outskirts of a small copse resulted in these 3 coneys from 25 out to 43 yards so not a bad night?? 6 Quote Link to post

I actually had her out plinking this afternoon Si.Yes this afternoon we have had white horses. North westerly and yet while I was out, one minute it's blowing in my face then blowing up my arse and the trees were all over the place hence why I opted for the bunnies. The 43 yarder had 1 mildot to the left as it was blowing side on!! 2 Quote Link to post

Now this is a talking point... I know you two have them or have had them as you say Si, along with others, so it's an opinion, but I thought the vantage range were a bit tac compared to the other units offered by Hawke, I know there the entry level. So hear me out. Bought a 3-9 myself for my rapid a while ago now, having used airmaxs for sometime. The cheapest airmax is say.......... Right, don't listen to me, I've been smokin Just checked uttings. I swear the last 3-9 vantage I bought was high side of 100 beans. But clearly there not now. I was about to moan about the quality difference between the airmax and vantage. But I won't However, looking again, and on a different subject, the 4-12x40 AO optic is quid, the next three in the vantage range are 170+ that's a ton difference for the same model just extra features... a ton extra for a SF and probably 1/2 inch aim points?! Get an Airmax. No, don't, get a Panarama 1 Quote Link to post
