tomburras 2,730 Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Very nice mark. I spent a long time this evening sat at a roost on my cold back side with a moderated pump 20 bore. 2 crows I dropped and nothing came afterwards, it still causes quite a commotion. I think I need some airgun practice like this! I think a hw100 in .177 and some range time is needed next. 1 Quote Link to post
philpot 5,000 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I bought my first Airmax a short while ago and have to say it is a cracker BUT it is nowhere near as good as the MTC Mamba /Mamba Lite when using the Nitesite or any other add on NV I have put on it. I now need to test my new Endurance scope which has the same reticle so may finish up with the same issue in which case both new scopes will go and I go back to MTC. Phil Quote Link to post

Phil I also bought a new Hawke endurance 6-18x50 & I’ve tried it on the Excalibre & prosport, I just can’t get away with mine, so it will be going ! Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,556 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I`m hearing that the Nikko Sterling Panamax 3-9 x 40 is proving to be a very highly rated air gun scope at a very reasonable price. Mark. 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 They are not a bad scope Mark , but not a patch on Hawks scopes . Would never touch another MTC scope . Hawke airmax to me is the best airgun scope money can buy 2 Quote Link to post
si brown 8,486 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 think its the old personal preference thing again!! ive had a few mtc scopes and a few Nico's and never got on with them, moved all of them on within weeks... I like my airmax but I like the endurance more.. basic ml dots for me Quote Link to post

Hawke airmax to me is the best airgun scope money can buy I like the scope very much Mitch, it is just not so good with my NV and as I shoot a great deal at night, it is important to me to have a scope that really works with the NV.

Mark. Had one mate, on me Fenman. Cross hairs are waaaay to thick, for me, but the FOV was literally black man massive. Glass was clear as crystal too. It doesn’t help I use AMX though, so everything is to thick for me Quote Link to post
