    I've just ordered one of these to mount on a springer. If its anywhere near as good as my 2 Airmax 3-12x44AO SR6's I will be more than happy

    I've owned a few Hawke scopes and I can't remember ever being disappointed with any of them.

    I'll add my findings to this review when I've put it through its paces

    I have also just bought a Hawke scope with illuminated mil dot reticle. The one I have is a 2-7X32 AO IR.

    I am pretty nooby to scope information but I presume the 2-7 is the times magnification however I don't know what the X32 part means...

    I was told its enough for hunting where I will be taking shots up to 40 yards.

    I have to admit though, the red or green illumination is sweet!!

    Hawke scopes

    Good to hear a happy airgunner , I have owned a few scopes although none of them too expensive but i have to say the Hawke scopes i have had have all been great(beating some well known brands) , very clear picture , well made, and a price range / spec to suit everyone

    If you get the chance try out the Hawke Eclipse 30 IR 3-12X56 with L4 dot illuninated reticule i have one on my .223 Tikka and they are brilliant ! would defo buy another if needed , they are around £180 - £200 but well worth it
    Enjoy yourself........it's later than you think !!!

    I have three

    2xSR6
    1xSR12

    All on firearms and they do well.
    My .17HMR and .22 Hornet (SR12) both shoot 200m+ with them and no bother with the scopes.
    Rapid MKII FAC sports the other SR6
    Chinese springer 0.22, HW100 .177. Selection of powder burners
    When there were extra pies to eat, I avoided them.

    Hawke do seem to give great value for money, which is very important to this Yorkshireman

    I have 3 Airmax 3-12x44AO SR6's and find them perfect for me.

    I did try the HD Sport and found it to be very good for the price tag but found I prefer the SR6 ret.

    The Airmax Map6 is also worth a look as a budget springer scope.
