Half mildots panorama for me, had mine for nearly a year not done much shooting mind but really like it. MTC are just too busy with the xmas tree ret for my eye

UPDATE :
Just put my 4-12x40 on my CRX and I still cannot believe how clear it it , I have a couple of bushnells and a Menace at the moment and it simply blows them away for clarity . Never really used anything other than mil dot scopes but the hawkes half mil dot ret seems very good .
I wonder if all these scopes are this crisp or have I been lucky to get a VERY good one ?

I've used a few various scopes but this scope is amazingly clear and too much fun. I brought my air rifle with my Panorama EV scope on to my new local gun dealer the other day and even he was impressed. He told me he sells tonnes of the cheap Hawke scopes as that's what sells most but he'd never had the opportunity to try out one of these until the other day and he put this on par with his bushnell scope.
I can't recommend this scope enough!!!
I have just bought a Panarama 4-12x40 ao to replace my sidewinder and i am very impressed with it
The sidewinder had to come off due it being 933grams with mounts and sidewheel
I went with the half mildot version, same as my sidewinder
It is very clear with a good field of view and being under 500grams doesnt upset the balance
Overall a nice little scope..

Just as an update to my original thread. Having recently decided to go down the high mounts 40 yard zero route with my HW80, I decided that the Simmons WTC 3-10-50 that has lived on the gun happily for eight years needed to be put into retirement. I needed a scope with half mil dots to aid with shot placement and dropped into Blackpool for a chat with Lloyd and the lads.
It seems that the AO range now comes with the option of the half mil, something not available when originally released. Anyway, as I will be using the gun for both field work and HFT, the specification that suited me best was the 3-9-40 with adjustable objective. I was well chuffed when I realised that this scope now comes with the genuinely useful (in my opinion) half mil scale. Parting with my hard earned and heading off to my clubs outdoor range for a zeroing session, I would have to say that I am even more impressed with this little scope than I was with the original one (4-12-40) that I had. The additional aim-points are really useful and not just a gimmick, and the image remains remarkably clear for such a relatively cheap scope.
I can only confirm my original comments that this range of optics truly represents excellent value for money. I now look forward to seeing how it performs in the real world, although with the parallax set at 25 yards and the 40 yd zero, I am confident that it will do the gun it sits on top of justice. Its just a pity that it is me that has to let them down by pulling the trigger!
