It's often said that their lower range scopes are very good for the money, but that their more expensive stuff isn't as good as similarly priced competition.

I wish I was in the land of cotton.
Has anyone reviewed the new Vantage Range; on first impressions they look really well made and the glass seems crisp...
Thoughts?

Use a couple of Hawke scopes myself and find them spot on for .22 air, .22LR and 17HMR shooting. Good value for money.
I've had a 3-9x40 vantage scope and honestly its one of the best scopes I've had, very well built fairly light weight and very good glass for the money
Thanks guys; they do seem very good for the money, the 3-9x40 is only £50 with the mounts.
I was going to buy another MTC but the price has gone up a lot over the last 6 months with no real explanation to why..

I'm looking for a Hawke scope for a HW100 for target shooting at around 35-40 yards anyone recommend one
Hawke's Sidewinder 30 is IMO all the scope you will ever need for airgun use. Not only are they sharp and clear optically with superb reticules but their mechanics are very precise and repeatable. The turrets can be relied upon to dial in the requisite number of clicks to move the poa precisely the predicted amount. But don't take my word for it check out the results from the 2014 extreme bench rest (long range target shooting which list the shooters rifle and scope) in Arizona and you can see how many top target shooters use this scope. see http://www.extremebenchrest.com/2014...match-results/
Ok it isn't the cheapest in the range but at round £320 to £360 it's value for money. Also Deben - Hawke agents have superb customer service should you ever have a problem.
The Airmax 30 SF is a little cheaper and also quite good but not as good as the sidewinder which I use on my HW100 and Wolverine as well as FX Wildcat

I find the MTC Connect very good, the wide field of view and minimal parallax error is good for all ranges.
i have a airmax 30 3x12x50 on my r10 its perfect optics is so clear you can see the rats blinking lol
I'm a big fan of Hawke scopes, excellent value for money and a super warranty from Deben.
In the Vantage range I've had/got the 3-9x40 ir .22lr ret, 3-12x44 sf half mil dot & 4-16 sf ir 10x half mil dot, & I've also got a 6-24x50 Airmax 30 sf & 4-16x50 Sidewinder 10x half mil dot.
I've had a couple that went back under warranty, both replaced without argument within a week.
just picked two varmint up brand new must be old stock carnt believe how good they are
Hawk scopes are not to bad at all I have them on most of my rifles last week end I got myself a nice sidewinder I've only had the time to zero it but it appears to be very good. Im thinking of getting the Airmax for my Saxon.
