Recommendations for a 4x32 or similar scope please

[TRS1]

As above, I would be interested in member's recommendations for a solid, well made 4x32 (or similar) scope with decent glass. Not worried about ret, as long as it's airgun friendly. Generally after something solid and simple.

What are the Hawke Vantage 4x32's like, AO or otherwise?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Two come to mind:

Sabre 4x32 from JS Ramsbottom. Very solid. Decent glass. Ludicrously cheap.

and for about twice the price...

Hawke Vantage 4x32AO. I have one of these on my .22 95 and its brilliant. I genuinely think its the best scope within the Vantage range (have also used 4-12x40 and 3-9x50). Very bright image and the ret is nice and fine too.

Nikon Prostaff 4x32, simply superb for the cash.

This is a nice solid scope for airgun use.

Yes, the sabre from JSR is great though they have gone dear now at just over £21 Inc mount!!😉

I looked through the smallest Hawke Airmax scope recently and very impressed by the razor sharp clarity on it- but its variable 2-7x32.

I should have asked before posting, whats your budget?.

Thanks for the suggestions so far - much appreciated.

Budget is flexible go a degree. I was thinking up to £60-70, but happy to wait and go higher for the right scope.

Had a quick search for the Nikon, that no longer seems available. Discontinued?

I have a Sabre too - excellent value for money.

Another vote for the Sabre (from JSR) - excellent little scope...

Uttings do stock the Nikon but are temporarily out of stock.
The turret adjustment on the Nikon is 1/4" at 50 yards. I find this not fine enough for my liking

Tim,

I bought the Hawke 4x32 AO just to see what it was like.

(IIRC, I paid about £50 for it new)

For me, I have found it to be surprisingly good, with sharp, clear optics, and a decently fine reticule (mil-dot), and so far, it has tracked and kept zero perfectly.

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards

Thanks Russ, I think that I will take a punt on this little scope.

Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions.

Cheers,

I've got a Hawke Vantage 2-7x32 AO Milldot on a rimfire and I can't fault it. Works well when lamping and whilst not as clear as the glass in my Nikon it's not far behind and certainly better than the Chinese scope that I replaced with it. It's had plenty of use/abuse and the zero hasn't shifted and the finish still looks good on it too.
