Not exactly a review this, rather a general overview. I have a number of Hawke scopes including 3-9x40, 6x40 and 6.5-26x52 and, in my opinion, they're excellent optics. And in case you're thinking "this guy's not used anything else", I also have a couple of Leupolds and a Bausch & Lomb and am used to peering through Leica binoculars. I don't think the scope will disappoint.
