Exactly how I feel.

Craig; a great thread you've started here and there is clearly so much love and admiration for the classic 4x32 prescription.

Hello to All,

A couple of years ago, I bought a Hawke Vantage 4 x 32, to see what one got for the monies (IIRC £60.00).

I was most surprised by the competency of the 4 x 32.

Nice fine reticule, clear glass - I really liked the Hawke

Aside from HFT (where I use 10x42), I have never used 'higher' mag scopes - I hunted for ca. fifteen (15) years with a Simmons Whitetail Classic 1-5 x 25, 'permanently' set to 3x, and found 3x mag. more than sufficient.

My shooting buddy has used a 4 x 32 for all of his shooting life.

The 4 x 32 is very much under-sung these days.

Have fun & a good Sunday

Best regards

Russ

Very nice - what reticle is in that Paul?

[Mach 1.5]

A4 ret. Very clear from 10yrds onwards. Mach 1.5

[Craig-P]

Very nice indeed mate

Wonderful purchase, Paul. It reminded me of a gift from a dear friend - Sid.

Unfortunately, I sold it, amongst other things, to fund a shotgun in 2006. Firearms are ridiculously expensive in India.

...exactly 4x32 but best scope I've had was an S&B 6x44 (42?) Kick myself every time I open the cabinets for selling it on 😭

Weaver K4:

Lovely. Saw one similar on the 'bay very recently, but the price was a bit rich for me.

Again, lovely.

I like the ret.

This thread has really crystallised what I have been thinking lately. And I have really enjoyed it.

I have just taken a punt on a very cheap Edgar Brothers 4x32, so cheap it was rude not to. No idea what they are like, we'll see.

After a bit of googling I can only find a few new 4x32's. The dearest is the have vantage ao, followed by Nikko Sterling and BSA. Have I missed any other quality offerings, couldn't find Nikon or Weaver?
