    Uttings sold it as the MX Nighthawk, apparently. Not sure what sorry outfit actually made it.

    On a positive note it does look in great condition.....I wonder why

    Talking about "Wildlife"....it reminds me of that quote from Boris The Blade (Snatch)...."If it doesn't work....you can always hit them with it!!!"

    Even the ad above says Umarex: 'MX Nighthawk from Umarex'. Maybe they thought that giving it a cool name like Nighthawk would make it more attractive. Wonder what the MX stood for?
