I picked one of these up in The Airgun Centre, Rayleigh on Monday. A chap was just having one fitted to his HW100 so I thought I'd better grab one before stock ran out. Tony Belas happened to be in the shop, so I spent more time chatting to him than ogling the scope. Once I'd got home and removed it from its compact box (thankfully, not a Hawke-style burial casket!), I set about finding a rifle to attach it to. I have plenty of 30mm mounts but the BKL were much too high. Most mount manufacturers seem to expect their 30mm mounts to accommodate scopes with monster objectives, so smaller scopes tend to be perched up too high. I have a similar problem with the Leupold MR/T. Experiments so far indicate that I'm going to need much lower mounts to avoid a rick in the neck or to fit the scope on a rifle with an adjustable cheek piece, preferably one that incorporates lateral adjustment, like the Rapid Tactical.
