Hawke scopes

[bennyblanco]

simmons every time good quality reliable and dependable everybody knows hawk are crap they?

that freebie pro-stalk you gave me with the tx is still going strong and has needed very little re-zeroing. regularly puts in early-mid 50's scores too

love the build on the simmons pro-air but some of the others i have had were a bit poo.

Hi
sent it back, hoping to get a replacement. Supposed to have 10 year limited warranty, whatever that means. Could mean it will get replaced if they feel like it. Got it mail order from a place in Horsham(a*******direct, after 28 days all liability is down to manufacturer . Service not as good as place in Blackpool that we all know.

Hi
following up on previous post, got Hawke scope back from Deban Group Industries this morning. Been replaced with a new one, only taken 4 working days from me posting last Fri.

I am not that happy with scope, but cannot fault service, first class .

I don't think I'll put it on my springer again, don't want a repeat performance

I know where Deben have their scopes made and they are decent quality. When you pay over £100 for a scope you are not getting a Milk Bottle. The prices of Chinese optics have always been low, quality is driving up. There is crap out there but Deben scopes are not crap.

You get a decent scope for a decent price with excellent back up and good national supply.

When you are looking for a scope don't discount Deben because of a scope snobs view. Look through all the scopes in your price range and make up your own mind

I have three of their scopes and i like them very much and have no problems at all. I would buy another, no problem

[willy]

Same here I have 2 of them.
All very nice and great optics, would buy this brand again no problem.

Just a few years ago Hawke produced some of the direst scopes to ever grace a gun. The sidewinder was undoubtedly a bad joke foisted on us by marketing men who simply can't have shot a gun in their lives. The old airmax was a milk bottle bottom quality scope. Only the cheap Reflex stood out as a decent effort. These days they have removed their collective digits from their corporate bumhole and actually make some decent scopes. They have listened to shooters and actually taken advice from folk who know how to shoot an airgun. The SR range have one of the best reticles ever designed and have optics that are now perfectly useable. I know many well informed shooters who've opted for the SR6 over scopes at three or more times the price. I am one of them.

I've had Hawke varmint 11 scopes on my rifles now for 4 years and they are a nice bit of kit all day long.I've had them on powerful springers(eliminator) and been on my rapid now for 4years without ever to re-zero and very accurate.

I brought a Hawke nite-eye last year to fit on my carrer ,as I went to fit it I noticed the rough finish on the scope and inside were the sun-shade screws on,tried to screw it no but it were'nt having it,sent the scope back to uttings,replaced it for me and so this time I changed my mind and put it on the mfr.About 7months on I noticed little black speks inside the scope,thought nothing of it,as time went by the scope was getting worse,phone up uttings sent it,this time I was not going to replace it I was going to get a varmint11,much much superior then the nite-eye but I wanted a low-light scope for shooting and I asked about the MTC scopes,did abit of finding out and told uttings to hold on to the money and I will pay the diffrence and got meself one of these mtc scopes 4-16x50.

It really packs alot of surprise's the mtc scope,best len's,very well made,alot of xtra goodies and a point-able scope,yes they are afew pounds more then a varmint but as my old man say's "you get what you pay for".

I wont sell the varmint's as they are perfect on my rifles but come when they decide to give up or start to turn 20 odd colours iside the scope then I will replace them all with a mtc.

its been great

I had my Airmax SR6 for a year and now I have a Falcon Merlin and Bushnell Legend. While the SR6's optics aren't quite as good as the last two scopes, I still found it to be a very good scope. It held its zero too and was perfectly accurate for me. I wouldn't rule out buying another one, although I feel rather spoiled at present. For me, going above £350 now for a new scope wouldn't be worth it as I would be entirely happy with the quality of the products below this price. And, of course, as time moves on, the quality/price ratio should continue to improve.

I have a Hawke Sport HD 4x40, a Nite Eye 3-10x44 I think and a Varmint II 4-16x44 and I've gotta say I love 'em. not had any problems with any of them.

[alstone]

In the last three weeks I have had three Hawke spotting scopes, one Maksutov-Cassegrain £139 it broke within three days, Two Frontier 15-45x65 £300 each the first had a cracked lens and the second had a loose prisim all were sent back and I got a refund on the cost of the scopes but I still had to pay the return postage a total of £30. Hawke are trying to move up market but with there present product line up they will stay where they belong the crappist place of all the bottom.

Maybe I was just unlucky with mine, as a lot of you don't seem to have had any problems. Just have to see how replacement performs

[BANGALOOR]

my sr6 night eye is the biz, no problems had it since christmas, had the MAP 6 befor that again no problems,

[Rascal]

I have a Hawke Varmit II 4-16x44 AO on my rimfire and a 3-9x40 HD on my springer. Both have been very reliable and good value for money.

[Fien397]
