Hawke scopes

[ikarma70]

don't some of the hawke/tasco/jsr scopes come from the same factory?

[SCOTTK]

Have owned the above scopes for several years and have found these to be top performing in the relative price range. In fact I don't realy like using anything else. They both hold excellent zero and are strong waterproof and rubust and have recieved heavy hunting abuse .

I now own an MTC Viper alongside the SR12 , the MTC is a class piece of kit, but if I'm perfectly honest at high mag I dont seem much difference in the glass between this and my SR.

There seems to be a a bit of an anti Hawke bandwagon kicking about, this Im sure is justified be several of scopes Hawke make, all I can say is that the SR scopes are quality and the reticle should be applauded not ripped to pieces.

lets face it everybody is after the MP20 (?) reticle on the MTC etc. Same idea, however i find the SR easier to read and clearer in low light level shooting (might just be me).

As many have said, try a scope and make your own opinions The beauty this forum offers all its members is that you can buy kit try it and sell it if you dont like it without loosing a fourtune. most times just the postage.

SR's get the big thumbs up form me The MTC Viper is also a great piece of kit.

My brother has a surplus Pro-stalk 5-20x50 which he replaced with a leupy.

It's got a few usage marks on the AO shroud and mount areas and has a deben sticker on it if that means anything.

Could somone indicate an approximate value and does anyone want one please?

I have 2 Nite-Eyes, both great scopes never a problem.

I have just put a sr6 on a 17hmr its been on a air ranger without any trouble and it seems just as good now.

I have 2 off Hawke Reflex 3-9x40, one was fitted to my springer, but the front lens popped off twice - both times it was fixed by Hawke with no hassle.

I moved that scope to my HMR where I have had no problems

When JSR had a deal on Hawke scopes I bought another one and have that on my .22lr replacing the Nikko Sterling Gold Crown - which I didn't rate the optics on.

These scopes are faultless on my rimfires but I wouldn't have one on a springer again.

After Sales service from Deben Hawke is excellent though - so happy that I bought another one

As you can tell by my sig I love Hawkes. Just purchased an SR12 Hi mag off here,
Put it on a Raider 1 shot.
Hit 71 out of 80 last sunday at Quarnford.1st time out for both, Zero'd at 40yds on 24 mag.
Can't fault them at all.

I acquired a second hand hawke nite eye 6.5-20x50IR recently.

Does the remainder of the 10 year warranty pass over to me, or is it only valid with the original purchaser?

I have no reciept for it?

[AD_K]

Make one up.

[peter5761]

I think its 10 years on the scope, not the person,I've sent stuff back for maintenence and not had to pay a penny.All second hand gear, never been asked for a receipt either.

I have a pro stalk 4-14 x 50 on my hw97k with no problems at all but im on my 3rd reflex 4-10 x 44 on my hw80k the previous one the front lense fell to bits and the 1st one the retical lense came loose this was over a considerable time so you can imagine my frustration when my shots were going all over the place and i thought it was me

I had a 2.5-10x Varmint on my old S10k which I couldn't fault, I now have an SR6 Nighteye on my Mk3 Sport which is used only for hunting and again is faultless.

It's had some serious tests in all weather and survived a drop whilst on the rifle (dink to the front of that lovely stock and also around the PA adj. ring on the scope) but all it needed was 5 minutes to re-zero and it's been spot on since.

There's always going to be the odd item of poor quality in whatever you buy but I have to say, I've been more than impressed with the Hawke scopes I've had and the ret on the SR6 is perfect for 12ftlb hunting ranges.

They call me scopewrecker at my club because I have gone through a number of makes and models in my time. Hawke always replace them without question. That 10 yr guarantee cannot be faulted. If the shop gets funny brush up on your Sale of Goods act!

I have had no problems on PCP's - it has always been on spring guns/gas ram and I used these type of guns more than other club members. I really recommmend a Dampa mount - expensive but had no trouble since using them. This is a mount that absorbs the recoil effect on a scope by the use of rubber bushes in the mount. JSR do them - 1 piece mount £38.95. You should always use a one piece on a springer in my opinion.

Hawke pro-stalk 4-14x50. Had it a few years. Its spent time on Daystate 177, HMR and .22lr. No problems.

I too have used a Hawke pro stalk 4-14x50 since I started shooting 3 years ago. I got it for £75 from Optics with free mounts, delivery and BC flip-ups, which was half price at the time! It has never lost its zero ever and has now been on my FAC rapid for nearly 2 years and is spot on every session! Good light gathering ability in low light too! Worth the money in my opinion.
