Hi
Had my Hawke mil dot 6.5-20x50AOIR Nite-eye for about 12 weeks, supposed to be fogproof, waterproof and shockproof and rated for spring guns .
Firstly dirt appeared on inside, black spots on inside ocular lens. Then it started rattling as my HW97k shook everything loose, even the lenses came loose. Contacted a well known air rifle shop in Blackpool, was told that quite a few Hawke scopes had experienced similar problems .
Mil dot reticle quite nice but Gorilla's hands needed to turn on IR, as very tight overall not good value. At £160+mounts+sunshade+flip up covers
Optics never seamed as clear as MTC or Simmons, worth paying extra £40 or so for MTC as comes with mounts, flip up covers and sun shade.
Maybe somebody has had similar experience with Hawke
