I have a Hawke 4-16 x 44 on sale as I am hugely reducing my springer collection but I think they are superb scopes. Have owned and returned two Veyron FFPs to OPW - really disappointed in both optically, poor eye box, but it was ropey IR that led to the returns, The Hawke IR is excellent, and complements the fantastic fine reticle which is great for hunting, plinking and targets. Have also owned and sold 2 Optisan Cps 10 x 32 and a 3-12 x 32 - nice scopes but no IR. I wear varifocals and have no problems with the Hawke Compacts, the Opticians were ok in that respect and the Veyrons were terrible.
