Hawke optics

[Gene64]

Anyone have any experience with Hawkes 1-4 & 1-6 lpvo’s? Looking at buying one.

No experience with their LPVO line but I did look through one of their 3-9x models at a gunshop and the glass looked really nice. Not sure on dialing or reliability.

 

[JEFFPPC]

Not those particular models but I have several Hawke scope on Springer air guns which are often referred to as s old killers. One of them has over 8000 shots lifted with it. No problem, tracks perfect and holds POI perfect. Glass for the money is very good. I look at them and then at my big name 2000 to 3000.00 scopes and think, I have been ripped off.

JeffPPC,
After looking through Hawke optics I completely understand why you feel you feel ripped off by Hawke.

Reading comprehension lifts it ugly head, again.

I was being facetious, however your comprehension ability rears its ugly head, again

Good luck with Hawke optics.....

Like @JEFFPPC, I have had a couple of the Hawke Vantage scopes for about 10 years now. One is on a springer air rifle and has endured more shots than I can count and the other is on a .22 LR. Both have nice glass and still track precisely and with a crisp click. My friend bought a couple of their higher end ones (sorry, can't remember the models) and thinks they are a lot of scope for the money. I do know they are quite popular in Europe, but I don't have any experience with their LPVO line.

It's an ugly thing. So it seems you got me. If that is so , good for you,lol. Well, at this point I have seen no faults. Will it allow you to see in a bad mirage at the same level as a scope costing many times as much, I don't know but I will find out. I think for their price range compared to the high ends they make a lot of sense for a lot of applications. Inexpensive does not mean bad just as expensive does not mean the best.

These days it's surprising that a pretty good scope can be had at a relatively low cost, and getting better every few years. China can build decent stuff, like balloons that NORAD can't detect!

Getting off topic a bit but Riton has a good deal on a 1 x 8 model. Real nice glass and price is right. The upper end Hawke look OK to me but I've never shot one.

My experience with this junk on springer air-rifles was terrible.
Most are civil when all goes well but when there is a problem determines good customer service from bad.
these people have by far the worst customer service. But that was several years ago and hopefully things may have changed.

I've had a Hawke 4-16 on a "springer" air rifle for several years and like it really well. Is the glass on par with a NF or even Sightron, of course not. But for the money it is surprisingly good.

Edit - actually it is a 2-7X32

IME, Hawke CS is great. Had a 12 year old Varmint 4-16SF. Ran it on a 243 for about 1200 rounds then to a PCP airgun. At the end, wouldn't hold adjustment. Sent it in. This particular model was no longer in production so they sent me a new current model 4-16SF to replace it.

Like you I have on one my TX 200 Springer for many years and still works great
