Hawke rifle scopes, Heard of 'em?

[Wolfdawg]

Anyone ever seen or heard of Hawke rifle scopes? Their reviws and write-ups, limited as they are, seem to be favorable. I wouldn't exactly say they are inexpensive either.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Frontier series is made in Japan and should have quite good glass for the price. Some forums say that Frontier series has been discontinued. Other scopes are made in China and glass is definitely inferior to the Japanese models. Also in U.S. the warranty isn´t probably as long as with some other manufacturers.

Hawke Sidewinder is one of the more expensive scopes in Hawke lineup. Here´s a review:
