Hawke airmax 30 6-24x50 telescopic sight, RRP £309
The quality of Hawke scopes just keep getting better, the optical clarity and finish of the scope is fantastic, the scope picture only going slightly milky of full power which I kind of expected but is still totally usable. The reticule is the Hawks and which is a modified mildot which is great, and illuminated by a rheostat so totally variable (not 8 or so fixed steps). Side wheel focus / range markings where accurate enough for me for normal air gun ranges - a 40mm none marked side wheel is also available. The adjustment turrets have a brilliant ¼ turn locking system and are resettable. The resettable turrets are the let down of this scope, the turret has 3 grub screws which tighten onto a plastic drum, once the turret has been reset, the grub screws mark the plastic drum which prevents fine re -setting of the turrets. This is a major downfall of the scope as the resettable turrets were one of the main features that attracted me to the scope. It could have been so different if it was a harder material so prevented damage in this way.
The scope is supplies with 3inch side wheel, front and rear metal lense covers and 3 inch screw in sunshade
Overall, would I buy again, unfortunately not. I would save my money and buy a sidewinder.
Available from all good gun shops.
