Hawke Sport Optics 1x32 Rifle, CQB & Crossbow Scope, Illuminated XB1 SR Reticle, 1/2 MOA, 1" Tube, Weaver Rings

I do like mine, very much. I have it on a Webley Alecto and figure that it will do just fine on my usual maximum shooting length of 18 yards. One thing that might interest others is that I elevated this scope with 1/2 inch risers which allows me to interlace my non-trigger hand's fingers over the top of the Alecto barrel. My thumb I put under the barrel just in front of the trigger guard. This gives me a very stable shooting arrangement. It keeps my hands closer to the body which enhances stability. Just a thought, William

Hope you like yours William...I have now had this almost a month and was going to add an update since i had a small screw come loose and for a while thought i had a broken scope....i have about 1k or more rounds thru my .22 hw97 so far and today when i was using the chrono i heard a small rattle from the scope...i at first thought it was internal damage i heard and was all prepared to consider it broke but i thru the tube with a flashlight and could not see anything loose...just as an afterthought i removed the turret cover and one of the mini screws that holds the click dial had come out and that was the loose part i heard;,,whew...put it back in and scope seems good,,so that is something to keep eye on obviously and i almost returned a good scope if i would have just assumed my springer destroyed it... Still happy with the scope tho i think if i do it over i will go with a 2 power for the bit of magnification to help shooting thru limbs...as this is obviously like open sights, tho easier to use it is hard t get on animals at times because it is only a $100 scope...its good for the money but you cant get Swarovski type image and at times i cant pick out the squirrels when looking thu the scope if they are in shadows...again it is similar to open sights so take that as part of the nature of this scope and any low price scope...still happy with it so far thouh and for my 30 yrd and less range shooting it does fine..

I like these well written comments. They cover the salient points. If you want, you can call Hawke and they will tell you whether you can put this thing on an HW97. I can vouch for the fact that they will cheerfully talk to you and tell you what you need to know. I recently had troubles with a red dot sight and traded it for one of these. I have yet to receive it but look forward to it especially now that I read the above.
