Hawke Match 1" Rings, Medium Reviews

Nice finish, strong overall design.

Eliminate the grip tape inside the rings; it is a fail. Machine rings to closer tolerances. Make stop screw flat on the bottom instead of pointed.

Installed these on an RWS 34P with a Hawke Airmax 4-12 x 40. Torqued base screws to 30 in. lbs, cap screws to 16 in. lbs, per Hawke specs. After about 150-200 shots, my groups opened way up. I noticed the grip tape sticking out. The scope had moved back in the rings about 1/8". I removed the ring caps and the scope. The rubber tape came apart. I cleaned everything off and reinstalled the scope without the tape, this time torquing the cap screws to 20 in. lbs. After 50 shots, my groups began to open up again, and I noticed the scope had moved back about 1/16". Took everything apart again, and noticed that the rings had left some marks on the scope tube. It appears that the rings were barely making contact. Left the scope off and ordered a set of Sportsmatch rings. Hopefully they will hold better that these. For comparison, I have a Beeman R1, which is a fairly powerful springer, with an older Nikon scope in Beeman rings, that I installed over 10 years ago. That scope has never budged.

They are reasonably priced, not sports match quality but completely serviceable. Fit 3/8 and 11mm. I used these on a PCP they do have a scope stop pin for springer use.

Get rid of the no mar grippy tape inside the ring and machine to size.

Hawke rings height are different from sports match and allow you to maintain clearance in certain applications and keep the scope closer to the bore. I keep several different brands in different sizes on hand to get proper set up with out having to compromise.

It works perfect on my 22 no problems thanks

No problems so far

Excellent product.

I purchased these to replace a new set of a different manufacturer that I had purchased off ebay trying to save a few bucks. They were trash and a total waste of money.

Two lockdown screws per side to secure each ring. Rubber lining inside ring to prevent marring scope and also prevent scope slippage. Stop pin is a screw which can be adjusted down into stop pin hole in rifle receiver after ring bottom is mounted, which is much easier to install than simple straight pins which must be tapped into position before bottom ring is installed.

Tip of stop screw is tapered into a point. If the tip of the stop pin screw were flat it might allow better contact inside stop pin hole in rifle's receiver. Depending on the depth of the stop pin hole in your rifle's receiver, the tapered pin might not allow much metal contact, which could reduce the stop pin's effectiveness.

I have used several of these mounts and find them a good mount, reasonably priced.

Very easy to install. They allowed a better head placement on the stock

Nothing

The mounts have been used for at least a tin of pellets. No adjustment or tightening has been needed.

Much higher quality than expected at this price point. Good alignment front mount to rear mount.

Nothing

Torque settings for ring screws and windage screws are only 16 in-lb and 30 in-lb respectively, much lower than most other scopes I've worked with.

Nice rings for the price.

Somehow, I thought I had ordered 30mm rings. I got 1 inch rings. Threw them in my box of spare stuff and reordered the 30mm.

Fast shipping and delivery.

Nice mounts seem very solid and well made.

I mounted my scope with the Hawke 1 in. rings, medium high, 9 to ll mm proved to be excellent rings. When mounting the scope to my Marauder Air Rifle I made very little adjustment. The rings have two screw for each ring top and bottom, it also has tape to protect the scope on the inside of the rings.

Nothing.

One of the aides I used was two aligning bars to make sure the rings were aligned so the scope would not be off set.

I like how they clamp down more snugly to the receiver. And the tape-like material inside the saddles is a better material than the usual to help hold the scope in place. I like the gusseted caps for added strength too.

I wouldn't change a thing!

Using the lowest scope mounts that will fit the rifle minimizes parallax. Making for greater accuracy at longer ranges. And also using quality scope mounts to securely lock the scope in place helps when you can't afford to miss!

Fit well to dovetail.. scope mounted in them just fine. No issues

Nothing

Not bad for the money
