Page 3 - Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 AO Rifle Reviews

Unbelievable!!!! This is the perfect scope for the Beeman HW97K .177cal. Best bang for the buck!!! Optics are as clear as some of the best.

Nothing!!!

Pyramyd Air was very helpful and professional!!! Thanks, Greg!!! Very fast shipping too!!! WOW!!

Just awesome! Optics are crystal clear, reticle is very fine and turrets are easy to turn with positive clicks that hold position. I am still trying to figure out how to use the MAP 6 reticle.

If I had to do it over again, I probably would have gone with the 50mm size just for the extra light gathering ability of the scope. Nonetheless, this scope is mounted on an AA S510 and is a pleasure to use.

I Like this scope because it's still shooting on target after 600 to 800 shots

Very good value for the money.

I live in the country. Lots of neighbors have Powder Burning rifles. When they eye this scope they can't believe the clarity for the price.

This scope was absolutely perfect for my needs- it is optically very clear, magnification range is very good, adjustment turrets are very nice (I liked the fact that the turret caps have few threads so that they are quickly removed and replaced) This is my first Hawke scope but it will not be my last.

Nothing

This Hawke scope showed excellent workmanship and exterior finish. Will look good on your air rifle. Excellent value for your hard-earned dollar.

Its new so I can't fault the scope yet. Turret has nice feel to the clicks. Clear optics.

The shade piece doesn't come with the scope, but you can buy it from their website

The lens covers didn't fit the shade piece. So I had to wrap tape around it to get it to stay on. Stupid flip ups.

Surprisingly good optic quality

At this price point... nothing

An excellent value

This scope is mounted on my Marauder .177 cal, my daily shooter so to speak. The scope is clear and bright allowing shots to be taken late dusk or early dawn. Although the adjustment caps are easy to cross thread, with care they can be operated wearing shooting gloves. The adjustments themselves are a breeze to use. This scope allows for dime size patterns at 25 yards and one inch patterns at 50 yards.

Sure wish we could make this in the USA!

The Map 6 is great, I zero at 30 yards and adjust one mil-dot for every 5 feet. Great for hunting at varied distances.

Good scope, handy reticle. Easy to click knobs. Clear manual

Would like shades, for the eyepiece and objective. Scope covers rather than flip ups.

Get chairgun and brc apps, for computer and/or mobile, with them you can map out trajectories

Everything so far... There's nothing so far that I don't that isn't excellent about this scope.

nothing

I mounted this on my Theoben Crusader in .20. I've shot a lot of rounds with this combo and so far it holds zero and the optics are bright and clear. Also note that I do have the Dampa mount on my gun, but either way, i think this is a great scope for a spring or gas ram gun and I will be buying another.

my first scope. bright as mentioned. many adjustments. very nice...actually pretty cool just to look through.

nothing to my knowledge

it takes a steady shot to hit the bullseye. i have a marauder and may adjust the trigger.

Very clear...

Airgun proof. Clear optics. Big, easy to use turrets. Nice reticle. Free BRC software. Reputation.

Nothing.

I purchased this scope for my Diana 350 Magnum. So far so good. Comes with a good warranty.

Good, clear optics. Reticle and Mil-Dots are finely etched and thin enough to not obscure the target at long range

A side wheel focus knob would be great on these mid-range scopes

Hawke scopes are a notch up in quality from the Leapers scopes. The optics are better and the adjustment knobs/rings are smoother. Good value for the money.

cotinuation of the below review, I ordered this Hawke 4x12 for my friend and sighted it in yesterday, today he came over and shot it.. After about 5 groups of five at 16 yards he said wow, this is almost cheating, his small group was 1/8 center to center using JSB Match Diabolo Exact .177 Cal, 8.4 Grains, Domed, 500ct From PA on the Beeman R1 20 years old the biggest groups were about 5/16 to 3/8 at the worst By the way he is 68 and I am 69

I ordered this one for a friend, I have the 2x7 power Hawke from PA on my RWS, what a difference, wish I had got this one, PA was a little slow shipping, took 26 hours from cleveland to Ypsilanti mi, It was put on a Beeman R1, old 20 years gun, used the Leapers Accushot 1" Rings, Medium, 3/8" Dovetail, 4 Screws/Cap for $9.99 what great rings, with out loctite they hold , just barly cleared the Barrel by 1/4 inch with the medium rings but better closer than high

nothing, you can put this on any gun and be happy

Man this is a good scope, the combo of the Hawke 4X12 and the Leapers Accushot 1" Rings, Medium, 3/8" Dovetail, 4 Screws/Cap is great,
No one beats to the door pricing on every thing I have bought from them, up to 33 percent less, don't bother looking any more for better pricing, not gonna happen

Well made, easy to mount. Very good optics for the money. Seems to work well with my springer. Turrets easy to turn.

Nothing at this point.

Very good product for a beginner air shooter. Very good optics for aging eyes.

Appears to be fairly well made... as nice a fit and finish, equal to similar scopes costing twice or more. Not the clarity of a Leupold or Zeiss, but not the price either. Perfect for a recreational plinker/target shooter.

A bit finer reticle... but thats splitting hairs. ;-)

Quite satisfied with my Hawke Airmax... I'll be looking at Hawke again for my next optic purchase.

Clear optics, objective and zoom ring are smooth and not too hard to turn, turrets click nicely unless something shatters inside. The MAP6 reticle is nice, so make sure you get over to Hawke's website and download the BRC software to take full advantage of it.

It would be nice if Hawke offered the Airmax line with side-focus and a 50mm objective on the 4-12x. A 4-16x50mm with side focus would be even better.

My Airmax 4-12x lasted for about 300 shots on my RWS 52 and suddenly something broke inside which doesn't allow me to adjust the windage turret. Never fear though, the people at Hawke Optics were glad to back up their warranty. I sent the scope in today for a free repair/replacement.

Very well built. Clear optics. Great warranty.

The AO and magnification wheels are very stiff. In talking to the representative at Hawke, he mentioned that it was built like that on purpose - to be able to withstand the heavy recoil of magnum springers.

Great scope.

Clear optics. Tough scope - handles recoil of a FWB 124 well. Value price. MAP 6 software.

Adjustable objective is very tight - most Hawkes are built this way though. Turrets can't be rezero'd.

This is a set it and forget it scope. When coupled with the MAP 6 reticle, one can overcome the inability to reset the turrets to some degree.
