Things I liked:

The Hawke vantage 3x9x40 is an amazing scope for the price!. I have one on my diana bandit and I have hit a nickel at 105 yrs. I can see where the pellets hit, and I like being able to do that @ 100+ yds.

Things I would have changed:

Nothing.

What others should know:

If you're using a heavy Springer, get the 3x9x40 air max its spring rated.

Things I liked:

The clarity and quality of the scope is perfect as advertised. Using the adjustable parallax and eyepiece focus you can achieve crystal clear site picture.

Things I would have changed:

I have other (expensive) sfp Hawke scopes that I love but this little guy should have been a ffp scope. Otherwise please enlarge the mildots just enough that they can be seen.

What others should know:

The mildots are Miniscule. I call them 'nil dots'! If you are a hunter or one that uses holdover you will have a big problem finding your holdover mildot even on the highest magnification (9x in my case). Also I like a thin line reticle but this one is hair thin. If mildots are important to you get a UTG or something with a thicker reticle. For me, I going to create a range card based on turrent clicks at the few distances I'll be shooting.

    Things I liked:

    The Hawke name, quality, ease of use, mil-dot reticle, and clear bright image. I really liked the no-tool turrets feel, and click feedback. AO focus index is right-on! Good instruction manual.

    Things I would have changed:

    Not a thing.

    What others should know:

    This is an entry level scope that performs better than I was expecting on my entry level PCP Gamo Arrow, which is also better than expected.

    Things I liked:

    Very good scope. It lives up to its reviews.

    Things I would have changed:

    Cannot think of any changes I would make to this quality scope as of yet.

    What others should know:

    The 3x12, or 4x12 model is available for a minimum extra price. Good to know if you need that extra range.

    I put this on a small springer around 16ft lbs. we will see how it holds up but in the description it states that it is a glass etched recital which means there is nothing inside the scope to break. But we will see

    Things I liked:

    I like the looks of this scope, looks great sitting on my Avenger. Good price for an above average scope.

    Things I would have changed:

    In hindsight I should have spent a little more for a different Hawke scope: re:The reticle is almost invisible, I read about this before I purchased, but didn't think it would be as bad as described.

    What others should know:

    You will have difficulty seeing the reticle, then again, I'm 68 years old with coke bottle glasses.
