Hawke Optics makes some of the clearest, crispest scopes you'll ever use. Their unique 1/2 mil-dot reticle gives you several aim points for those times when you have to hold over or under. This rifle scope is double-braced for the harsh recoil of magnum spring-piston rifles. It will work well on air rifles, firearms and airsoft rifles.

10 of 10 Hawke Optics 2.5-10x44 AO Varmint Reviews
This scope is mounted on a tuned .17 cal. RWS 54. While these rifles are recoiless to the shooter, they are not recoiless to the scope. They do have the reputation of being a scope destroyer. I have fired 250ish shots with this scope mounted on my RWS 54. I used JSB 10.4 gr. heavies. I boxed this scope to see how well it would track. I used one full turn of the turret which is 15 min for each leg of the square. The range was 10 meters exactly. In the attached picture I shot the upper left hand group then moved the adjustments down 15 min. The impact moved 2.08". I then moved the impact right. It moved 2.06". I then moved up 15 min. It moved 2.08". I then moved left 15 min. The impact move 2.06" and impacted right on top of my first group. You'll notice that the first group now has 6 shots in it and that it's not quite as tight as the other three groups. This is because I'd shot out my aming point! The side focus is so much easier to use than a front focus.
Things I Would Have ChangedWhile the image is quite flat at 10 power, it does have a fair amount of swim at 2.5 power. But this is "only" a $150.00 scope. To expect perfection grinding of the lenses is a bit much at this price. The scope adj. are marked as .25 moa per click. When I boxed this scope I found the movements to be .1 moa per click. This is great for precision short range shooting but won't work well for long range work. I won't know what the maximum range will top out at until the the winter snows go away.
What Others Should KnowWhile the adjustments claim .25 moa per click this scope's adjustments are actually .1 moa.
I'd like to hear from other folks what their scopes adjustments work out to be.
This Scope is a great buy! To have a scope that tracks so perfectly is a rarity. It was absolutely precise in it's vertical and horizontal adjustments.
i like the retical and the glass
Things I Would Have Changedi would change the structure of the erector springs so they handle alot more recoil
What Others Should Knowthe scope failed under the power of the np2 recoil i only got about 200 shots with it and it wouldnt hold zero anymore. i double checked all my stock screws and my rings everything i could double check i did. the scope will not hold under the np2 it mite on a normal springer or a titan gp or something like that if the gun has a history of cracking scopes dont get this scope thinking it will save the day nice scope tho i would love it on a 22 lr its a nice scope
This scope has a very clear sight picture and the 1/2ildot reticle make it very easy to adjust aim for different distances The windage and elevation turrets are very precise and positive in the clicks and was easy to get sighted in. I like having the adjustment for range focus on the side instead of the front.
Things I Would Have ChangedI prefer the band and cap style scope covers to the flip open covers
What Others Should Knowvery good quality scope for the money. I own 2 of these scopes and will be buying more.
Very clear optics. Eye piece is adjustable to my eyes. Side focus is smooth. Not too long or heavy.
Things I Would Have Changednothing
What Others Should KnowExcellent value. I will buy another. I forgot initially to adjust the side focus when I was shooting at 50 yards.
Clear glass and the side focus
Things I Would Have ChangedA little tougher. A little smaller in the saddle area to allow for better mounting without shims.
What Others Should KnowMounted this on my Hatsan 125TH NP and within 50 shots the reticle had rotated. I don't know if I just got a bad one or they are going to have trouble on these rifles. I'll try one more, but if it fails I'll have to find something else.
great scope for the money, saved 50 bucks on sale. love the side focus feature. clear optics with half mil dot are great
Things I Would Have ChangedI think the eyepiece used to focus the reticle should have a locking feature so when you get it adjusted to your eye sight it can be locked in place
What Others Should Knowwould recommend this scope for any high power rifle.
1/2 mil-dots, clarity, side focus, glass etched reticle very fine for more precise shot placement
Things I Would Have Changednothing
What Others Should KnowI have 3 Hawke scopes, wouldn't hesitate to buy another if I needed one.
The glass is clear. In the description it is double reinforced, that is one of the reasons for purchasing this scope, so it will hold up when used on my air rifles (2 Hatsan 125's). The 44 mm is a nice field of view, and I was able to use the standard height rings that came with the gun. I have put 1500 rounds though the gun and have had no issues.
Things I Would Have ChangedFor the $179 it should have rings.
What Others Should KnowThe eye relief on this scope is a fixed point. What I mean by this is you have to be exactly the distance away from the scope that is listed in the spec's. Many other scope give you a 1/2" to 3/4 " span that you can have the proper of view. Check the spec's on different scopes and you will see 2 numbers on the listing for eye relief. This scope has one. That can be good and bad depending how you are shooting. If you are on a bench and taking your time you will not be effected very much. If you are in the field and raise your rifle for a shot it may take a extra couple seconds to get in focus. Based on the eye relief and the price I am sure that a better scope for less money can be found. Not bad but I will try a Leapers next time. Half the money with the same options.
Accurate on my marauder
