Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 AO Rifle Scope, AMX Reticle, 1/4 MOA, 1" Tube

Excellent scope for the price currently at Pyramid. Bought the first one for my TX200 .177 and after using it bought another one for my TX .22.

Parallax is a bit stiffer than I like but maybe will loosen up with time. Not a deal breaker.

Great scope for the money. Focus at distance and reticle focus is excellent. I use this scope to shoot flies at 20 yards. Hawke has an excellent return/warranty policy. I sent in a several year old 2-7x32 that was having focus issues and Hawke replaced it for free. Very impressed with Hawke customer service

Nothing

This is my fourth 4-12x40 AirMax.

Optic is clear, clicks very positive on the scope, But, the reticle is very fine/thin and hard to see. I have many higher end scopes in my collection, the reticle here is so fine it almost constitutes a fail. I will keep it, but would caution that the reticle is hard to see. Great and quick shipping by pyramid

Reticle needs more definition

lens are very clear, and give a good sight picture. The graduated cross hairs are very good for shooting at very close or longer shots. Parallax adjustment is pretty stiff on the one I have, but I have not worked with it enough to see if it will get easier to turn. Got this at a great sale price, plus had a coupon, and free shipping, so bang for bucks was very good.

Needs to be lighter weight.

I was able to mount this scope on a SportsMatch one piece drooper mount, and it worked out well with just the right amount of eye relief.

I guess it is ok for a pellet rifle.

The eye relief, though it long enough, it has a very short focal distance.

The windage and elevation clicks are a bit light. The sight picture is not very good, When trying to set the objective for parallax the whole sight picture moves around. Also the eye relief is very sensitive- short window. I shoot some brand name scopes, For this amount of money i am kind of disappointed.

Hawke quality amx cross hair is beautiful total package fits my Reign perfectly

N O T H I N G !!

Hawke is very good quality for the money just don't ask where its made

The whole pkg.

The Reticle needs to be darker

Quality and a Big Bang for the buck

Bright, clear lenses, floating reticle, semi target knobs. This is one of the best scopes I've used on any gun. It's not a Zeiss, Meopta, Swarovski, but it's a darn good clear well built scope. You could spend considerably more and not get anything close to this good. I've used cheap scopes and they are always loosing their zero, fuzzy lenses, whatever, but for just a few more dollars this thing is phenomenal. I can't think of a single thing I would change.

Some have griped about the reticle getting lost in heavy cover, and it's true. But that's a tradeoff you make for having a reticle that is fine enough for pellet rifles while still being as visible as possible. If you are going to hunt in low light, then you really should get a lighted reticle scope. But for general shooting and hunting, this is the cat's arse. I don't have much trouble in low light, but I don't use it much then either. I like a scope that doesn't cover a lot of the target and this one fills the bill nicely.

Mounting options are a bit narrow, but more or less the same for all scopes in this size range. My Daystate feeds from a clip, so that makes mounting a little bit of a challenge, but it's easily worked out, so beware it needs to either be pretty high or narrow rings to get you where the adjustment turret bulge under the scope doesn't interfere with the clip. I would say this is pretty much the same with all cip fed rifles with all scopes in this magnification range. If you go to a way longer scope, you're good to go.
Also, I had a problem with one of my used Hawke scopes, looked like some dirt broke loose inside the scope and got all over the lenses. Hawke was SUPER about replacing it pronto. It was one of the easiest replacements ever, they are a super outfit to deal with. I'll be a permanent customer.

I like this scope. I have several air guns and I keep finding this scope preferable compared to others. Good clear picture, and reticle.

I think it is a little pricey for an air gun scope but i guess it depends on if you want it to work and last.

Clear, easy to set up. Smooth adjustments.
