Hawke Airmax 4-12x50 AO Rifle Scope, AMX Reticle, 1/4 MOA, 1" Tube

Great scope, good magnification well made

An illuminated reticle would make this scope rock

Very clear optics, functionality of reticle for long range shooting, easy adjustments, warranty response and customer service. In combination with Chairgun app and chronograph I could very consistently hit long range targets with the HW97 and JSB heavy diabolos (10.3 gr).

nothing really...I think it is a great scope in its price range but should be used on either low power springers or PCPs.

Scope developed a problem with the AO after a couple tins of pellets but Hawke replaced it. Best customer service I've ever received (short of a refund). When I get the new one I'll put it on a lower power rifle like a FWB124 or FWB300. Perhaps a higher cost model would be better suited for the HW97 and similar guns.

very clear optics,user friendly,this scope has adjustments for everything,it has improved my shooting,tightened my groups and lessened eyestrain.well worth the money,excellent guarantee

nothing

you need tall mounts for this scope

The Airmax has very clear glass, and I like the reticule too. It's an easy scope to look through. I use it on a break barrel and that's why I got this scope because it can handle the shock of the recoil, and it does.

This is a 1/4 MOA scope, which is good, but when I go to adjust the reticule I kind have trouble feeling the clicks on the turret.

I suppose it depends on your income, but to me $230 is a lot for a scope, especially for a pellet rifle, but to many it's an inexpensive scope and I know that no matter what gun you buy, you can spend more than that on the scope. But I think this scope is worth the money! I really like this scope.

Great scope excellent accuracy. Good clarity. Well worth the money for an air rifle.

Nothing.

Good scope and just as advertised. Very clear and have had no problems.

None

As always Hawk optics are the best for air rifles. Clarity, accuracy are very nice. Very Happy!

Nothing

If your an air Gunner and your not using Hawk optics you should be!

Fantastic quality scope. Easy to use windage/elevation turrets. Objective adjustment is smooth and positive. Mounted on my Walther LGU and it has fantastic accuracy.

Etched reticles lines are very fine. Could be a little more pronounced but not a deal breaker.

I've been using Leapers and Mantis scopes on my air rifles. These are very good scopes for the money. But the quality and clarity of this Hawke scope is clearly better. This is a great scope for my LGU. Have no trouble hitting energy shot bottles at 50yrds with 1/2 mil hold up. Really like the hold over "aiming tree"

The amx reticle is excellent, clarity of the glass is second to none best I've looked through in years, in my opinion better than the sidewinder and a varmint series I own both.

Maybe an illuminated reticle with the more budget versions...

The 4x12-50 airmax scope is an excellent piece of hardware, the floating etched glass reticle is thin but not so thin that a camera or smart phone will not pick it up. I use my smartphone regularly. I have seriously bumped, jarred, and nearly dropped my bullpup cricket and the scope has never lost zero. I routinely make shots at 105-135 yards with ease using this scope and the hawke BRC software, my sidewinder 6.5x20, and varmint 3x12-44 does not even come close to being as consistent as this airmax. Remember every scope has lag, be patient small adjustments and this airmax will surprise you...it did me! Will be upgrading to the side focus version very soon! (Be safe and aware of whats beyond your target.) Pyramydair is an excellent company to do buisness with friendly customer service, fast shipping, and no hassle returns if theres any problems. Been a customer for 3yrs now and plan to stay for life.

I bought this scope about 2 years ago and have been meaning to write some comments on it. The scope has been working great within the range I shoot, which is typically 40-50yrds. I'm working on targets at 100yrds now and the scope gets me there with ease.

haven't found anything I would change on this scope.

Price was right for a 4-12x50.
