Hawke Sport Optics Hawke 4X32 AO Sport HD Reviews
Tell us what you think
Sexy, rugged, and crystal clear. Those are the words I would choose to describe this scope, and it exceeds the definitions of all three. The click adjustments were clear and positive, the Parallax adjustment is smooth, but solid, has an amazingly wide range, and is great for range-estimation if you know how to do that. I mounted this on the Hatsan 100X Vortex piston model, and I swear it's almost like the scope relishes the abuse that monster gives it. It's held zero even after repeated removal and re-mounting for maintenance, where every other scope I've owned has had to be re-zeroed. If you're after a classic 'Sniper' scope for looks as well as function, this is it.
Slightly longer eye relief. It's pretty good as is, but I would have preferred a longer relief so I could mount the scope a bit further forward, that way I could keep my diopter sight in one piece while the scope was mounted. I also would have also added some range-estimation marks in the reticle, to compliment how thick the wires are, but that's more of an aesthetic choice.
The reticle is a little on the thicker side, but for pest-control it's all you need. It's tough, the reticle isn't going anywhere anytime soon unless you decided to fire your rifle with a hammer, and it makes target-acquisition really fast and that's the most important thing with pesting. The scope is up there in price, but it's worth it, trust me. The Hatsan Vortex rifles are probably some of the most brutal springers out there(Mine sheared off its own Shock Absorber bolt clean!), so if you have one this scope LOVES them. The scope does have a bit of heft to it, but that weight is going to translate to quality really fast and you'll be glad when you get used to holding it. Finally the lack of a zoom is definitely a pro, rather than a con. I've put more than 5,000 rounds with this scope mounted, and not one of them missed because of the scope's fault.
The scope tracked well in its turret adjustment and provided a satisfactory optical clarity for its price.
Offer it with two different reticles. The one it has now is thick. That makes it easy to see in dim light but not as precise for those who use it only during good light periods. A thinner reticle to compliment this one would cover the needs of both.
Once again, Hawke is providing a good product which exceeds the quality found in many other optics of the same price point.

Verified BuyerSimple. Solid. Economical.
Nothing. The crosshairs and dots are a little wide. I would prefer a finer hair and dot. That is "splitting hairs" though. The scope is great just like it is.
I have this scope on a hard kicking Hatsan 65. It has lasted over 6000 shots with no issues at all. I've dropped it, carried it in the truck and on the boat. I have wrecked three scope mounts on this rifle but the scope has never given me any problems. I liked it so much I bought another one for a spare.
No bells and whistles. It is all you will need for plinking and pesting with a spring piston airgun. It's simple, tough and can withstand a lot of abuse. You can mount this scope nice and low and that is a big plus too. The adjustments are reliable and will return to zero. The paralax adjustment tunes out all error out to 100 yards brilliantly. It's clear, very little distortion and will "look past" the bulky front sights. It has adequate field of view and forgiving eye relief.
I have four air rifles with Hawke scopes on them. All have proven to be solid scopes at a reasonable price point.

Verified BuyerNo bells and whistles and things I don't need. Just a good fixed power scope. It works great and the glass is good. The price is reasonable. I'm very happy with it.
Nothing.
A good airgun scope for the money. Unless you just have to have variable power and illumination this is all you need. For shots from 0-100 yards it is the perfect scope for an airgun.
The rear adjustable diopter finally gave me a clear sight picture. It's great!
Nothing
So far, it's worth the money and is working well!

Verified BuyerHaving purchased a Senaca Recluse a few months ago I wanted a scope that wouldn't be so large or heavy as to add to the weight drastically. Since I consider this rifle to be a 25-50 yard gun a high magnification would not be practical. I settled on the Hawke 4X and couldn't be more pleased. Clear optic and the reticle fits my needs perfectly. Since this gun was purchased for hunting and not plinking this set-up has met my expectations perfectly. On top of all of this using my Bullseye bucks I got the scope for a great price.

Verified BuyerI have been unhappy with high end Hawke scopes on springers but decided to try this on my TalonP. I have to say that it really surprised me. First it is very clear for an inexpensive scope. Second, the AO distance markers actually correlate to the proper distance! This is a nice light weight scope for my shooting distances of 25 to 50 yards. I recommend it.
Nothing
I like the simplicity of fixed power scope for my hunts (300 meters or less range). Very easy to zero. I am using it on a Savage 308 Win rifle. Got it on target after 3 shots. So far held up zero after 40 rounds factory hunting loads from 135 grns to 168 grns. Will be using it on an upcoming hog hunt. Will review again after field use. 4 stars for now.
Scope lens cover. Maybe a flip up type is better
I am using it on a firearm.

Verified BuyerLightweight.... turrets have solid click adjustments... just the right power for backyard pests...
Seems they have this one right...
Mounted to a Weirauch HW50S in .177... sighted in at 20 yards... the right distance for my backyard pests... good value for the money... hope it holds up well to a spring airgun....
I love the quality and the clarity of this optic. Very impressed for an optic at this price point.
Nothing.
I mounted it on my Diana Air King 54 and I am loving it.

Good optical quality for the price. Positive clicks on the turrets when zeroing the scope.
Nothing.
When using the Hawke Optic low mounts to install the scope, the objective lens protective end cap will not fit properly over the objective lens, but is still usable.
