Are you for real with the £50 for a new scope remark ?
Why would you spend a fortune on a rifle and then stick some cheap old chinese crap on it that cost say £300 when for an extra £200 you could splash out on some decent Bushnell or Leupold glass instead ?
Better yet buy a second hand one for the same price as a brand new Hawke and it's still a bargain !
All my rifles be they Air, R/F or C/F regardless are fitted with the best glass I can afford.
But lets just agree to disagree.
