    I have a hawke panorama and if for example if I am shooting at 10x mag a target at 40yds my holdover is 1 mil dot, but if I then change to say 6xmag and shoot at same target with 1 mil hold over my pellet impacts higher. Can be quite confusing so I tend to zero at 8x mag and leave it at that

    I bought a hw100 in .20 last year and am really happy I did, I find it flies flatter and faster than .22 so less hold over/under required but hits just as hard with a satisfying crack on impact. deadly out to 60yrd. as for pellets you have h&n ftt and jsb exact, my hw loves both. can not comment on the huntsman as never used one, but am now a huge fan of .20 and will use nothing else in 12ft lb

    well been to my gun shop today and had a play with both the sidewinder and panorama, both looked really good to me with really nice clear optics, i preferd the side focus on the sidewinder but felt it was a little heavier weight wise so have decided to go with the panorama 4-12x50 ir ao as i felt there was very little to choose between the two other than the panorama being a lot cheaper, thanks for the advice all

    The Sidewinders are very averagely fine.

     

    Scopes get personal, as does magnification and reticles. My sidewinders are on a rimfire and centrefire and are adequate.

     

    Personally I would not consider one for an air rifle, personal choice, they are heavy and if you are only looking relatively low magnification I'd say there are more appropriate and cheaper scopes.

     

    ATB!

     

    thanks for the advice deker, so what scope would you go for? had also thought about a mamba lite but have heard mixed reports about them suffering white out etc and would prefer a milldot ret

    Hi all, i have a hw100kt in .20 on order which should be with me in the next 2 weeks :boogy: I have been doing a lot of research on different scopes and have decided to go with the hawke sidewinder 30 milldot, what i am unsure about is whether i would be better off going for the 3-12x50 or the 4-16x50? it will be used purely for hunting so am i right in thinking the 3-12x50 will be the right choice or will there be a need for the higher mag of the 4-16x50 its all new to me so any advice will be much appreciated

    cheers
