MickC 1,825 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 New sites for sons HW99s arrived today ( Hawke 2-7x32) but, opened them out the box to have a look at them and while I was turning the ao ring I heard a loud pop like gas escaping. Now in all the years I've had guns I have never had this happen,so is it gonna be a problem or should it be ok ? Thanks for any replys. Quote Link to post

MickC 1,825 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Cheers toby63 that's what I was thinking also, they look ok to look through but something inside definetly went pop,there going back in morning. Quote Link to post
random 659 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Best be safe than sorry,bit of an inconvenience but at least you'll have peace of mind and know the scope is ok,could have been faulty and slipped through the net,one of those things but why have the worry?? Quote Link to post
Rez 4,957 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I think all Hawke scopes are nitrogen purged, could be a dodgy lens... Send it back to the shop Best of luck with it. Great glass choice for the rifle might I add. Quote Link to post
SimonC_Here 36 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 You could of course have turned the AO too far and broken the air seal. It probably should have stopped before that though. Hawke are great at warrenty work though. Quote Link to post
