mattwhite 1,993 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 When i chopped the s410 in for my hw100 i kept the scope to save money....a nikko sterling 3-9×50 ao and its served me well enough over the last year or so but the build quality isnt there so i had been looking at hawkes and decided with what i needed it for and the fact i hadnt got the candy for a sidewinder i picked up a hawke panorama 4-12×40 ao ir and i have to say i love it... It feels much more rugged yet sleek then the sterling and in 7 shots it was bang on the money then a lovely 1 hole group at 30 yards. I like the blue daytime and red dawn/dusk ir too. Money well spent i hope. Now time for a nice mornings hunting tomorrow to test it properly. Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,589 Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 I've got both 50mm and 40mm Hawke Panorama scopes and after a few years on my HW97k the 50mm model is as good as ever it was.For any decent air rifle, these are fabulously good value scopes. Well worth consideration for you rifle 1 Quote Link to post
