[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 572995, member: 27328"] Hawke scopes are made in China except for the top end Frontiers that are made in Japan. I have one of the Chinese Hawke scopes. It sits on a PCP air rifle with almost no recoil. Almost all Chinese scopes suffer failure after use on springer air rifles or heavy magnum recoil. The parallax ring scales are usually way off as well. There are other issues you will spot after you own them a while. Always choose the Japanese scope if you can afford it. My Hawke scope has a good ballistic reticle with a well designed Christmas Tree configuration that is etched on glass and well illuminated for night use. Way better than most Chinese scopes, but it will stay dedicated to night use on an air rifle or rimfire due to the 50mm objective. [/QUOTE]
