[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 603637, member: 39764"] There is another thread running concurrently with this one and we've been discussing the Viper and the Hawk and a couple others. Looked at them all, Own a couple Leupy's and bought a Viper, but a PST in 4.5-18 Mil/Mil. Personally, I wasn't impressed with the Hawke reticle, nor the fact that the design was initiated by an airgun marksman, not that foof guns are all bad, just it's not what I shoot. The optics company Hawk is UK based but the scope is all about China whereas Vortex Optics is US based but the scopes are made in the Philippines (I know that, my PST is clearly marked in the bottom of the bell). I'd prefer a US made optic but the Leupy's are a bit much for this retiree. I don't understand the Hawke's plastic side wheel for parallax adjustment, not my thing and overall, I just wasn't impressed. Not to say I would never buy one as I might in the future. Not just now.
