Hi all
I'm looking at a Hawke scope for rabbiting, and am wondering if anyone has had any experience, good or bad, with the .22LR specific reticule that Hawke sell?
I currently have an old Simmons Whitetail Classic 3-9x40 on my air rifle, which I'll be putting on FAC air (I used to have it on a 10/22 years ago) but I'm looking at the Hawke with interest.
Any thoughts?

Re: Hawke Optics
I don't have first hand knowledge of the .22 specific reticule, but I've had a lot of Hawke scopes and they have all been brilliant, so I would say that you can buy with confidence.
The Hawke guarantee is also second to none, so if anything does go wrong, they'll have you back in business very quickly.

Re: Hawke Optics
Excellent, just what I was hoping to hear. I just bought a rangefinder so I can be a little more confident in my distances (a friend of mine seems to be able to get them right every time but my eyes are pants) and the reticule means I don't have to guess at aim points.shotgun sam wrote:I have both the 17hmr and 223 versions and cannot fault them
I shall purchase one forthwith.
