How Good are Hawke Rifle Scopes?

Have you ever wondered just ‘how good are Hawke rifle scopes?’ I’m sure at some point we have all wanted or needed a new rifle scope and thought, I wonder what’s the best Hawke rifle scope or Rimfire scope? You’ve taken a look on the internet and gone from scope review to review. Well here are a few of our top picks from Hawke Optics UK.

Hawke Optics offer an entry level range of scopes, which are the Hawke Fast Mount scopes. These sport optics are offered to selected Hawke UK dealers who purchase them in bulk. They are very similar to the Hawke Vantage scope, but with only 1 slight difference. A Hawke Fast Mount is a two piece body and the Hawke Vantage is a single piece tube. Both the Fast Mount and the Vantage non IR scopes have a wire reticle. The illuminated reticle versions all feature glass etched reticles. An extra bonus with the Fast Mounts is that they come with a pair of 2 piece dovetail mounts included as standard. Do not let the wire reticle put you off, they are certainly more than capable of being used as an air rifle scope or rimfire scope.
