Hake Frontier

When I bought a Hawke it was advertsed at 880 grams but it was 990 grams in real life. so 100 grams off. I never cared for Hawke optics after both mine were sent back for refunds on warranty. Poor quality control and very heavy scopes.

Could be just a simple misprint, 395 instead of the correct, 695 grams. Admittedly poor packaging QC, hopefully not representative of the product.

At least I never rate Hawke to be very good scopes. In fact we are short of choices for airgun scopes here so Hawke becomes our limitations.

Reticles are very good but the rest of things are just acceptable

LOL.....the Hawke weight listing of 395 grams is obviously a "typo" since that is only about 14 ounces.

I recently took delivery of a 4-12x50 Hawke AirMax and the gram to ounce conversion is correct.......


$1000ish bucks, WOW, my lower end Hawke cost under $200 delivered to the door after some discounts! For my purpose the Hawke I have is pretty good, however I'm not too picky as long as I can see .177 cal pellet holes in the target at 50 yards and the image snaps in and out of focus crisply when turning the AO.

Concerning the QC issues.......I had issues with a couple previous Hawke scopes where an early 3-12x40 Hawke AirMax would shift the poi simply by focusing and a 3-12x40 Hawke Panorama would only focus sharply down to 12 yards at 12x even when there was a 10 yard etching on the AO. Hawke does have excellent customer service, LOL, perhaps because they get a lot of practice. I do see a lot of the higher end Hawke scope at field target matches sitting on high end guns so I'm guessing they perform well for some.
