Anyone use one of these and if so, what are your thoughts. My daughter does not like the thick mil-dot reticle of her bug buster. Told me she wanted a thin cross like the one on my high end Leopold. Didn't want to spend a lot of money and she only shoots out to 50 yards. I have to agree with her. The bug buster is nice, But she is a perfectionist and If she cant place pellet on pellet she gets pissed. Its funny when a 9 year old tells you she just cant get the precision because her reticle is to thick, I just kind of looked at her, pick up the rifle, sighted, and said, lets get you a new scope. I've never looked through one but the pictures of the reticle looks super thin. And I like the price. She wants a fine cross or a fine dot. Thanks.

Hawken54, Your daughter sounds like a blast. Have fun because they grow up and LEAVE!. Then you have to wait for the grandkids and they are never close by. You might conceder getting her a fine mil dot reticle. Next thing that is going to happen is she will have a chance to shoot other then 50 yards and you are going to be right back where you started. And it's damned hard to tell little girls NO when they look at you and batt their eyes. Just got a flyer from Midwayusa and they have a bunch of scopes on sale.

There are of course a lot of scopes that will fill your daughters needs. I would think if she is into precision shooting that maybe a higher magnification scope would help too. Bill

Ill look at Midway. She wants to hunt but is a little squeamish. Kind of like the kid that wants to catch the fish but cant bait the hook. She loves bench shooting and its all about the tightest group. Ill do some more searching, The Hawke just caught my eye for the price.

I have one mounted on my HW90 .20. The reticle and mil dots on the Hawke are distinguishably thinner than my UTG scope. I also don't like the thickness of the UTG reticle. And I think the glass is clearer on the Hawke too.
