I purchased a Hawke Vantage 2x7x32 AO scope for my HW95 Luxus. Will it hold up on this rifle? The more I search for an answer the more confused I become. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Charles

N/A Scope for HW95?

In my experience',, the Vantage series scopes perform better - last longer on lighter recoiling rifles or pcp. I won't/can't say your 2-7 Vantage will break after a few shots or a tin(s) of ammo, but plant the seed of possibility of failure in your head.
Some things I learned from other shooters over my years about scopes and spring guns...... Keep your reticle as close to optical center as possible - Springers (can) tend to have barrel droop, adjusting ONLY the reticle to make up for droop puts added stress on the internal adjustments, that stress + recoil can shorten the life of a scope. A droop compensating one piece mount and/or minor shimming of the rear ring will keep the reticle closer to optical center and more stress free.
My R9 sports a Nikon EFR in a one piece mount and the rear is shimmed with a piece of plastic coffee can lid. My grandsons' R7 and HW30 wear Vantage 4x scopes also shimmed.
Good luck with whatever direction you choose.

All you can do is mount it and use it ..
If it holds great, if not send it in to hawke get it replaced/ fixed. ( No fault lifetime ). A scope on a springer is like a dice roll you hope it don't roll snake-eyes. Even the best of them can fail sooner or later.
