Hi,
Recently I went on a scope buying spree and long story short I have ended up with an Athlon Ares BTR gen2 2.5-15x50 , waiting for an Alpha6 2.5-15 and also purchased a month ago the new Hawke Sidewinder 30 FFP in 4-16x50.
The Ares is sitting on my new Hatsan Factor, the alpha 6 is probably going go on my 22lr, and the Hawke is the one I am having second thoughts. Not on the glass or the build quality but it was meant to go on top of a rifle that I had to cancel buying for the time being due to unexpected expenses.
I still want to keep the Hawke but I wonder if I have too many scopes on that magnification range and if I should have bought the 6-24x56 instead. It will eventually go on a pcp rifle that I want to do some hunting and benchrest out to 200 yards.
Will the 4-16 Hawke.serve me right or should I try and return it for it's larger sibling?
