Hawke builds 2 of the 1-4x that has a dot at the center instead of standard duplex. Dot floats between the 4 lines instead of the lines intersecting. The Vantage and the Endurance models.

Any experience with the Bushnell or the Hawke? I’ve always felt Bushnell wasn’t very good, but not sure about that one. I’ve never known anyone with a Hawk, so I have no reference for their quality.

I bought that Bushnell off Amazon, fulfilled by Midway, for $125 or so. Mounted it on a .22 mag AR upper. Responded properly to adjustments when sighting and seems like a nice scope. Had it out last week dinking a 4” plate at 100 yards. So far, so good. Would buy another one if needed, especially at that price or similar.

My other LPVOs are a SWFA 1-4 with a kinda tactical reticle and a Trijicon Credo HX 1-6 with a Hunter Holds reticle with illuminated red dot on a fine crosswire with side bars and a couple of hold marks, a good hunting reticle IMO. Kinda spendy at about $840, but good stuff, well worth the price if you have it to spare.

Have had some Hawkes, but not in this power range. The Endurance 30 line has, or had, coil bias springs, and good multicoating. For that price, I’d look at Trijicon Huron or Ascent, or something else not made in the PRC.


What fresh Hell is this?
