Hawke is my pick for a air rifle scope

I've got a Leupold EFR, excellent scope. I put it on a CZ452 rimfire. But I recently ordered a Hawke Sport HD after hearing so much about them on airgun forums. Of course, my first thought when hearing about them the first time was 'How can a decent scope be had for under $100 ?' I'll see when it gets here and I mount in on my springer air rifle.

If performance matches the positive reviews I've read from so many guys, I may have to revise my ideas on scopes. I don't know about other guys, but I'm not made out of unlimited mountains of money. I've got to prioritize where I spend it. Air rifles & rimfires are of limited range (relatively). And I'm not trying to shoot itty-bitty little target groups, not that a Leupold 3-9x EFR would qualify as a target scope anyway. If I find a scope that can do the job well and save me $300, - - - - that can free up money for something else where it can make a difference in actual performance in the field. (For example, extending the budget for a pair of big game hunting binoculars from $750 to $1050.)

The only problem with the air rifle only scopes is the mounts that are supplied with the rifles, they mount the scope really high and you can run out of w&e adjustments with some pellets

High quality mounts are a must. No scope is worth a hoot if it slips around in the mounts. I like the Beeman 5030 mounts myself.

My Beeman springer came with a 4x32 Beeman scope and mounts. I ordered some Hawke low match mounts to go with the new Hawke scope. They use some kind of temporary adhesive in the rings to provide additional anchoring for keeping the scope in place.

Ordered a Hawke.

Just ordered a Hawk 3-9 HD from Pyramid Air, mount, pellets, cleaning stuff

I bought the Benjamin Titan GP Nitro Piston, .22, very nicely built gun, shoots hard and accurate.

The scope which comes with it is "meh". Rings are for picatiny rail, not 11mm dovetail groves
