What is Hawkes top of the line hunting scope? Where is it made and what mainstream line would it compare to?

A lot of variables in that so sorry if this seems a bit general, top of the line for Hawke would be their Frontier but this may be more western based long range hunting FFP, ect. Endurance WA is going to be the better all around hunting scope. Compares to Leupold, Bushnell, Vortex etc. Most scopes assembled in China with parts from all over.

Looks like they have a 4x with good eye relief and enough tube to actually mount it.

Their Vantage 4x32 happens to be a very nice scope and at under $100.00 a great buy

2 things that interest me are the Vantage 1" 3x9 IR, a little over 15 ounces and the Spot on 4 1x25 Red dot sight. RJ

Last November I picked up a Hawke Vantage 3-9x40 (#14120) for a very good price. I compared the glass to some 3-9x40 scopes I have on hand. The scopes were a Leupold American Marksman, a Redfield Revolution, and a Sig Whiskey3. The glass was bested only slightly by the Leupold and Redfield and was as good as or slightly better than the Sig. This was a non-scientific test, just me looking out across the yard and empty field south of my house. I observed trees and other objects from 50 to +/-750 yards, comparing clarity and color. The Hawke scope seems well constructed. The power ring is very smooth with enough resistance to stay where you put it but not too stiff to distract when you use it. The fast focus eye piece is the same way with a smooth but rubberized rim that accommodates a flip up cap with no muss. I personally like lock ring eye pieces but if I have to have a fast focus I prefer the way Hawke has done it. The objective bell is smooth and sized nice for flip up cap use. Turret caps have a lot of threads and are nicely constructed from, I assume, aluminum. Adjustment clicks are positive but not stiff. They are quiet but still audible and easily felt when turning. I mounted it on an AR-15 last week and sighted it in at the range. Adjustments move as they should on the target and sighting in was uneventful. As long as it holds zero I don't see me replacing it any time soon as it checks off all the boxes I need for the application I have it in. I gave $54 for it at the time and felt it was a bargain. Now that I've had it in hand and have it on a rifle I feel at $100 it is a bargain. For the price point it targets it's definitely worth a look.

I've got a Hawke Endurance 30 1.5-6x44 on a 450 Bushmaster. It's plenty bright in the woods and the IR is kinda nice. I've also got a Vantage and Airmax 3-9x40 AO's on two RWS air rifles that have held up well thus far. That Vantage scope seems like a real deal for the money. Nice clear lenses...but I'm just shooting squirrels out of the bird feeder with them.

I hope Hawke discontinues all the Endurance 30 wide angle scopes!

No matter now that the limitations of the warranty have been pointed out. Won't buy another.
Non-transferable warranties are a deal breaker for me. Why the hell would it matter who the hell owns a scope for a company to stand behind their product? F' Hawke.

I’d be very interested in the Frontier SF 4-20x44 if it holds zero, tracks and returns to zero when magnum recoil is introduced....

You realize that pretty much ALL rifescopes fail at a given rate? Cost of the warranty is calculated into the price. I just read the warranty information on their website out of curiosity, so...if you buy it new and it breaks in your lifetime, it's covered. So they don't cover products purchased on the used market, big deal. Now I don't own any Hawke products, but I sure can't see any problem with that warranty if I was in the market for them. Some guys would cry if you hung 'em with a new rope. CT

You'll have no issues and if you bought it from us and it did not " hold zero, track and return to zero when magnum recoil is introduced" I'd take it back from you. That's how confident I am in their products.

They need a copy of your receipt when originally registering the product. That can be a pain but it certainly is better then having to keep a receipt for a long time.
