Mounted up a couple of Hawke scopes I've had on the shelf for a while.
First was a Vantage 4x32 MilDot on a new Savage B22F. Perfectly clear, good eye relief and easy to get behind. Adjustments were predictable firm clicks. Fairly bold for a mil dot. Bargain priced under $70 IIRC. Great little shooter too. It's plastic (the rifle stock) but real good ergos.
Next was an impulse buy about a year ago from Doug. An Endurance 30 4-16x50 illuminated long range dot. It's a lot of scope. I mounted it up on a Savage Bmag 17WSM. Tracked right into zero and then proceeded to shoot particular dots, letters and squares at the 50 yard target. It feels solid hefty, think SWFA, clear and bright. The clicks are not super super solid but work. They are consistent and not sloppy but very fine if that makes sense ..... I dig it enough I'd like another but they're sold out it seems.
Also have an Endurance 30 2.5-10x50 IL 30/30 that feels tanklike too which I like. Just like other burly scopes I have no worries about denting tubes like Leupy or such. It'll go on something soon...
In the name of adventure I am about to try a Frontier when my piggy bank fills .
Have the Endurance 30 8x56 IL LRD, a Vantage AO 4x32 MilDot and an Endurance 1" 4-12x42 IL LRD too. Oh, and an older Endurance 3-9x40! LOL

I have the Endurance WA 30 2-10x50, and for the $$, it seems to be a very good, solid scope. I do wish the illumination adjusted to a dimmer level, but I say that about other scopes as well.

I have a Hawke advantage IR 2-7×32 AO on a Springer airgun. Clear optics and good clicks, had some trouble with the windage clicks at first but it was a fleabay purchase LNIB, and the turret was a little loose, indexed and tightened and has correctly adjusted ever since. Very pleased with Hawke, though have none mounted on firearms.

The dingo ate my baby!
Guys. Thanks for the kind words but that's a line from the 80s, news or a movie? A dingo did not actually eat my baby. Carry on.

That light-colored one does look a bit dingo-like. This is closer to how they normally look around here. Here's the "dingo" coyote in color. He does look a bit odd LOL.

Got three Endurance LERs and one Endurance 30 8x56. So far, so good.
The 30mm models have coil bias springs, if that appeals to your notions.
What fresh Hell is this?
