Thread: Hawke scopes any good?

I've had two faulty Hawke scopes, so I won't go there again. But to be fair one of them lasted about 5 years of real rough use on my 22 before it started losing zero. So I think it had a real decent run considering it was on a semi auto and getting bashed around.

Buying a cheap scope and putting it on a nice rifle is like buying a V8 commodore and putting $80 Malaysian tyres on it... it's not going to perform anywhere near what it should.

Look at it this way. What's another few hundred bucks over the ten or more years it'll last? My Leupolds and Weavers have a lifetime warranty. A Hawke probably wont.
