And Yes, I'd be grateful if you add the 3-18x optics.
My understanding is that the glass on the expensive Hawke's is much better than on their cheaper lines.
I personally wondered why people bought optics up to x18 for example instead of x24, x34 etc but I realized that many people say in forums they shoot mainly x12 or x14 or x18 whatever their optics allow ... but obviously my lack of experience does not allow me to understand ...
It kind of convinced me that I don't need a lot of magnification, or zoom. Now if I were a Marine sniper and had to hit small targets 1500 yards away, then yes, it would be a different story. I'm not sure I'll ever do even one-tenth of that distance with my airguns though.
