The rings on the Hawke Airmax scope are Hawke. I can switch them out to the Sportsmatch rings I have on my HW30, if that would help.
The 90 requires good scopes and mounts.

Airmax 4-12x40 weighs 18.4 ounces...I own 5 of them...lol.The HW90 I do not own and won't even give a random lame guess on what will or will not work for scope mounting...lol.
Sorry you had bad luck, Ed. Never had any issues with the 5 I own or the 2 3-9x40 versions I also own that were bought 6 years agofrom Trenier when they were first released for sale in the US.
You have options-Reverse the mount(s) to see if it makes a difference. Use a drooper mount or adjustable mountShim rear ring but could cause finish damage on scope since it will not be aligned with both rings. Optically center the scope and bend the barrel so it shoots near zero. I prefer the last option- quick, easy, and any regular mounts will work from that point forward.
Looking to buy a new air gun. Have setteled on one of these. Don't like the heavy weight of the gas ram, but can deal with it. Would like good killing power of large varments like woodchucks, etc. . Or would a .177 with heavy pellets do as good as the .22? Advise needed,Help.
The elevation turret adjustment is topped out, It won't go any higher. No more up. Shoots 1" below the bull

Advise needed,Help.If you're going pesting or hunting then there is no question its .22 all day long. The larger diameter of the .22 has more killing power even with the same power plant behind the pellet. Think of it as the WW2 comparison of the German 9mm vs. the American 45 auto. The 9mm was considerably faster at around 1100 or so fps. with the 45 lumbering along in the 800s but both had nonexpanding bullets and there was no comparison in stopping power. At moderate springer power levels I doubt even hollow points are going to expand. Get the .22. As a side benefit the larger pellets are easier to handle.
