Pretty good deal on this scope.

I think the 4-12x40 airmax is $148.

I watch Dvor and while the prices have been bouncing for a few weeks now, $135 is still a great deal. 3? weeks ago, it was as low as $123, almost bought a couple. Week or so later
it was up to $145ish.
Also a good deal on the 4-12x40's. Mine were $164.99 when I grabbed the last one. $148 for a scope that normally runs $229.99 is a steal for anyone who likes the
Airmax scopes and the lowest I've seen on that one.

Those are decent prices on the Hawke Airmax series.
If you are looking for a little more magnification and Side Focus, you can't beat the UTG/Leapers Swat 30mm 3-12x44 SF in the $130 - $140 range. Once I owned scopes with 44mm and 50mm obj. lens it was hard for me to go back to 40mm, plus the side focus spoils you
IMO the UTG/Leapers 30mm 3-12x44 series scopes (I prefer the full-size SWAT which also comes w/illuminated reticle) is the best bang for the buck for me. I have 4 Hawke scopes but once I bought the first UTG 30mm 3-12x44 scope about 3 years ago and saw how similar it is (or better) compared to the lower-end Hawke Vantage & Varmint scopes that I have in the $169-$199 range, I have stuck with the UTG 30mm tube scopes (and 44mm obj. lens) for all the new guns I purchase and have 3 of them so far. I find the UTG to have much better adjustment knobs with very accurate and distinct clicks, better than my Hawke scopes. I also found the UGT 30mm Swat scopes to have a bigger adj. range and be able to go 50-60 clicks up on the elevation knob with no issues when using High rings, since medium-height rings are usually not high enough for 44mm objective lens and touch or rub on the action or barrel causing accuracy issues, or require you remove the sun shade or caps for more clearance, so I use high rings most of the time. I had issues zero'ing a couple of Hawke scopes which had maxed out the elevation adjustability and still could not get the POI high enough to hit the bullseye at 20-25 yards, but medium rings fixed that and I didn't have to max out the elev. range, but the downside was it got tight/harder getting the mags in with very little clearance, hence why I prefer the high rings for multi-shot PCP's. Also the UTG 30mm tube scopes I have are brighter than my Hawke 1" scopes.
Dvor used to have the full-length UTG 3-12x44 Swat 30mm scope, but now I only see the the Compact Swat which is also on sale for $125. You can't go wrong with the Airmax either, and I believe $148 for the 4-12x40 is the lowest I have seen it.

Thanks for the tip!
Was thinking to get the 2-7 for my Hatsan 125 .25, but chose the 4-12 for my Parrus .22 instead and will move the UTG 4X currently on the Parrus to the Hatsan 125.
Win-win.
