Just ordered - Hawke 6-24x44 AO Varmint Rifle Scope

[DTHN2LGS]

Most of my shooting is with a tripod, not as stable as a bench. I was asking about the cost and weight of the Eclipse because I couldn't find it. The Endurance scope replaced the Eclipse?

Oh, OK, this is the link where I bought my last one,  but the $209 turned into $299, bummer.


Be Well,

I got one of those at $209.  I haven't mounted it yet, but hope I didn't make a mistake.

I have two. Doubt I would have bought the 2nd one if I didn't like the first.
Considibly better then my UTG Accursahot Swat Side Wheel 4x16x40.

To me it is a very good scope for the $$.

Lol Jeff...

This is the first scope that I'll have had that is over 12x. I'm in for a surprise I think.

[D14Jeff]

there was a big difference going from 16x to 24x to me , so 12 to 24 is kinda huge . at those higher mags eye placement is critical . if i don't have my eye right at 20x + it will blur and can go black . but if my eye is right it's nice and clear to me . but i've never looked through a leupold or other high end high dollar scope .... and i don't want too . i cant afford to know what i'm missing hehehehe .
i think you did like me and hit SWFA for their %110 guarantee ...... gotta love that

Mine arrived yesterday.. $147 shipped.. Looking forward to the next nice day that I can try it on the Brocock. I paid $220 shipped for the Varmint 6-24x44 on my Mrod. The Panorama($150 used) was working fine on the Brocock but a thank you is in order. Thanks Jeff.. enabler..

[D14Jeff]

just passing on what was done to me .

I had a bad experience with a $140 Aimsport scope from Amazon.6x24x50

It would not show anything unless it was high noon. So a CP 4x16x40 turned out to be much better over all glass.

Anybody had any blurriness issues at high magnification? I will be using it mostly at 6x for hunting, but I'd like to crank it up to 24x for long range plinking and still have clear glass.

So far I haven't had any blurriness issues with this Hawke 6-24X44.  I've kept it at 24x now, and everything is nice and clear.  I've been shooting at 20-ish yards and 45 yards.

[UCChris]

That's pretty awesome! How are you liking it on the LGV? The Disco I am going to put the Varmint on weighs three pounds less than your LGV. I'm worried it will be way too top heavy.

[Datasponge]

I'm loving it.  I won't lie.. the LGV is a heavy gun and if I were shooting off hand...well I'll need to get back into weight lifting before I consider doing that.

From the bench, though...The high magnification makes my movements so obvious that it helps me focus on my form, breathing, relaxing etc. Not to say that lower magnifications can't do that, but with this scope and this gun there's no blaming anything but me when groups aren't under a dime.
