Hawke Sport HD HK3020 4x32 AO?

Anyone using this scope?

I'm looking for a good quality, inexpensive, simple hunting scope (rabbit, squirrel, dove) for a Hatsan 95 Vortex .22. Would this scope be an upgrade to the Optima 3-9x32 that is packaged with the Hatsan?

Thanks!

for about the same money you can get a hammers 3-9x32 and just a tad more the 3-9x40.  I have both and have been quite happy with them.

The question is unclear.  Generally and aftermarket scope (Hawke in this case) is superior to the scope included with a rifle.  You are asking if a four power scope is superior to a 3-9.  You must determine that.  Hawke does have variable power scopes as well so you could compare apples to apples.  I personally don't care for a 32 mm objective.  I have found 40mm to be better for me.

That's my non answer and assessment.  By the way, I own four Hawke scopes.  I like them fine.

Thanks for the replies.

All the shooting I've done so far, out to 30 yards, I am most comfortable with my scope set on 4 power. Anything else hurts my eyes, and the Optima does not have adjustable objective.

I'm wondering if, hunting scenarios out to 30 yards, adjustable objective is of greater benefit than variable power?

What scope do you all use on your "walking the fields, woods, and riverbottoms" hunting gun? I'm just thinking simpler and lighter is better.

Also, are the Hawke fixed power scopes just another cheap scope? Or do they have better quality glass, turrets, etc. than your average Chinese "cheap scope"?
