Great scope for a deserving high end rifle.
Style: 4-12x40, Adjustable Objective, 1" Tube, ...
Excellent scope for the price. Put on my Air Arms S510 FAC Extra and get extremely good accuracy. Nice click type elevation and windage adjustments. Super nice reticle, field of view and eye relief. Negatives: * Objective focus adjustment is very stiff which does not make for quick focus at different
ranges. * The lens covers throw the view out of focus, which wont adjust out, so they need to be removed before using. * The reticle is not illuminated. The scope does not come with a CR2 battery as described, so don't be fooled into thinking it has one. Deceptive, incorrect information in that regard.

Amazing scope!
Style: 4-12x40, Adjustable Objective, 1" Tube, ...
Bought this for my Weihrauch hw97.22. I can now shoot groups the size of a quarter at 30 yards. The recoil of the springer does not affect zero of the scope, and the reticle allows for hold over mildots when shooting at longer range. Eye relief is great and AO is nearly perfect for ranging. Highly re
commended!! Get a Hawke!

It lost zero within 100rds on swarm magnum. 22
Style: 4-12x40, Adjustable Objective, 1" Tube, ...
It lasted mabey 100 shots then started dropping. Then all over ... tried 5 sets of mounts . Then changed scopes.. stock gamo 3x9 and what do you know.. Hawke scope is a lemon!! Dont know it I just got a bad one or it cant handle the recoil of the Swarm Magnum.. but they say their high recoil rated...
that is why I bought the Airmax.. but very disappointed.. going too return it for a replacement. I really hope it works out . The only thing I dont like was the reticle was really thin.. in the woods- trees hard too see. Works great for target shooting..Some things really bother me is the objective lens threads have loctite sealer in them. Signs of it being refurbished or really bad quality control... see pictures. Turret pointers move freely..Will update what happens Sent the scope bad on nov 10th. It was received on the nov. 13th. Its the 16th still no refund.. very very frustrated!!! As the first purchase was on October 5th. I still have no scope or refund yet. As you can imagine I'm not happy!!! Update. 1-15-21 Would NEVER RECOMMEND!! TRIED 6 OF THESE. ALL JUNK!!! this last one would have several random flyers.. then I figure it was shooting great if you were level... air few inches up on the target like 6 to 8 in it would shoot low.. air at the lower bullseye and it would be high..... shoot back at the center bullseye and it was on again... turrets weren't responding in correlation with the arrows.. moved it 5clicks up and it went down 2inches!!! Wtf!!! Sometimes a full turn and a half too get a response on point if impact... just for their price and saying it will hold up too the magnum swarm.. it didn't even take the swarm whisper. 22 recoil.. maney their 600$and up Airmax scopes are good.. but these Airmax 4x12x40 AO are completely useless!!! I will say the glass is super clear but at for performance these are crap!!! I but the Gamo 4x32 factory scope back on.. and was hitting 1in groups at 30yrs!! Now its seriously the Tack driver !! Cant believe all this time and frustration was due too Hawke Airmax Garbage!!! Hope this helps someone so they dont have to go threw this!!! Do not buy!!

Great scope and company
Style: 4-12x40, Adjustable Objective, 1" Tube, ...
Update: I'm not sure if the problem was with my gun or the scope I originally purchased but Hawke has a lifetime warranty on their scopes and they replaced mine. They were very easy and great to deal with and the scope has been dead on. I would recommend the scope and the company as well. I had a pro
blem and they took great care of me. Thank you Original review: I've seen a few reviews that mirror my experience. I bought this scope as an upgrade to my Gamo spring air rifle. I sighted it in and and was hitting almost everything I was shooting at. And the misses were obviously me. I was very impressed. Then after a month of so and maybe 100 rounds, I couldn't hit anything. I set up to resight the scope but was unable to do it. Dialed in on bullseye, the scope was shooting in a 2-3" spread at 20 yards and totally inconsistent from shot to shot. Maybe I just got a bad one, but my scope is a piece of crap. Other's have had this experience so beware.

Not impressed.
Style: 4-12x40, Adjustable Objective, 1" Tube, ...
I did not rate accuracy or durability, because I never bothered mounting it. This is supposed to be THE airgun scope which brags of 16 layer lens coatings and super glass. The one I had, the ocular lens had "white out" while outside, unless your eye was in a perfect spot, every time. The reticle was
very nice, very fine as most reviews state, and it seemed well built. But not impressed with the glass. Maybe I got a "fluke" but I guess I will never know for sure. Went instead with a Leupold 3-9x33 EFR. More expensive, but.....C L E A R!!!!!!!

Better choices out there for a little bit more $
Style: 4-12x40, Adjustable Objective, 1" Tube, ...
It’s a good choice for the price the adjustments are very stiff, clarity is decent certainly not in the top class of Scopes. It’s a nice scope though perhaps a little pricey. Add side parallax at this price point

Money well spent

I love this scope. Clarity is amazing especially at airgun distances. Adjustability is excellent. Love this scope. You will need tall rings for clearance.
