HAWKE SIDEWINDER 5-30X50 TMX RETICLE

Written on Feb 17, 2017

Ok I would like to start out with the package arrived in 3 days boxed well as always from Optics planet .
I had to get my hands on the 5x30x50 TMX FRONTIER to test.
I just reviewed the 2.5x15 and was so impressed I needed to try this model .
I unboxed the scope everything nicely protected well packaged . I was unsure with this model as parallax min goes to 30 yards unlike most all Hawke scopes go to 10 yards so this I needed to try out , I mounted it on a Air-Arms S-510 .22 caliber and then bore sighted . I noticed with all hawke scopes I have installed and its been over 30 now this scope bore sighted close to the middle range of turrets which was a good sign .
I then set up a target and zeroed @50 yards . I then have other targets every 10 yards up to 130 yards .
Once scope was zeroed with 4 shots I then did my normal turret test meaning a Box test left and up 4 mils with turret then right 8 mils then down 8 mils and right 8 mils then back to zero , total of 10 shots each turret adjustment and I also vary power range . I wish I could of posted a picture of target perfect square and when put back to zero all 10 shots threw same hole as first 10 shots , the turrets are flawless .
I do not know what Hawke has done to design this scope but I have used every model from Air Max to every sidewinder .
This model and other Frontier the glass is superb , I love all Hawke scopes but the Frontier is just higher quality I am not sure how or why the glass is just clearer then a

Hawke Sport Optics Frontier 30 Side Focus 2.5-15x50 Scope TMX

Written on Jan 25, 2017

Hi I bought this scope 1 month ago , I love Hawke scopes for PCP Air Rifles .
This was my first Frontier scope , I have bought 2 other Hawke sidewinders and I love them so here goes
I received scope as usual came quickly packaged very well , I looked threw Reticle and I have to say , to me It seemed just a bit better glass then the sidewinder models which I love . I mounted it on a Air -Arms S-510 PCP gun zeroed scope @ 50 yards shot great , I held records years ago @1000 yards in the 1980s so when I buy A quality scope . I just do not zero it and call it a day , I am very more techanil on my testing , so I then I box tested turrets , meaning I moved 4 MOA to R and 4 MOA up and ,8 MOA left then 8 MOA down and left and right again so I make a square I do this with 5 shots in each setting and when I go back to 0 , If the holes are not exact as I shot when I had zeroed it fails my turret tests .
Well this scope was spot on it made a perfect square and when re-zero turrets , same hole , I was very impressed ,
Ok lets move on this scope has lighted reticles I have noticed many different brands are brighter and duller this scope the lighting was perfect and threw out magnification it was clear ,
I bought this model as the parallax went down to 10 yards they also make a 5x30 I am in process of getting for a different gun to see how it preforms .
Ok so I would highly recommenced this scope for anyone looking for a Hi end PCP gun I found it also to be spot on in Hawke chair-g
