Most Helpful Positive Review Airmax 4-12x40AO seems to be springer proof!
I mounted this scope on my RWS 48 using a UTG droop compensating weaver style base. This recoil of this rifle has destroyed a lot of scopes over the years. I decided to try this new and improved Airmax scope because of the good reviews I had read and the good reputation of the Hawke brand. So far...

Most Helpful Negative Review Know what you're buying
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the scope. It sits on my Gamo Urban and really gets the job done. That said, it does have "budget scope" issues. The scope is fantastic until you hit the 8-9x range of zoom. At and beyond 9x the scope really falls on its face. It just stops gathering light. The eye ...

Turrets won’t move without considerable force

by JEH2, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on August 21, 2025
While I have another Hawke scope that is ok, this one came with turrets that were near impossible to move. Upon doing some research I found this is a complaint that others have had. It is clearly a quality control issue. I’ve retuned it and won’t be purchasing Hawke again.
Pros:
  • Nice looking
Cons:
  • Basically does not work
Best Used for:
  • nothing - do not buy
  • Nothing / garbage
Would recommend: No

Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • none so far
Best Used for:
  • Pests

Pros:
  • Great quality for the price
  • great customer service
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Plinking Hunting
Would recommend: Yes

rock solid scope

by Bruce Harris, from IN, United States Written on December 12, 2018
With smooth controls , rugged construction and an awesome reticle this scope is solid as a rock. I have it mounted on a Diana model 52 with a BKL -260 MB mount to tie it all down. I've shot well over 100 shots and haven"t had to adjust scope since sight in and thats even after tryting out for clearance purposes on my sons RWS 350 magnum . First time owning a Hawke product and I'm impressed and would highly recomend to all you magnum sringer owners or anyone looking for a great scope at a very good price.

Great air rifle scope!

by Wisco Guy, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on October 7, 2018
I purchased this scope to replace my UTG scope mounted on my Benjamin Nitro Piston Stealth .22 air rifle. This Hawke scope is so much clearer! The reticle is very precise, too. Hawke’s ChairGun App is really handy and easy to use.
Pros:
  • quaility
  • Clairity
Cons:
  • expensive - but worth it
Best Used for:
  • air and 22lr
Would recommend: Yes

Great Scope with a Great Warranty

by Trip80, from TX, United States Written on June 21, 2016
I bought this scope for my RWS 350 Magnum that comes with a lifetime warranty. All the reviews I read on this scope are great and it is topped off by their great warranty. Great construction, clear glass, and made to take the impact of a magnum springer. I just got it, but am confident it will be a great scope for this air rifle.
Pros:
  • Warranty, Construction, Clarity
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Varmint hunting and target
  • Magnum Air Rifles
Would recommend: Yes
