Awesome hawke "entry level scope" - Hawke Sport Optics Sport HD Rifle Scope 4-12x50 AO Mil Dot IR

This is a awesome scope. Very nice entry level Hawke. However as stated, I was let down on the "minor details". I used on my Marauder .177 to "try it out". As used it, very clear. Then I put it on my Marauder Pistol, which it works very well for the 40 yd and under shots. Once it breaks in, I am sure the tight optic adjustments will loosen.
Pros: Clarity is awesome. Best 4-12 scope I ever used. Meets the Hawke specs that I expected. Very nice scope for the money. Illumination is awesome.
Cons: Adjustments are hard to turn, requires the most force I ever used on scope, very tight. Comes with "cheap" caps with the elastic cord. I would have paid extra for the flip up caps if Hawke would specify what caps/covers came with it.
