Hawke sport optics vantage 4-12x40 (.17 hmr) - Hawke Sport Optics Vantage 4-12x40mm Rifle Scope, 1in Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

Was looking for a scope to put on my new Savage A17 and really didn't want to go the cheap plastic route. Read through all the scope options on Optics Planet and chose this scope even though at the time there was only one review. Couldn't be happier! Great workmanship, very tight. Clean glass and NO distortion at 12 power. The best thing about it is the folks at Hawke didn't screw up the width of the cross hairs. For varmit shooting (small targets) when you zoom in on max power, some manufacturers have the crosshairs so thick it obscures the actual target. Not Hawke, Not this scope. I think these two will make a great pair for a long time. Now, because of their good work on this scope, I'm adding Hawke to my list of longer range scope in the near future. Nice not to get burned.
