Hawke vantage 4x32 ao mil dot - Hawke Sport Optics Vantage 4x32mm Rifle Scope 1in Tube Second Focal Plane

Pretty good scope for the money. Reticle isn’t that good for my use. I assumed incorrectly that the spacing was standard mil dot, 3.6moa, which would have been great for me. (Don’t know what I was thinking). But it is 3.6 at 10x making this 3.6 times 2.5. But it does help. I threw it on a Gamo Urban. I chronied the 14.3gr Crosman domes at 850fps and sighted at 30. Drop is only a couple inches at 50. The first “mil” dot is 4.5”. So it helps as I can “bracket” between the cross hair and dot. As for the crosshair thickness, it is about what you would expect from a relatively inexpensive 4x and I like it. This air rifle has almost zero recoil so I can’t speak to its toughness for a springer. Optics are ok. Nothing more than its price point though. Clear especially in the center. When you move from side to side or up and down you see some “fish bowl” distortion along the edge. But it’s a sub $100 scope and I expected that. It reminds me of a Nikon Prostaff, if that’s any help. First time I turned the AO ring I felt a bind then release. That was the only time and it seems ok, but it does make wonder. The marked measurements are a little off but easy to grow accustomed to. I put it just over 50’ and it is good from 12 or so yards to 30 plus. I think the reticle remains on target when the ring is turned which can be an issue on cheaper scopes. All things considered, this scope will absolutely work for me!
