    Hawke branded scopes are used in Britain on 12ft lb air rifles, not much else.
    They range from about $30 to $200 new.
    The most expensive ones are perfectly ok on rimfires but you wouldn't use them on centrefire rifles.

      I don't know if you know. The spring airguns destroys scopes(even sub 12ft/lb). Hawke scopes are so shock resistant that has been one of the most used in springers. They can be trusted in center fire, clear glass and the parallax adjustments are well done.

    The bulky "precision" furniture with the thumbhole stock and green colour certainly makes it LOOK like a modern (for the time) sniper rifle, like an AWP or SAKO TRG, which does count for something when the rifle's primary purpose is to look cool in the hands of Home Guard volunteers for the recruitment ads.

Printed a group of 5" at 50 yards, About sold the rifle but put an old Leupold Vari x 1 on it surprisingly shot sub moa. On closer inspection, found the Tasco/Hawke had a warped tube, loose internals, and the front objective lens would rotate a few degrees with the slightest movement of the rifle. The scope was new and put on the rifle by the seller to help up the price, he figured an optic would help sell the rifle. Sent the scope back for warranty, 4 months later got it back, and immediately put it up for consignment at my local ffl.

    One would certainly *hope* that the second pattern did improve upon this, as there isn't much way to make it less fit for service unless you add a cloth beltfeed.
    Still, they tried (to save money), and it's an interesting piece of history.

    The bipod locking at 3 or 9 o'clock is probably to have a better footprint for storing in a hard case, it probably comes in a wooden box with cutouts that the rifle slots into. That's all I can think of.

    Ian has the M14 bug and he's in denial about it.

The M14 fucks, it is the ultimate checkmate against the haters.

    Ian, That's a fine historical example of something somebody did... But even my mother would mount that scope closer to the receiver 😲 By the time you put it on, forget the irons...
