Great video and explanations there. I definitely need a new scope for my new Christmas present to myself in the HW99s. Just had to check what scope i had on it and it's a 3x9x40EG illuminated thing i got on Amazon years ago. Great if you had the vision back when you were a teenager but for me always adjusting or squinting when shooting indoors. Cheers 👍👍
@@ScratchyBaws unless you need an illuminated reticle the fast mount is 3-9x40ao is ideal for the 99. the larger scopes in the range are a bit too long.
@@gardenguns Yes the Crosman Trailhawk multishot i purchased last week came with a 3-9x40AO scope and yes it was very nice to look through. Have a look into the one you mentioned but by Hawke.
It’s a very competitive market but I wholeheartedly agree with you, Hawke are very good and well priced. I have them on three of my air rifles and they’ve proved to be very reliable. Enjoying your twelve days of Christmas, many thanks 👍
Great stuff..I've budget scopes on all my rifles once my rifle selection is where I'd like it to be then upgrades on scopes is the next goal. The air max is what I've been looking at seems to cover my needs targets hunting +control 👍👍
Good one. I really like the cheaper end of the Hawke range. Had 2 for many years and despite being moved on and off one Air rifle after another, both still work fine. No bells or whistles , just do what they should. Plink on. Keith.
@@keithbarker-e4q for the money the fast mounts are hard to beat. Hawke loose me to other brands when you push above the £250 mark but up to that point they hit the mark.
I have AirMax scopes on all my air rifles. For precision shooting they are best. The AirMax has also a way finer crosshair that won't cover the pellet holes. The 2-7X32ao is in my opinion the best choice for the HW30 and HW55 and can be focused on very short range too. Most people buy way to big scopes for their air guns. Bigger is not always better. Cheers!
All my(manyand all spring )air rifles and rim fires have have Hawke scopes from cheapest to top of the range, I've only broke one and that fell off the top of a land rover(yes it was empty)
I have the Hawke, Fastmount 3-9 x50 AO Mildot, on my 45 odd year old Webley Vulcan .22 Springer & had it from New. Also the "WULF" 2-7 x32 AO Mildot on my Victory CP2 CO2 Rifle/Pistol Combo in .22. Maybe have a Google at the WULF range too, though mine is in MRAD, not MOA (just means the Clicks are a different value, but once it's Zeroed, it's very good)
@@felgate11 I have seen the WULF scopes. If that is what your budget justifies then they are good option. However I think the Hawks are an overall step up over the WULF scopes I have used. At the end of the day it always comes down to the money you have spare to spend on your hobbies. If you are like me, it’s never enough!
@@gardenguns Maybe mate, I Won the WULF on a YT Giveaway and is easily good enough for my CP2.(my garden is 20 yards - tops) The Hawke 3-9 x50 cost me £65 from Drapers about 4 year ago.
I wouldn't trust a Hawke scope on a springer. My Remington express compact broke a Hawke fast mount 3-9x40 also the same happened to someones 4-16x50IR also on a springer. I also have the 4-16x50IR but won't be putting in on any of my Springer's. But they are a good budget scope.

Hey, who’s worried, it’s a lovely idea which is working well. Looking forward to the next one 😁

@@steve4697 Airmax are a great line of scopes. If you are going for a higher end airmax have a look at optisan and MTC as well.

Can't go wrong with Hawke scopes, wether it be budget OR top end, most of my rifles sport Hawke scopes. Very good aftersale service as well
@@markhomer5704 I forgot to mention their after sales. Thanks for mentioning that! 👍
Same as....all mine have got them on 👍

@@rapalaron6348 My sons first air rifle was a HW30 with a fast mount 3-7x32ao. It was a great combo and perfect for a junior.
@@gardenguns Yes buddy. Both great for a junior and for adults. I love to shoot my HW30 and it is as accurate as a PCP. Cheers!

@@erikball7215 Hi Erik, Hope you kept your receipt and got the scope replaced?
@@gardenguns I did keep the receipt but after a while the ink faded off so Hawke wouldn't do anything.
@ yeah they are getting a bit more stringent. I take a picture of my receipts now. Sorry to hear that.
No Leshiys on your videos ?
@@TheAsa1972 Not yet. I Don’t think I have ever come across one other than in videos.
