The Hawke Riflescope Story... Europe's Number One Riflescope, Now Available in the USA! It's an unfamiliar name to most American hunters, but Hawke riflescopes offer the innovation and quality that American hunters demand. A partnership between a scope marketer, a 3X world champion, and a group of Japanese optical engineers... Hawke has gained a solid reputation in Europe. They own 50% of the scope market in England (UK) and dominate the rest of Europe, too. This article will attempt to explain their amazing success. (Continued Below...)
Optical Quality - Hawke's engineers developed a new "broad band" lens coating that captures the brightest image without sacrificing clarity and resolution. They call it True-View coating. The lenses themselves are individually selected and matched to give edge to edge image clarity. Then during assembly, each lens set is inspected repeatedly to be sure the target image stays crisp and clear through the full range of magnification.
Mechanical Quality - "Repeatability" is critical in riflescopes. Not just the windage and elevation adjustment, but also the point of impact throughout the scope's magnification range. Hawke's innovative reticles and computer programs require their scopes to be repeatable in these areas. So, they developed construction methods and quality control that assures it. Hawke IS Mechanical Quality.
SR Special Reticles - Three time World Champion field target shooter Nick Jenkinson designed the "SR" Special Reticle system that's featured in Hawke SR riflescopes. He showed it to us at the 2007 Shot Show. An avid deer hunter, Nick explained how simple the Hawke SR riflescopes are in the most common as well as extreme hunting situations. Long and short distance shooting. Dusk, dawn or low light, brush shooting situations.
Waterproof, Fog proof, Shock Proof - The SR reticles themselves are glass etched, which is 10 times stronger than wire reticles, withstands magnum recoil and never fails. Hawke lenses are mounted to withstand recoil from both magnum centerfire and magnum spring airgun rifles... doubly reinforced. They're filled and sealed with DRY nitrogen and o-rings to keep out moisture, retain lens clarity.
Additional Features - Hawke riflescopes have a fast focus eyepiece to easily focus the reticle to suit your eye. Positive and repeatable 1/4 MOA windage and elevation is due to precise machining of the mechanism as well as high tensile beryllium erector return springs. Lifetime Warranty.
