Hey guys,
I just wanted to pop on here and spout my mouth off about a scope I'm about to order. I will follow up with an up-close-and-personal review of it when I get it, but here's how I see it...
Its the Hawke Optics Sidewinder 30 w/Illuminated Mil-Dot. Ive been looking at it since I started looking at rifles. I didn't end up getting it because at the time I didn't foresee needing a good IR.
Well, now that I'm doing mostly night hunting, I have found that some green illumination would be great. On top of that, I have a .308 SPS... Perfect for long range target stuff which was why I got into rifles in the first place!
Well, Hawke looks like they have a great custom reticle in their lineup, referred to as the SR reticles. It works out well with the ballistics software to allow consistent changes with wind and distance for long range application.
Ive heard great things about quality of optics. It seems to me as a high end scope at a mid-end price. Perfect for me as I'm into saving as much dough as possible for gas money to hunt with.
I am ordering one of these bad boys tonight. Its an early Christmas gift from the parents, so as soon as I get it, I will be posting pictures and a full review on it.
In the meantime, does anyone here have experience with these scopes?
