    My Hawke works well. It's the 3-9 one. Turrets are capped and underneath it isn't numbered, so dialling it is risky as it'd be easy to lose track.

    Illuminated reticle for low light is handy - it can do red or green. The reticle is for 22lr subsonic. Second focal plane obviously so changing the magnification changes what ranges the subtensions represent. Advantage of this is you can use something like Strelok to work out what magnification you'll need to set it to, to get your chosen ammo to line up. Disadvantage is that the scope is then effectively fixed power.

    Mine's set just under 7x which makes the crosshair, 75m, 100m, 125m, 150m, 175m, and the post good for 50m, 75m, 99m, 124m, 149m, 174m, and 200m with the ammo I'm using (45gr going at 1000fps rather than your more typical 40gr at 1050fps) so the system is fairly flexible. I find 7x fine for minute of rabbit dome out to as far as the rifle (CZ452) can hit a target that size which is about 150m. Did reasonably well at the S22 comp with it recently too. No guesswork with holdovers or having to dial which meant I was free to just get on with pulling the trigger.

    There's a 4-16 and 30mm tubes which I think have side focus too.
