Anyone tried Hawke air rifle scope on 22

[Brian011]

I was looking to buy Hawke Airmax EV 4-12x50 AO for my air rifle but wondering if someone used airmax on 22?

Thanks,

I haven't used an Airmax, but I do have a sidewinder on my .308 at the moment. Air rifles are harder on scopes because they have recoil both directions. If you like the scope it will work fine on a .22

Thanks for your input! I thought so as well, better quality air rifle scopes are built pretty tough.

Parallax should be adjustable down to 10 meters, good for a 22 or air rifle

I have 4 Hawke scopes, two on .22s , one on a .223, and one on my 22-250. Never had any issues and good scopes for the money.

The reticles are fine line (ie. not medium or heavy)....if that is ok for your application ......just thought i would mention that. They will hold up to a 22lr no problem.

I think I will be ok with fine reticle...have a couple of Redfiled's with ultra thin crosshairs.
