Hawke red dot scope

[rosco]

Anyone on here used the hawke spot-on 1x25 for boar shooting. I can't find any reviews online.

Many thanks

My apologies for not answering on point to the Hawke, but look at the Bushnell TRS-25, with a 3 MOA dot and 11 brightness settings. It mounts onto a single cross slot of a Picatinny, Weaver, or Warne type rail or base. And it can be had with a riser to put it about 1 inch higher, for high comb rifles. It can be found for about $55.00 USD on sale, typically at $99.00.

For a bit more money, Bushnell First Strike is a lot like the Burris and Zeiss sights, which fit onto the AR-15, shotguns and some handguns, like the FNH 45. Looking at the FNH will give you an idea of the scale. It has a 5 MOA dot.

The Burris FastFire must be pretty rugged, as many of them are used on .45 ACP race guns, mounted on the slide, as well as on AR-15s, on 12 gauge shotguns.

Ive been using the bushnell TRS-25 for years on my tracking rifle, never lost zero and works!

A point about the TRS-25 and other similar reflective sights:
If you have astigmatism, the dot will appear distorted or fuzzy, even with corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses.

The more expensive Burris, Vortex, and other sights which use prisms do not have that problem. They will appear sharp to the naked eye or with corrective lenses, night vision, laser protective glasses, etc. That is why the military uses them.
