Pricing Question…

[SuperSixFive]

Hi gents….a fellow shooter has a Frontier scope he wants to move on and I’m considering buying it for one of my Rimfire rifles.

It’s the model advertised here….

Hawke Frontier 30 2.5-15x50 SF Mil Pro 10x IR .1 Mrad Scope

<p>The Hawke Frontier has been created with supreme accuracy for rifle shooting, driven, and hunting applications in mind.</p>

www.sportsmanguncentre.co.uk

It’s in the box with everything that came with it (sunshade) and apparently mint with two sets of mounts…(Sportsmatch)

What’s it worth please, any views?

I dunno. £700 plus seems a tad high for a new one anyway. Do you need 15X magnification? You could get something like a second hand Zeiss Duralyt 3-12X50 for maybe £400- ish. Which I guess is around the same money maybe.

I know what you mean but nothing is cheap these days Pedro is it . In fact the frontier models go for more than that on other sites….crazy.

He’s asked me to make him an offer and just didn’t want to pitch it wrong really.

just have a look at the similar threads below your question and you will get the idea <£300 or less >

Ashray was generous I wouldn't want it. Olly has just sold a scope of significantly higher standard for less. Pedro also points out a better scope.

Buy an Element Helix. Better than any Hawke offering.

I would not take account of any mounts which were part of the deal, (unless they were something out of the ordinary), I would then scour the internet for the best price new as a basis. A quick delve took me here;

Hawke Frontier 30 SF 2.5-15x50 IR SFP MIL PRO Zero Lock Rifle Scope (Includes FREE set of Dovetail AND Weaver Mounts Worth £30!)

Hawke Frontier 30 SF 2.5-15x50 IR SFP MIL PRO Zero Lock Rifle Scope. All Hawke Frontier models feature Hawke’s new H7 optics with a high zoom ratio, supreme clarity and light transmission.

www.opticswarehouse.co.uk

After that, and if the scope condition is as suggested plus accessories and it fits your eyes wants and needs, the usual ask or offer is 2/3 the best, (lowest), retail.

I am a bit of a Hawke fanboy and keep an eye on their products but I do have a feeling though that the Frontier range is due a refresh

Well, as a gauge for yourself, there is a Delta Titanium for sale on this site at a fairly keen £425 posted, 2.5-15 x 56.
I have a couple of these and a Frontier like this one on the air rifle, I think the Delta is quite a bit better in every department.

 

[ashray]

also remember that all hawke scopes have a life time warranty BUT ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL BUYER !!

Do you know if the elements scopes work well with the pard 007?

 

[Bo Diddley]

Yep they do.

 

[Scotty123]

Yep they do.

Great
Thanks for that

There is pretty much this model and it sold at £600, One of the others sold at £350. So your assessment is off the mark.

 

[Gunner223]

I have the sidewinders plus the same Frontier as in the picture, the frontier is a better picture in my view, there is an older spec for sale around the 300
mark , os I believe its around the 550-600 mark, also I use my Frontier with the pard 007 and its a great picture .

 

[SuperSixFive]

Thanks for all the feedback gents much obliged.

 

[Herb64]

Do you know if the elements scopes work well with the pard 007?

Yes they do. Very well. Punch well above there weight.

Great
At the minute I’m using a hawke fast mount
But it’s a nightmare as it’s front parallax
So your hand blocks the ir as your trying to focus
So I need to get a sf scope

Take off vat = 20%

Retailers margin = perhaps 20%

Is guarantee transferable to second owner, Hawke have a good reputation but only to orginal owner! What's the guarantee worth to you? You are spending secondhand Swarovski money and their warranty is first rate.
