My name is Daryl and I am a guide for Critter Gitter Outfitters. I bought Hawk Optics Varmint SF 4-16×44, I have to say for under $200 these scopes are hard to beat.

Well, as we all know; The biggest problem with ALL scopes is the Lens Covers. ( they tend to fall off!) And once lost, very difficult to find!

Later I decided to try a different bullet as this was mounted on my 243, Savage Arms. Also plan on using same for deer hunting this year!
So, I proceeded to zero for 100 gr soft tips, after 4 shots, was on dead zero! Marked where i had… Continue reading
