Why HAWKE Optics?

As many of you know, RedHunter LLC is a proud dealer of HAWKE Optics.  Who is HAWKE and why did we choose them?  Well, because we literally spent days at the last Shot Show in Orlando, Florida just looking at optics.  There were manufacturers from all over the world showing their scope, binocular and spotting scope lines.   Everybody was there boosting their wares.   Small factories were there as well as all of the premium big name brands.

Our goal was to sort through them all and determine what we thought represented the best value for the dollars spent.  After examining them all, and I mean all, we settled on the HAWKE line of optics.  HAWKE has been in business for 30 years in the United Kingdom and the British designed HAWKE Optics have just been introduced here in the United States.

Here is a bit of news for you regarding rifle scopes.  Just about all of the rifle scopes made today are made and/or assembled in Asia.  Almost "all" of the lenses are ground there and the only determining factor betweena cheap scope and a more expensive model is the "quality" of the lens grind.  What it comes down to is, "How much quality control do you want in your lenses?"  Better brands should be spending more money on quality control than the so-so brands.  The scope's mechanical engineering may be done by the different brand manufacturers but many share the same basic parts and proven design features.

So, at the shot show when we compared  the HAWKE rifle scope optics and features next to the most popular premium brand, we were very impressed.  Same for the HAWKE spotting scopes.  During a recent Antelope hunt, we did a side-by-side comparison of the HAWKE Frontier spotting scope (Under $225.00) and a $3,000 Swarovski Spotting Scope and the results astounded the hunters and guides.  They were amazed at the clarity of the HAWKE spotting scope and could not see any apprecible difference in quality between the two.

Same for the HAWKE HD binoculars.  When the professional guides looked through them, they were impressed.  The HAWKE HD binos cost $400. and we put them side-by-side against a $1000. pair of Leupolds....the HAWKE binoculars won hands down for clarity, light weight (Titanium body) and brightness.  Needless to say, the Leupold owner was not happy.  But, he did buy a spotting scope from us.....LOL

It was never our intention to put any other brand down.  Our quest was, and continues to be, to find the best products for our customers (and ourselves) and offer these field tested products at a reasonable price.  I can honestly say that I have replaced three of my rifle scopes with HAWKE Optics and I love them.  John and I presonnaly use all of the products we sell.  If we don't believe in them, we don't sell them.

Speaking of rifle scopes, I just got word that the new HAWKE tactical line (built on the Sidewinder 30 chassis) is due out next week.  I have already ordered a 4.5 X 14 X 42 Illuminated with an SR6 reticle for my .223 AR Rock River Arms Coyote rifle.  I will be testing this new, smaller offering and write a review on it soon.
