With an illuminated reticle and holdovers! Could this replace the highly sought after Dedal Stalker?
Hawke’s New 4x and 6x Prism scopes!
- Thread starter Michael
- Start date
I own 2 (different manufacture) they are great for quick sighting, fast follow-ups and moving-running targets **** Pigs***
Both mounted on ARs - I can't see any use in the Airgun world - just my opinion.

I don’t recall it being short or restrictive, in fact that never crossed my mind. But if I pass by again I’ll double check.

They're on the Hawke website now but no eye relief listed that I can find. 100 yard fixed parallax confirmed as suggested by @Larcat

And I'll re-post the release from the other thread so it's all in one spot.

Prism Sight 4x24 5.56 BDC Dot
High quality prism sights designed for AR pattern rifles. The 4x24 model features a Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) reticle designed for 5.56 NATO ammunition.
Prism Sight 6x36 5.56 BDC Dot
High quality prism sights designed for AR pattern rifles. The 4x24 model features a Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) reticle designed for 5.56 NATO ammunition.

Yeah, this is what makes the Dedal and IRs special for airguns -- adjustable parallax.
If the Spitfire IIs had it, I'd be running those, even with the BDC. These Hawkes are VERY similar to the Spitfire IIs.
Edit --
Either Hawke or Vortex could do the existing scopes with a non-BDC and parallax fixed st 25Y and have airgun hunting useable scopes with very, very little effort....

Thats too bad. A BDC with a 50 yd fixed parallax would be usable for hunting on a Uragan 25 compact.

I'll have to ask Hawke about this. When I tested it, I aimed for something rather close (maybe 20 yards) and it was crystal clear.They're on the Hawke website now but no eye relief listed that I can find. 100 yard fixed parallax confirmed as suggested by @Larcat

The problem isn't clarity, it's actual parallax shift. I know with a Spitfire II, I could see stuff very clearly very close, but minor headshifts would have major impact on perceived POA for things at around 10 yards or so -- despite image clarity. Out at 30 or further, no problem -- but hunting squirrels in the woods it wouldn't work for me.

@Michael -- should clarify as well, that's why an option for fixed parallax at 25 yards and non-BDC would make these awesome for Airgun hunting -- covers you from 10-50 or so which is where almost all hunting and pesting is going to happen, decent eye relief, etc. Non-BDC for obvious reasons.

Hard to replace a Stalker unless maybe March made an equivalent. Which unfortunately they don’t!

New Immersive "pro" 5x are very similar on paper -- eye relief is almost identical to the stalker.

I had an IP 10x, was ok but like the Stalker a lot more. On the 10x the eye relief was essentially letting your eyelashes brush the glass…the Stalker’s ER is typical of most scopes, not nearly as close in practice as the IP.The
