Mr.C Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I have one of the above scopes and want to know if it'll cope with a .308. Do any PW members have any experience of this combination? Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Shredder. Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Email Hawke, a very helpful company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry136 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi Don't know if this helps, but both me and my shooting buddy are using Hawke Sidewinder scopes on .243 rifles with no issues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 I have the 4-16 version on my .22lr and that's fine, but it doesn't anywhere near answer your question. Best advice is contact Deben/Hawke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted June 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Cheers I'll get the model number and try them. Turns out gun is coming with 30mm rings too so I've an MTC that'll stand it if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewh100 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 my 6-24x44 varmint is on my tikka 17 hmr which works well, not sure about 308 I'm sure hawke will give the information your looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted June 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Not recommended, wire ret so won't like the recoil. Hawke responded within the hour. Pretty good service. Scope is actually marked VAR832X42M Edited June 7, 2019 by Mr.C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
