Hawke Airmax 2-7X 32 mm AO

Airguns produce a measurably different recoil pulse than do firearms, and, depending on the type and caliber, this difference can be substantial enough to damage a traditional riflescope over time.

So, shooters looking to add optics to their air rifles should choose airgun-specific scopes such as those in Hawke’s Airmax line—which offers four models.

Rated for all calibers, the compact 2-7X variant is built on a 1" main tube, with parallax adjustment (7.5 yards to infinity) built into the 32 mm objective bell.

It features fully multi-coated lenses, low-profile windage/elevation turrets and a second-focal-plane AMX reticle designed expressly for air rifle use, and has been nitrogen-purged.

MSRP is $259. For more information, visit us.hawkeoptics.com.
