Hawke scope/rings
For you out there that has a hawke xb30 does it come with rings? If not what rings do you prefer? I can get a new one for $220 but it doesn't have the rings and figured even buying a set of rings would be a good deal for that price. Thanks
Re: Hawke scope/rings
That would be a good deal, I bought my XB-30 from Daivd at Wyverns, And he included the rings for free. Nice four bolt per ring mounts that are very nice indeed, With the no scratch and mar inside ring protectors. His # is 1-603-659-0575, I'm sure he would get you set up nicely, and not break your bank doing it....

My Buddy Normous send me a set of these. Truly light weight and rugged.

Re: Hawke scope/rings
When I collected my Hawke XB-30 Compact, I simply ordered a set of their rings to go with.
Once I mounted the scope with them however, I rapidly discovered that even though designated "medium", these put the scope FAR too high for my liking:
So, I took them off, and went back to the factory Excalibur mounts for the scope I had removed:
MUCH Better! And still on the bow today.
Still have those Hawke mounts. Anyone here wants them for the price of shipping they are yours...
Cheers,

Re: Hawke scope/rings
So are the factory rings considered low or med?

I would consider them LOW. The "medium" Hawke rings were quite a bit higher. No good for me. I HAVE to have my cheek weld just right or I simply cannot shoot well.Huntman2 wrote:So are the factory rings considered low or med?

Re: Hawke scope/rings
I recently bought a set of the Vortex Hunter rings in 30mm. Seem to be pretty nice rings. The finish is good, edges all smooth, no burrs or sharp edges. They do have a sticker on the bottom that says "Made in China". I thought that a bit of a bummer. However at 20 bucks to my door they aren't too bad.(Amazon)
