I had a new scope through the door from a brand I've not used yet-Wulf.
Ive just bought an hw99s in .177 and obviously wanted to pick up an appropriate scope. I've always been a Hawke man (and still am) but the last scope I bought was for a Walther LGU master pro, so I crowned it with something a bit higher in the price range which was a Hawke Airmax 30 6-24x50 AMX IR scope. It is a lovely piece of glass but obviously the Walther is a bit special. I wanted something equally as good but I needed an objective lens that was much smaller than the 50mm that the Airmax comes with because the hw99s is a much smaller gun in hand than the Walther.
After a lot of debating I chose the Wulf Hurricane Compact 4-14x44 IR for about £200. It came through the door today and although I've not mounted it yet it's been a beautiful day, so looking through it it has beautifully clear glass, a very well etched reticle and the zoom ring moves smoothly with the clocks on the turrets being nicely tactile and audible. I'm very impressed to be honest!
Obviously I'll report back when I've sighted her in and used her a bit, but it got me thinking about which scopes you guys (and girls) use and for what purpose. I target shoot mainly, but are you faithful to one brand or do you have a few, and how would you compare Hawke to Wulf? Gotta admit it's taken me by surprise and has even got me questioning if they are made in the same factory..?

So pleased to add this break barrel hw99s to the collection (known as the hw50 in most countries). I've been so engrossed with underlevers that when I broke my shoulder last summer I told myself that if I CAN get back to shooting so soon (it was touch and go and a lot of physiotherapy all winter) I would buy myself a break barrel. It's the only non-underlever in my collection and on testing through a string of 10 shots, it has a standard deviation of only 2.22fps, which is incredible, and my most consistent rifle straight out of the box!
It's amazing what Weihrauch did for the money with this one. It's supposed to be their 'entry level' full power rifle, but those of you who own or have shot them will know there is nothing sub-par about them. From the Minelli stock to the gorgeous blueing to the out of box performance- this one is a definite keeper. Oh, and she's a .177 btw so I really intend to get some longer distance target work done this summer to celebrate my shoulder being back to normal. Now bring on that sunshine somebody😉🤣Weihrauch hw99s
