Re: HAWKE
You need to get to a gun show and check out both. I have checked out both... and there is no way that I would spend MY money on a NS. The Hawke's are heads and tails above the NS's.
Glass, features, 30mm tube, fast focus eye piece, tactical locking turrets, half-mil marked reticles... just to name a few.
Of course, this is just my opinion... and just about everyone else's too. I encourage you to check them both out.
