I have two of the Hawke Air Max 4-12X40AO Mil Dot scopes. Have one on a tuned Chinese B-20 that is holding up great. Excellent glass and small mil dots. Just bought another one from JoeCuz at "Long Island Air Guns". Got a swell deal. It is going on my new BSA Ultra.

Had that model, considered the optics only okay, although I loved the reticule and the free software to use it. Go a Bushnell Legend to replace it.   You might have a hard time keeping it locked down on a 350, even with smaller, lighter scopes the 350 can make stuff shift, not to mention breaking stuff.  I'm just a little ray of sunshine, aren't I, Kirk :-)?  Good luck.

Well, like Dave mentioned if you put Hawke on a 350 it probably will die a sad death. As well as a Bushnell..:) My suggestion would find a Leapers scope to put on that 350. Leapers are heavy duty scope's that for the most part can take a licking and keep on ticking. If it breaks you can use it for a boat achor. Just my thoughts..:)

I called Straight Shooter and they said it would hold up. If breaks  I'll take down the road to Hawke Optics USA it's 15 miles from the house. Cougar  (And no they just sell to dealers)
