Hi Carl,
I'm sorry I cant give comments on either of them as I have never used them.
I tend to keep my scopes for many years as I have got use to them and the rets and mill dots on my shoots.
I'm sure there will be someone who can give advice or there will be many a video to help make up your mind.
Keep in mind what you are shooting and at what distance and the times as this will also help in you aid on getting a scope.
Regards Kev.

Cheers kev, , seem to be very limited with the Gun shops that are around me, they all seem to be selling & pushing Hawke and I just can't get on with them, it'll only be used for plinking in garden & Rabbits a couple of times a month, I know every eye is different just trying to find a semi decent bit of glass for around the 250 mark

I have used the Hawk Panarama EV 3.9.50 AO IR for some years now the old style not the new style and shoot rabbits way out past 100 plus yards and the quality of the lens for the price is excellent.
The blue mill dot ret is a joy to use in the dark on rabbit and the rats and for the Woodie in the trees I also use the blue mill dot ret.
It has never let me down and has always held zero.
Regards Kev.
