The new pre-owned rifle and scope my wife bought for me this week.
Came with a Hawke scope (6-24 I think), but it doesn’t seem to have any identifying
numbers on it, I’m hoping when I get round to photoing the scope someone might be able
to identify it for me .
Soon as I get home from my holiday , I’ll get the camera out and take as many angles as I can 😎😎😎

Look underneath the eye bell, that's where Hawke put the model and part number.
 
Having checked the scope all the marking I see are 6-24x50
And engraved on the tube D08.
Other features IR adjustment 1-5 & 1-5
Doesn’t seem to have any side focus .
Wondering if it’s one of those Chinese knock offs I read about a few years ago ??

Just received a reply from Hawke 😁

"I believe the scope will be a Fast Mount. This is a range that we supply directly to our trade customers and is not advertised on our website. It is most similar to the Vantage IR scopes in our current range. The D08 refers to the month and year of manufacture, August 2020"

It will do for now and give the wife something to aim for (no pun intended) , for possible Christmas presents lol
