Wondering if anyone can share some experience with these scopes ? I have owned the Hawke and Leaper and I found the glass of Hawke to be better. Looking to get a Nikko Stirling but there are not many reviews out there.

I have two Nikko Stirlings mounted on a pair of Crickets. They have held up very well. I quit using Hawkes because of the POI shift issues when changing magnification or adjusting for parallax. Both are Target Master 4 x 16 x 44's. I have no idea of how to get warranty work should I ever need it though.
They are Chinese made just as the Hawke and Leapers scopes.
Nikko service is here.
https://www.legacysports.com/catalog/nikko-stirling/ I sent in a Nikko Diamond for service. A lot of phone calls. Many excuses. And, 5 months. Finally got a warranty replacement.
Hawke here
https://us.hawkeoptics.com I sent an Airmax in for service. Quick and responsive. Professional. They phoned me to discuss the problem. Great to deal with.
