I'm not sure the exact science of it all (am sure someone will be along to correct me!) but this is how I think it is.... Say you zeroed your Hawke sidewinder 6.5-20 at 25yds at a magnification of 20X and at a 35yds target you need to hold over 1 mil dot. If you stayed at 35yds but decreased the magnification to 12X you would need to give it less than 1 mil dot of hold over. As I understand it, the aim points are only "true" at the magnification at which you zeroed the gun. Therefor, if you're out hunting and zoom out to 6X to take in a wider field of view, you need to return to the same

Hi timskie I have a Hawke sidewinder tac 30 and its a pretty good bit of gear. I also have a Falcon Menace FFP which I use on a hunting set up. Because its First Focal Plain the reticle changes size as you zoom in and out so you don't need to worry about adjusting your aim point for different magnifications. Not everyone likes them but it works for me! Best bet is to go and try a load as your eye might prefer one over another.

I've got one mate. It is a pretty good bit of gear and I used to use it for hunting and target shooting..... Then I bought a HW100 for hunting and if I'm honest, I think the HW100 does as good a job as the Panther. JUST MY OPINION THOUGH guys, am sure there would be as many people who would say the opposite. My Panther might be for sale as well....

I just answered a similar question on another thread! I use one with an iPhone 4S and quite like it. I will cut and paste below to save time...... I bought one of these a month or two ago direct from the USA. I had a few issues if I'm honest: The ad said it fitted 99% of scopes on the market but it didn't fit my Hawke sidewinder or MTC Viper. They say it fits scopes with a diameter of upto 50mm.... Yeah, it does, but not if you want to secure it! 50mm seems to be the inside diameter of the tube that goes over your scope. The problem is that there are "feet" on the 4 knob

Nice. I love mine. Bought a cheep laptop of eBay to do my own reticle designs (laptop has to have a 32 bit operating system). A doctor Bob doubler is a good addition too!

Might also be worth finding the pressure sweet spot on it. I've got a Huntsman XL and it shoots best between 170bar and 140bar. It should be shooting much tighter groups than that. If you can't sus it out, go back to the dealer/Daystate and I'm sure they will help you out. Nothing more frustrating than buying a new gun then having to send it back!!!!

The problem is that there are "feet" on the 4 knob screw things that reduce the inside diameter to less than 44mm. Also, one of the knob screws obstructs my bolt which I didn't realise until I had spent ages gett

Thats the video that made my mind up!

It lists the data for about 12 differnt types of .17hmr but nothing for the .17wsm. It has drop numbers for rounds from 16 gram .17hmr upto a 766 gram "rifiked slug" what ever that is!! My permision is quite small so it would just be nice to have a bit of focus below 50yds as you do get the odd Kamikaze rabbit pop its head out 30yds infront of where I'm laying every now and then.

I bought a ferret listed as a "X" breed.. Its got a bit of something else in it thats for sure. I was first suspicious when it grew to 30kg and killed my girlfriend Anyone shed some light on what it might be? Heres a photo of the little rascal and deceased girlfriend

This really is designed for longer distances, no reason not to use it on a .2lr with subs though, for which there is a strong argument for this type of scope, perhaps you should suggest to them they do a Rimfire or .22lr version! I agree, the idea behind it is for longer ranges but it lists the drop number for over 50 different .22lr rounds on its paper work (Not Ely subs though! All I had to do was zero the gun at 50yds and the workout the number of inches of drop at 200yds). I'm trying to put together a small video demo of ranging objects and giving the aim points out to 160yds based o

I've got a 30ft/lb Huntsman and it works well with Bisley magnums and H&N Barracuda's. I only zero mine at 39yds because that's what the Hawke chairgun software told me to do!

I did look at getting one from the states via eBay. It was cheaper but once I decided I was getting one I had to go and get it right away lol! I love it. Only use it out to 100yds but it works for me and as a .22lr sub has quite a bit of drop, you really get the effect. Only thing I wish it had is a parallax adjustment for ranges under 50yds.

So, I have been looking at getting some kind of range finding scope for a while and after talking to a few guys on here and doing a bit of research, I decide to take the plunge and headed to the gun shop (not the nearest one, not even the cheapest one, but the one that GAVE the best service..) with cash in hand. I walks in and I gets a reaction a bit like what Django got when he was riding the horse through the first town in Django Unchained (if you've seen you will know what I mean, if you haven't seen it, SEE it!!). Anyway, unperturbed I make my way to the display cabinet housing the sco

Hi mate. I tried them....Didn't get on with my CZ. Second 10 shot group was a bit better than the first but no where near as good as Eley's or RWS. All barrels are different so they might work with yours.
