jonnie bravo 572 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Ey up folks, wondering if you can shed some light on some trouble I had last night. I have purchased a new Hawke sport HD 3-9x40 for my prosport and went down to the range last night to zero in. Got a rough zero, then unscrewed the locking ring on the objective to get a fine focus to help fine tune the zero. Screwed the locking ring back on after setting the focus, double checked it and went on with zeroing. Went back in after a 10 min break and the image was blurry, the focus was too far away, so readjusted it again. Same thing happened again. Any idea what's going on? Is my springer knocking I out of focus? Do I need to 'zero' my parallax every time? Don't remember having this trouble with my old leapers but I mainly shot that on the 20yd range. Ta!

Wildling 520 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Does this scope have AO fitted or are you referring to the eyepiece adjustment ring on the back of the scope? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonnie bravo 572 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hi mate sorry for the confusion it doesn't have AO fitted but you can adjust it by taking the locking ring off and turing the lense, the opposite end to the eyepiece Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I can't believe you haven't had much response on this yet. As hawke scopes are the mutts nuts..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JBWALES 5 Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Seems odd, but does it do it every time. Your eyes may be getting used to a specific focus whilst you are zeroing/shooting, but during the short break they go back to normal if that makes sense, and then when you go back to looking through the scope again they have to re-adjust all over again. Failing that, I have come across some fixed parallax scopes which don't respond well to re-parallaxing, not many mind. You may have just been unlucky with this individual.

Cedric 132 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I have two of those Hawke scopes, the fixed focus was 100 yards, as I wanted them for air rifle I unscrewed the locking rings and turned the lens to adjust it to about 35 yards. It was extremely fiddly getting the locking ring back on without moving the lens but I managed. The focus appears to have remained the same since. Perhaps you have screwed the ring back on without the lens holding ring being fully seated and it's moving a little. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
