rimmie Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi all, I have a hawk tac 30 6.5-20x42, it's second hand. I'm having real problems with it running out of Elevation, I can't get it to even 100 yards. I put a target at 30 yards just to get it on paper just to start somewhere, I got it sport on at 30, wound it up 2 MOA to to start at 100 yards. Then it locked up. I have wound the turret 3 times to get it roughly in neutral position. It still only gives me a a few Moa till it's maxed ? Any thoughts or similar problems for others ? I should say it has gone back to hawk today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspertguk Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) What gun/calibrate are you using? If at 30 yards you are shooting good groups you should hit near the spot at 150yrds (.17hmr) Try getting it to shoot half a inch low at 30 yards. This should get you on paper at 50 and 100. (.17hmr) other calibres will be slightly different. If this does not work, check scope rings. Are they too high or too low for your setup? You don't want to go up at thirty yards you want to go down. A bullet travels in a arc. Edited March 18, 2017 by caspertguk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
