I am looking for some advice on my Hawke Frontier scope 30 FFP 5-25X56. I have zeroed the gun at 30 yards and due to restrictions on my property have never had the opportunity to shoot past 50 yards. The other day I attempted to dial up past 5 mil on the elevation turret but was unable to. I have the return to zero stop engaged so essentially i cam only dial up from 0-5 mil . The scope is numbered up to 8 mil so effectively I have lost 3 mil of dial up ability. Can any one advise the reason behind this ....i have checked online and they say you have to re-set the optical zero. If any one has experienced the same and can offer advice on how to resolve this it would be greatly appreciated.
Hake frontier scope wont dial up past 5 MIL
- Thread starter BTP
- Start date
Here is what I use on all my air rifles .(except the ones with the 35mm. Tubes . They don't make them yet for the bigger scopes ) These give you the ability to get all of the adjustment out if your scope . It looks like the scope you have should have 19 mil of adjustment so if you set these up correctly you should be able to use about 17 mil of adjustment. You will need to reset your zero stop one you have it all done .

Dan, Those Eaglevision mounts are for guns with Picatinny rails.
The Redwolf and Safari have 11mm rails so he is going to need 11mm rings such as...

These are both elevation and windage adjustable.
Thats IF he is running out of elevation adjustment with his scope which specs out at 15 or 19mil elevation that equates to roughly 53.99 or 68.39 inches of travel depending on which specific 5-25x56 model his is. Since I don't own either of those Frontiers I can't comment other than disengaging the zero stop or replace the turret cam so there's no limit to only 5 mil.

If you have FX No Limits mounts you just raise the rear scope ring a little that will get you on target even if your scope zero stop can't be changed and limited to only 5mil.
