Resighting of my hawk sidewinder 6-20x scope

[k_h_d]

I had to move my scope on my rail for my Vulcan .25 so i could have space for a camera mount.

i need to resight the scope and gun. Do i site it in at 6.5 magnification at 35 yards or at the 20x magnification?

Isn’t the parallex calibrated for a certain magnification? Does that affect the sites at different magnification. I cant remember from when i did it last year.

You can sight in at any mag power. The only thing is when you do you hold off and stuff like the the reticle values change through all the magnifications.
whar I do is just keep my scope on max magnification (25) for 120yards and under then I go 18 power for 120+ shots.

Thanks for be response. So if using strelok to determine hold over will it be accurate when changing the magnifications in the app. Or do you think where it says calibrates for 20x means I need to sight at 20x?

it doesn' matter what mag. setting you use as long as it' is past the 2nd zero 25 yds should be fine but if your going to mostly shoot at 50 yds then that is what I would zero at, and scope height is vary important to get the program to work properly.

In Strelok there is a place to input the distance and magnification you used to sight in the scope. Then when you shoot at different magnifications, there is a way to modify the data of the magnification used so strelok knows how to calculate the hold over.

I am using strelok pro and there isn't anywhere to put the magnification you used when sighting in, it asked for lowest mag,highest mag and the power the reticle was calibrated at and that would be 20x for the OP.

unless streloc has changed something, but I can't see why it would matter, if your sighted in at 40yds you should still be sight in regardless of power setting.

Yes you're correct. It doesn't change but you can see the difference by sliding the magnification bar.
