I'm out of luck until strelok updates their data. I have the new Hawke FFP and it's not in their data base yet.
I guess I gotta do it the old fashioned way.

Strelok Pro use with air guns

Just find a reticle that somewhat matches and you should be good. Won't look the same but should work the same.
I don't know what your reticle looks like, but the Athlon Optics APMR reticle might be worth looking at. It's a Mil reticle.

I have the Hawke Sidewinder 6-25X56 FFP in Mils and it is in mine. Are you using a different scope? I did not see the 4-16.

I have the 6-24x56 FFP. (Not sure about "25")I was looking for it on my app but I may have missed it?
I'll look again when I get home tonight.

Just type Hawke in search and you will find at the bottom of the list. They made that ”25” special for me. I would stay in metric till he fixes the app.

Strelok was just updated today. The update fixed the issue with close targets with slow velocity from airguns with imperial units with one small exception. When you hit calculate the first time it will give incorrect data. Hit it again, and it will be correct

Anyone using a bluetooth rangefinder with it? My Anemometer isn't compatible anymore.... (kestrel)

what is the height of the scope rings figure your using? Default is 2" - I forgot how to get the measurement. Using the FX no limit rings on my Impact X .30

I used 2.95" that I measured on my Impact. The (diameter of the tube + the width of the barrel)/2 + the distance between. I measured everything with calipers. Probably overkill. I'm pretty sure you can eyeball it with a tape measure and it won't make that much of a difference at a distance. 50 yards = 2.95" - 3.1 clicks, 3.0" - 3.0 clicks. It will make a more of a difference up close.

Use tinfoil with a pinhole over the objective, so you can see and aim at a cross drawn on paper at or near point blank. Measure the distance between the center of the cross and pellet hole - that'll be your scope height.
Works very well especially with adjustable mounts where it errors in direct measurement are hard to avoid.

One time I used this tinfoil measurement with the left overs from making the hat..
I noticed that there is (still) quite a lot of parallax error or something else going on, since I made 3 shots which all landed separate. Or it is the fact that I am such a lousy shot that making a group at 50cm-1m is hard enough. (3-4 feet)
Maybe a longer distance would help?
As a side note, the scope height should be measured at the objective bell. This is where the light comes in = your eyeball "moves" here when looking through a scope.

Scope height should really be the distance between the optical center line and the tip of your barrel as that point is the minimum between the two and then from there the projectile is no longer moving perfectly straight but rather dropping.
That's the reason that a measurement at the objective is more accurate, especially with adjustable mounts. The trouble with direct measurements is they don't take the internal adjustment into account.
Yup, still the potential for parallax to get you with the tinfoil method I suppose.i haven't found it a problem but no method is perfect I guess

What do they mean by off set ? I'm lost I just got them to put on the new centerpoint moa reticle

Oh My God!!! I just discovered how to download and use Strelok on my phone! This is absolutely fantastic! It even has the exact reticle for my Sightron scope! Man I am loving this new toy... can't wait to use it with my range finder! WOOHOO! I have heard of this but thought it was only for powder burner rifles.
P.S. Thanks Macros for the tutorial on finding the true scope height.

Chuck strelok beats the breaks off chairgun. Glad you found it and like it. I think if more people from the airgun community would give strelok a chance and learn how to use all its features they would switch from chairgun.
