300 yards = 3/4” (300m = 22mm).
To unlock the turrets, rotate the lock (located on the
top of the turrets) anti-clockwise. Rotate the lock
clockwise to lock the turrets into position.
The turrets can be reset once the riflescope has been
zeroed to make future adjustment easier. Locate the
allen key and loosen the three screws on the selected
turret. The turret can now be rotated to zero
without making any adjustments. When the turret is
in position, use the allen key to retighten the screws
(be careful not to over tighten).
pre-zeroing
Pre-zero sighting can be done either visually or with
a bore sighting collimator. Bore sighting collimators
such as the Hawke Shot Saver are the best way to
pre-zero. If a Bore sighting collimator is not available,
it is recommended to pre-zero visually.
1. With the firearm in a steady rest position open the
action of the firearm and look along the bore to a
predetermined target (at approximately 50 yds).
2. Scopes fitted with an adjustable objective or side
focus should be adjusted to the 50 yds position. Set a
variable power scope to mid-power.
3. Remove the caps from the windage and elevation

oculAr lens AdjustMent
All Hawke riflescopes are fitted with an adjustable
ocular focus. To focus your eye characteristics to the
riflescope, giving a crystal clear picture of the reticle,
carry out the following adjustment.
1. Hold the scope about three or four inches from
your eye and look through the eye piece at a blank,
flatly lit, bright area such as a wall or open sky.
2. If the reticle is not sharply defined instantly, turn
the eyepiece (either direction) a few turns. Quickly
glance through the scope again. If the focus has
improved, but is still not perfect, continue focusing.
3. If the focus became worse, turn it the opposite
direction.
WArning: Never look at the sun with a riflescope, it
may permanently damage your eyes.
turret AdjustMent
Each click of adjustment is measured in MOA (minutes
of angle) on the target. 1 click = ¼ MOA. ¼ MOA =
1/4” at 100 yards.
Therefore at different ranges, each click of adjustment
changes: 50 yards = 1/8” (50m = 4mm), 100 yards =
1/4” (100m = 7mm), 200 yards = 1/2” (200m = 15mm),
