It can be checked easily but please share their response.
How do you like it? I’m thinking of getting one for mine, Is the reticl true at max mag or at 10x?
I emailed Hawke about calibration of reticle on this scope. I want to know for sure if it’s calibrated at x7 or x10
Why did I look at this post??
I dont need a Leshiy. I dont. I really dont.
Damn that thing is pretty though.
Not sure how true it is but it says that its calibrated for x7 power on this scope. I really like the scope!

Scope showed up today.
mateo, that is a great question, thanks for asking it. The reason one would not fill to 300 BAR capacity is efficiency. I always get the question: “what’s the shot count?” I understand that shot count may be a concern if you have a large pest population and you are going to rip out 500 rounds in a day. The more important question, in my opinion, is what is the gun’s efficiency, in other words, how many joules/CC does the gun produce?
Out of all the weapons, I have tested the EDgun often the most efficient; it provides around 8-9 joules/cc. A properly tuned EDgun regulator may even produce 9.5-10 joules /cc. On every brand airgun, I have ever tested a 300 bar fill makes the gun very inefficient. The regulator has to hold back a lot of pounds per square inch; this makes the gun use more CC/Joule at the top end, thus making the gun less efficient.
Russian duralumin is the best in the world. It has not been watered down with constant recycling. Ed is lucky in the fact that Russia has the best raw materials available. The EDgun has always been capable of a 300 bar fill; it is just that Ed knew it wasn’t efficient. But as the market has changed, and other makers begin telling their customers that they could fill with 300 bars the EDgun decided to offer it as well.
Here is an example of the inefficiency:

Fantastic thank you!

Here is an example of the inefficiency:
Being new to pcp’s is there any reason you only fill to 230 bar? How many usable shots would you expect from a full 300bar?
Truly are a great bit of kit been very impressed with mine up to now you won’t be disappointed Once you get a scope onboard :biggrinn:
Ah, ok. Looks good. Would like to see some groups when you get your scope
I do not, but it is marked 110 on regulator itself and by looking at the string I concur that it is indeed 110 bar.
Do you have a reg tester for it?
Regulator is set at 110 Bar.
Adjusted speed to 830 fps with 10.3gr JSB Exact Heavy.
Fill up to 230 bar. Here is a shot string. About 24 usable shots.
834 – 230 bar
833
828
829
829 – 205 bar
829
832
830
831
828 – 175 bar
829
827
830
827
831 – 145 bar
830
831
834
828
831 – 120 bar
833
822 – 110 bar
809
792
681 – 95 bar
From shot 1 to shot 21 there is only 7fps spread.
Here is some graphs for more visual. 1-25, 1-24 and 1-22

As I suspected it is 10x calibrated reticle. So adjustments need to be made during calculations. But Strelok App will make it easy.
Quote from Hawke customer service.
“this model scope is calibrated as a true MilDot @ 10x so you will need to do the calculation to use for ranging.”
