Scope height when scope is canted
If you have adjustable mounts or a 20moa mount, how do you measure scope height? The front of the scope is closer to the barrel than the back end

can i use this method with Strelock?? if yes,,, how??
In strelok there’s only scope height
guys,

The current version of Chairgun have both the scope height and scope base. But one thing i’ve noticed is the scope height changes is effecting the poi very easily and the scope base doesn’t. Btw, I never used the scope base feature before
Wow thats a new info. Definitely have to try this.
In strelok itself its mentioned G1 as outdated. So, for Airgunners it should be always GA
Cricket, the reason why I measure from the center of the windage turret is because the pin/screw that adjusts the erector tube (which holds the reticle) horizontally is located at or very close to the front of the erector tube. Moreover, the pin also contacts the center of the erector tube. So, on my Cricket I measure from there to directly below on the center of the barrel, not to the muzzle. Personally, doing it this way gets me as close as possible to precise values when I also enter the scope base measurement, which I obtain from measuring the distance from the windage turret to the muzzle.
If you’ve ever unscrewed the turrets of a scope you’ll see that they basically have a pin/screw on their axis that moves the erector tube by pushing and retracting it via the center of it.
Interesting, ln a cricket, should I measure from the front objective to the muzzle? That is to say the lens to the muzzle in order to get the exact number?
The current version of Chairgun now has “scope base” as a parameter. Scope base is the distance from the scope to the muzzle of the barrel–not the end cap of your shroud (if you use one). If a value is entered here, you don’t need to obtain the measurement by using the method in the article. The older version of Chairgun did not have this, thus the method would need to be used. So, with the current Chairgun version, if you measure your scope height the traditional way (In my case I measure the distance from the center of the windage turret to the axis of the barrel) then enter the measurement from the erector tube to the muzzle into the scope base parameter the value should be the same as (or be an even more precise number) the one you get using the method in the article. Chairgun would take that parameter and automatically factor it in when generating click and POI numbers and other ballistic information.
WOW am I glad I read this thread! I’m going to try this on my Vulcan/Hawke combo and my Crickets… Seeing the pics posted in that article sure makes sense to me, and since it originated from the Chairgun guru, it is likely spot on (pun intended)… :8:
Thanks for posting and sharing!
I own Edgun scopes 10X44 …. fixed power. ..how can i treat with it??
Holy crap, that is a very interesting article. I just ordered a new scope and the minimum parallax is 22m or so, but it is a 4,5-30 so at 4,5 power maybe I can get close enough
if not, will another scope zeroed at the same, using same mounts on same position provide similar results??? just thinking.
pd: sorry for my english, youtube is teaching me as fast as it can lol.

Hemn, here you can find out what magnification your scope is true at, just print one out with correct distance and make sure you got the right format (measure the line at the bottom

Maybe if you use all of the functions in chairgun you can simply adjust in strelok to match chairgun. Maybe if you adjust the scope height in strelok eventually the numbers will match
