Got one of these here Hawke scopes. I can't remember when I bought it but only tried it out recently. Seems a nice piece of kit.
But I cannot seem to be able to adjust the parallax using the normal method of adjusting the objective lense. The ring that carries the lense has a lip which prevents a normal lense adjuster tool from getting at it, and I am not sure how to turn it.
Any ideas? I am quite cheesed off with it, it is not focussing down to 25 yards.
You can see one of the notches in the lense carrier but I can’t get at it except at an oblique angle which won’t work.

I've got the same model and had the same problem. From memory, I wound the entire front carrier ring forward and measured the gap I had from the ring to the main body. I then cut some ptfe sheet into a spacer to fill the void made by winding the ring forward. I tidied it up with a wind of black electricians tape and then put a flip up cap over it.

Ah, ok I did think about doing similar, just thought there was a trick I’d missed. Probably best to do as you say and avoid doing anything that might damage the lense. Thanks.Originally Posted by CapitalBee

i did a similar thing on by bushnell elite 3200 10x40. Couldn't shift it, so wound the whole end out, used a tight fitting o-ring, niped it down, and added a butler creek flip-up to cover the joint. Won a lot of springer HFT comps with it setup like that, so plenty rigid enough.
Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

Thing is there are notches in the lense carrier, I guess they must have a special tool at the factory in China. I could try to make something up but the actual front end was on so tight I don’t even want to try.
Mostly this has made me appreciate my old 2-7x32AO Tasco scope.

Perhaps the answer would be to swap the fixed focus for one of their 2-7x32 AO models that focus down to 5 yds

Yes maybe selling it is the fix I am after. Nice reticle though.Perhaps the answer would be to swap the fixed focus for one of their 2-7x32 AO models that focus down to 5 yds
