Strelok I beleive isn’t downloadable any more because it’s a Russian app. Apple and Google stopped offering it after the Ukraine attack.

Too bad, unfortunate that an innocent developer gets hurt and nothing changes.

@pan60 give me a ring or text tomorrow, I can give you some pointers in the ballistics app.

will do!

i tried to find a place to get Strelok but no luck.
i did download Chairgun not sure because there was a couple? i dont mind buying buy i dont want to do a subscription, the one i got i think is free. at least it is so far?
lots of questions i dont have the answers to.
i guess i will try to work through some of these maybe tomorrow. i know i will have questions. : )

thanks all!!!

I totally agree about Strelok not being available to download anymore. What a shame. I thought there would be a work around by now.

For anyone who uses Facebook, Igor the Strelok owner has a excellent and very helpful page. Just search for Strelok on Facebook.

I'm still using Strelok, the latest version.

This looks promising. Although I already have it installed in 2 of my phones (Android), this is some good news for new users.

I have been struggling to get this on my S23 , so I requested to join the group to try and get a version of it.

been out shooting a bit today.
as mentioned i have the Hawke airmax 6-24x50 SF scope and AoA said the rings are FX No Limit scope rings. i ordered the hawke rings to replace these but now i have a concern with adjustment.
i had to raise the front of the scope to get this to zero at 25 yards but with the new hawke rings that is going to be a option. should i have ordered some MOA adjustiable rings?
seems like this scope would have more adjusment then it does. i am a bit concerned this scope was a mistake on my part.

So the way Tom designed/engineered the offset moa rail you probably wouldn't need any additional moa adjustment in the rings. I discovered the same thing that you are finding in that with the addition of a 20 moa scope mount, the scope was pitched down too much. The benefit with the adjustable FX rings on the Evol is that you are able to precisely set ring height so the scope is optically centered at your desired target range.

yea they allow me to get the scope adjusted but the way they are made theydont allow the scopes side wheel to go on all the way.
sounds like i ordered the wrong rings as i did not order the adustable rings : ( sucks lol i think i might as well just order some others..
so its not a issue of the scope not having enough adjustment?

 

[Airgun-hobbyist]

Edited... I see what you mean now, with the inside of the wheel touching the side of the ring's flange. New rings for that side wheel scope may be tricky to find, as most scopes have some type of wider flange portion here for bolting the halves together.

 

[pan60]

yes i have them all the way down
so the magazines are a bit of a pain in the azz to get in.
does the magazines best drop in from the top or come in on the side?
would not bother me if the scope was higher.

I load magazine's from the side, rolling them into place because all of my scopes fit fairly tight to the top of the magazine. I'd rather have the scope low on the gun for my cheek weld/hold.

Check out these Monstrom offset mounts. I use them on my Benjamin SAM because of the short scope and limited space to mount it to clear the magazine. You'd be able to clear that wheel and mount them on both portions of the Evol's picatinny rail.

I think the issue is the fx rings aren't cut in half so the top of the ring where the screws go are angled outwards so it touches. With 25moa on the rail you shouldn't have an issue with scopes adjustment range.

exactly the issue.
well i did have to angle the scpoe up with the FX rings. with the scope adjustment all the way down at 25 yards it was hit 12 to 14 inches high.
i ordered the other rings before i took it out to shoot or i would have caught it. as soon as i seen the issue with the wheel i called AoA and after a chat about eye relif and a couple other issues we concluding the hawke rings should solve the issue, their scope their rings. so thats what i ordered.
after shooting i can see i will have to get the front of the scope up.
my assumption is the scope just lacks adjustment?

 

[pan60]

well i set up my 25 yards to let the wife practive her pumkin caring and the .30 cal EVOL just detroyed the little mellon first shot. LOL i told her she will jus have to go straight to the pumkin. raining here today so maybe tomorrow.

you guys and gals get those pumkins out.

Strelok you are still able to get...just use a VPN and your are golden.

I zero mine at 50 yards and have plenty of movement for 100 yards and further, as well as close range work. Just pick something you are comfortable with and go with it.
