Swarovski Hibicht 4x16x50 help

[crowsnest2002]

I have this scope and was going to mount it and then I saw this. See attached photo. Someone help me with this and rationalize how I can use it effectively? I don't do metric.

You have both Imperial & Metric values to choose from:
0.18" per click at 100-yds
or
5mm per click at 100-meters (which is 109-yds)
What's the problem?

Basically it doesn't fall under the common adjustment steps used today of 1/4 moa or 0.1 mrad per click. Therefore you have to calculate how many clicks you need given your drop chart and the ratio on the dial.

If I didn't like what you have, I would connect Swarovski Customer Service and inquire about having it changed.

Ballistic solvers/programs typically have "Turret Adjustment Values" that need Input, to compute solutions accurate, to the actual scope values. Many scopes, even if advertised say 1/4-MOA, are not spot on values when tracking tested, and need adjusted values inputted for the solvers/programs to compute accurate ballistic solutions.

Just my 2-cents, to your question.

I might like into this. I will see how much they want for a conversion. I like the scope and reticle, just not the turrets. It is 30mm tube as well and 2nd focal I believe.

It will be interesting to know what if anything Swarovski offers. If nothing, maybe there are 3rd party scope services available to switch it over to MOA or Mrad.

I emailed them because they are closed. Funny, the automatic response was in 2 languages. Thanks for the thoughts everyone.

Dear Crowsnest2002 , i was honest with swarovski customer service for a Swarovski scope. I think it was a 4x12 x 40mm. I forgot the mans name for customer service. I mentioned to him some were bought from gun dealers that are demo's. I said I don't kno, sir. I will pay for this , the seals are bad, looks like dust storm. I mailed it off ,
and in 4 or 5 days he called or emailed me, brain poot, I dont remember. This will be covered , the scope is 20 something years old . I didn't kno I had it this long. This my first return to swarovski, for repair. I love the Swarovski's clarity . The best Swarovski to me is the Swarovski 3 x 9 x 36 .
Crow, I hope this helps, I have the number. Send me your phone number in a p.m. please, and I will send you Swarovski's number. Buck, in n.c.

From swarovski.

Unfortunately it is not possible to change the turret to MOA system. See enclosed technical data.

Let's attach it as a usable file people can actually see.
