Hik Thunder 3.0 Add on - Help

[fordy1967]

Hello, trying to get my simple brain that’s located in my head, sometimes think it’s in my backside though. When you zero your glass scope, you have to zero, or align the Thunder 3.0, don’t get why, but that’s a topic for another day. My question is:

I cleaned the barrel of my HMR, and it was shooting 20mm to the left through my glass scope, so glass scope re-zeroed. Do I have to realign the Thunder now, or is it still aligned to the glass scope, I think it’s possible still aligned as once it’s clipped on it’s aligned?

If my experience with the Thunder 3.0 is anything to go by then yes you will have to recalibrate it.

The alignment of your glass riflescope does not change anything in your clip-on.

If your Thunder 3.0 is correctly calibrated, POI will be the same as when you are shooting only with glass.

Simply do the test.
Shot a group without clip-on and then another one with clip-on.
If there is a difference, you should align clip-on.
Now, when your clip-on is aligned/calibrated, any change in glass scope click values should correspond also in POI when shooting with clip-on.

Cheers

Sorry, for my simple brain, once it has been set up initially, it should always be aligned even if the glass scope loses zero and has to be adjusted, or if the glass scopes zero changes, then the Thunder will need changing?

When your clip-on is correctly calibrated, which should be done in factory, but most of the times, user will have to do the first time on the range, then you can use it no matter what you are doing with your glass scope.

In fact, you should be able to use it on more glass scopes, with correct adaptor on the objective.

HIKMICRO THUNDER 3.0 is well engineered and I have never heard about any problems with it.

Just for the sake of your self-confidence.
When you re-zero glass scope, put on clip-on and take a confirmation shot. It is always better that way.
But from technical perspective, you should not have any problems.

What kind of adaptor are you using?

You should not have any problems.
Just do the test firing and please report your findings.

The Thunder didn’t need any adjustment, even though I changed mounts. Had to re zero the glass scope, popped on the Thunder and it was spot on. Weirdly, I have the exact same scope on my 223 as I do on my 17HMR, both the adjustments of x & y on the Thunder are exactly the same at least if I select the wrong profile it won’t matter!
