    For anyone interested, Hawke have a new Ballistic App to compliment their other apps, namely Chairgun (also great on the laptop) and Hawke BRC

    The main difference with this is that it covers a lot of calibers compared to their other apps and has 22lr, hmr,223rem, etc.

    Good selection of Hawke reticles too and although I have only been playing with it a few days, it looks pretty well put together.

    Worth a try anyway, their other apps are quite good for free apps.

    Fair play to Hawke for putting some time into developing free apps for what has been traditionally seen as the budget end of the market.

    Looks good but I think I'll stick with Strelok Pro.

    Spent a while playing with this this morning - It's very handy for those of us using Hawke scopes alright.

    SFP reticle representations and incline calculator built in are crackin' features - the former is only in the paid version of strolok I believe and I don't think the latter is in there at all.

    Strolok will still be my go to for non-Hawke glass, but this is a crackin' app if you're using the complimentary hardware.

    Downloaded it yesterday for a look. Seems easy to use. Have a hawke scope on the 22 so I'll try it out and see how it goes.
