Parallax Problem

[subsonicnat]

As stated, cannot get rid of moving cross hairs.

Leoupold scope. 3.5 x 10 40 ..... Long Range..

I am fearing it is too much for an Air Rifle, Needs loads of distance to get Clarity, even with the side parallax adjustment..

Any idea's..

If it s a scope designed for a .22LR and upwards, you'll almost certainly find it's minimum parallax is set at around 100 yards - maybe a little less.

 

You can re-parallax some scopes (many of the probably, with varying degrees of ease) but it involves removing the front lens and winding it outwards towards the muzzle. In all honesty, if it's a decent quality scope you'll reduce it's value by altering it. Probably much easier to go and drop 60 quid on a reasonable air-rifle scope and be done with it.

Thanks for Reply mate.

Yes it seems it will only come in at about 80 yards,So you probaly right.

Real shame as it has Sniper Type adjusters on it, Gutted.

All is not lost. If you really like the scope, you can alter that default PX, to something a little more convenient for short range air-rifling... I did a quick google for "how to re parallax a leupold scope" and found quite a few lads on the airgun BBS discussing how to do it, reporting success.

 

Hopefully, a link is acceptable to post... Mods feel free to remove the link if this is verboten.

Hi Flynn., Thanks for that mate..

It All sounds out of my field, looks like a trip to the shop or hope Father Christmas brings one, have put out my letter to him anyway.lol.

Thank you very much for the info, but would be gutted if it Lost the gas, it would ruin it..

Think it will go back in the box after Christmas, and look at other options, Trouble was my eldest lad bought it for me two years ago, and I don`t think I can even sell it, sentimental me.. Ah well..
