Adjustment of parallax

[dave dog]

Dose any one know how to adjust the front parallpax ring on fixed parallax scope. Which way you have have to turn it, or am i better to leave it alone. As it will going onto 22.250 rifle.

You need to remove the locking ring, which is also the cosmetic "finish" to the end of the scope. Sometimes this is locked down pretty tight, but I found I got more grip with a rubber glove, and that won't mark it at all.

 

Then you should see the front lens is held in a carrier with two diametrically opposed slots in it. Carefully screw this in or out to achieve focus where you need it, and then replace the ring.

you leave it alone. Fixed parallax means there is no adjustment that you can do on it without pulling the scope apart and breaking the seals (thus letting in air, not inert gas).

 

Thanks

Good point Rick, I guess it kind of depends on the scope though as not all are gas filled nor expensive to have a play with.
