[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1304373, member: 64108"] I think someone is confusing parallax with focus, they are different.....it is not out of focus at any range or power(well maybe if I turn it to 12x at 50 yards, but I don't do that). For instance I was shooting the 5-25x ATACR and when it is in focus there is parallax sometimes, and when the parallax is eliminated the scope is a little blurry. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Focus adjusts the scope to the individual shooter's eye... this is a one time adjustment. (For geezers and wearers of prescription lenses this could be a multiple procedure event if new prescription arrive.) The purpose of this adjustment is to adjust the scope so that the image of the reticle (crosshairs) is properly aligned with the back of the shooters eye. Parallax adjusts the target to the reticle (crosshair). The target image and the reticle must be on the same focal plane within the scope or there is room for apparent movement of the reticle on the target when the shooter'e eye moves (or is positioned differently at the scope).
