[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 888533, member: 51650"] MikeCr P.S. to last post. First adjustable objective scope I bought was the original Weaver T 16. Back when they only made a T 16 and no other target scopes. There are no range marks on the objective turret, only a vernier scale. You have to adjust it until it eliminates the parallax. The procedure is: set the objective with the rifle sandbagged well. Without contact with the rifle, move your eye side to side and see if the cross hairs move relative to the target. Adjust the side focus/ objective turret as necessary until side to side movement of your eyes does not change the cross hairs position on the target. It remains fixed relative to the target. If you must adjust the ocular turret to refocus the scope then do so because the setting for parallax is correct and the scope is unfocused. Friend Ed's Vortex is a side focus and I was surprised the manufacturers assume the range settings are spot on. It was not but we penciled a table with the correct settings out to 300 yards. Not that I know Diddley or his brother, Squat.... [/QUOTE]
