[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 3075348, member: 46202"] That's awesome feedback. Hopefully I can shed some more light on what you were experiencing. Because the spotting scopes only have a focus knob, they are usually do not have a Parallax adjustment. Focusing is not the same as Parallax. So when you adjust your parallax you are looking for the mirage before your target... so in your case you were actually able to see the mirage because the spotter was not as powerful, so you couldn't wash out the mirage that is there, just not super visible. Once you zoom into a target you pretty much only see the mirage that's closets to your target. With a rifle scope to look for mirage you adjust your parallax from your position all the way to the target, that gives you the most accurate wind and mirage reading. Don't forget that after the wind tops about 8mph Mirage all looks the same and "lays over" [/QUOTE]
