[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1343254, member: 97050"] Yeah your right, sorry i read it differently on no sleep. [IMG]http://survival-mastery.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Scope-graphic-e1426794061320.jpg[/IMG] the part between 6 and 7, the eye piece, will only adjust the reticle. You look off into the sky and have the scope also facing the sky and you adjust until the reticle becomes crisp and clear. Then you look back to the sky with your naked eyes and wait for them to adjust and then go back to the scope and do it again. Side note, if you shoot a lot, best way to not get headaches . #8, the paralax knob, controls the parallax adjustments (obviously), a situation where the focal plane of the object in the scope is offset from the reticle. If you have parallax, you have an optical illusion. Hence why said reticle is moving around as you move your gaze into the scope. I misspoke about the magnification. I was saying, if it has magnification, its all the same. 1x mag, no paralax. I believe it parallax starts about 6x. 6-infinityx=parallax. 6 being less, 30 being more, so I agree with that. Parallax free scope, doesn't exist. Not really. The ones that are sold as paralax free....lets just say no one is going to hang up the nightforce or steiners that have paralax adjustment for a parallax free scope. If anyone wants to do a experiment to see how being on the same plane works as far as distance and power in regards to parallax, then try this. Put your thumb up, arm straight out in front of you. Close one eye and pretend your thumb is a sight. Move your head from side to side while still looking at your "thumb sight." It should move. Now relax. Go find a wall, repeat the last procedure, but this time do it with your thumb touching the wall. You sight is now on the same plane as the target. [/QUOTE]
