[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1234907, member: 54178"] [B]Re: Parallax vs Focus ("focus/focus")[/B] Actually it is: 1. RETICLE FOCUS (ocular ring turned to focus the reticle. Once and DONE!) 2. TARGET FOCUS (side "parallax" knob [I] or [/I]objective focus ring on older, or cheaper scopes. Do this for every shot if you have the time.) 3. ** CENTER YOUR RETICLE WITH A "FRINGE SHADOW" (This insures that the reticle and target are centered so that even if there is a slight amount of parallax it will be negated.) "Fringe Shadow" refers to having a thin, [I]even[/I] "shadow" all the way around the edge of your scope picture. Done by moving back a bit from the scope and therefore slightly out of the eye box.
