[QUOTE="30BR, post: 1979564, member: 64079"] I believe what you are getting is a parallax issue. Once the crosshairs are focused in the ocular lens, the objective lens is used to focus on the target. However, the markings on the objective for distance are not all that accurate. The focus also sets up the scope for zero parallax error. With the rig held firm, no wobble or movement at all, as in a bench rest set up, you should be able to move your head a bit side to side with no visible shift of the crosshairs on the target. Keep finely adjusting your objective until that is achieved. The perceived movement of the target is due to the lens not being perfectly aligned for the distance, and so the image appears to move. Hard to hit a moving target... [/QUOTE]
