possible scope problem

[fry 209]

hi all on my 410 i have an fx scope i zero it and put pellet on pellet at 30 yards but if i turn the magnification past 6-7 the view is blurred its not the end of the world as 6-7 is ample for the range i shoot at but i was wondering if any one had experienced this or had a fix for it or knew the cause? its been like it from day one an aint got worse. any ideas?

o yeah and when i say day one the lot was second hand when i got it.

you need to re-parralax it , if you unscrew the ring at the end of the objective and put the the scope on full mag point it at your maximum shooting distance and turn the glass either clockwise or anti untill picture becomes clear then screw the ring back on , be carefull though as it might move the glass when screwing back on.

 

hope this helps.

well i have tried but cant undo any thing on the end of the scope if you look inside the objective end there is notches do you need some kind of tool to undo it and also there are 2 sets of notchces which one undoes the ring?

It sounds like a Mag problem , not a re-paralaxing one to me . Personally i would give the manufacturer a ring as they may well do it for you . It would save you the hassle , and to me it sounds like your messing with the wrong end .

HI Fry,

 

This problem is very common on none AO scopes as the scope isn’t really set up for close range shooting on a higher mag.

 

As has already been said you will defo need to re parallax your objective lens.

 

I have done it lots before and its easy to do.

 

I made my own tool to undue the locking ring out of a old metal coat hanger that i files down to size.

 

You will also be able to go to any gun gunsmiths and get it loosened for nothing at all.

 

The whole process once loosened takes about 30 seconds mate.

 

Nothing wrong with the scope what so ever.

 

If i was near you now while im in the UK i would try and get up and fix it for you bud.

Where abouts in somerset are you mate ?

Hi fry is it a parallax scope so you can adjust for different ranges. ?

 

Just wondered with you saying it's ok if you wind down to 50

 

If so the reason it's goin blurr is because you need to adjust the pa until the picture comes clear this gives you the yardage of your target

 

Hope this helps atb rob

to reparalex it do you just need to get the bottm most ring to turn? or do you loosen it an turn the lense? because i could probably knock up something to turn it.

zini mate i have had a close look with me glasses on and thought about it there are 2 rings with notches in there would the one furthest away from the lense be the locking one and the one closest the one you turn to adjust the lense? sorry for my lack of knowledge but i dont wanna balls it up
