Zoom

[Karl Daw 14]

Guys just a quick one when you have adjusted your scope and shoot and its all zeroed,and all bang on,if you then adjust the zoom and stan all at the same distance its higher or lower does this happen on your scopes ?

 

If it does should you always leave it in one position on the zoom?

I use Hawke scopes and never have to adjust focus...just parallax

So the parallax is the one at the front of the scope and the zoom is the one near your eye what makes things a lot larger isn't it ?

[AirgunGuy 362]

Yip...parallax at the front. You simply adjust it to the distance you're shooting at and off you go. You can fine tune with focus if the image isn't completely clear but i never have to with my scopes. Other scopes may differ

Try it and see how you go. I only adjust parallax on my scopes.

 

There's more experienced than me on here so you may get a more in depth reply

[AirgunGuy 362]

Ok mate. Let us know how you get on

[ghillies 209]

some move..some dont. (bad uns go off zero alltogether).

 

one type the dots space changes the other the dots always stay in the same place.

 

hows that? lol..

The zero point will not change although it pays to zero your gun using the highest mag to get the most precise zero possible. If you have a mildot reticle, the mildots will change on different magnification and thus you will have to find out your aim points for different magnification settings at different ranges.

This is why I switched over to fixed mag and cut out all the faffing around !

 

 

Do your self a favour and get your self a nice and compact Leupold 6 x 42 scope, they've got crystal clear glass and work great in low light conditions.

Most lads find that they tend to stick to one magnification after awhile any way.

Only if you have a second focal plane scope. Get a first focal plane scope and the mil readings remain true at all mags
