How To Get On Without Ao

[Andy_c 210]

Ive just recieved my new panorama from the airgun centre I thought it came with ao when I emailed the guy he said it did in half mildot but they have non ao the picture at 10x at 25yrds is appalling I've always had ao on all my other scopes

Re calibrate it

Sorry to be a tool but how do I do that?

Cheers Andy

How to reparallax a scope

Scopes, without PA adjustment, are generally supplied by the manufacturers with the parallax set to 100 yards (50 yards in the case of some rimfire scopes). This is too far for typical airgun use. Ideally for hunting parallax should be about 30 ~ 35 yards. Shorter still for hunter field target shooting around 25 yards being ideal.

Fortunately for us most scopes are easy to re-parallax. Here’s how to do it…

First set out a target at the desired parallax range. Then remove the end ring on the object lens of the scope. Most will loosen with a firm hand grip, you may have to use a strap tool to loosen the very tight ones. After removing the end ring you will find a threaded inner tube carrying the end lens of the scope. Some can be rotated with finger pressure others will need a flat blade across the two slots in the threaded tube to turn it. I find a steel rule ideal. Now unscrew the threaded lens carrier (moving the lens further out) to reduce the parallax distance. Unscrew slowly till the target, you previously laid out, comes into sharp focus. Fortunately for us the point of minimum parallax error is also coincidence with the sharpest focus at that range.

Now the tricky bit, you have to replace and tighten the scope end ring without disturbing the position of the now adjusted inner threaded lens carrier. It may be necessary to use something to locate into one or both of the slots in the inner threaded part to stop it turning as you tighten the end ring. Be careful! One slip and you could damage the end lens permanently if you use a metal tool to stop the lens carrier rotating.

Once the end ring is tight again. That’s it, you have re-parallaxed your scope.

Thanks for the info I may try this on a cheaper scope to start with I don't want to break my brand new en thanks again

Beware, you may lose the gas if you open it

thanks for the heads up

Change the magnification on the scope, at shorter ranges you wont need as much mag. I have a panorama on my R10 with no AO and have no problems on say 6/8 mag up to 30 yrds. Past that its fine on 12 if i need it up to 60/70 yrds.

[Andy_c 210]

Yea that's a good point but I do like the mag up high I think il send it back swap it

I remember when I tried to do this on a scope, I was f*$k off big time when the gas escaped.

 

Send it back and swap it mate
