Focus Problems Past 5X Mag?

[DTS01 23]

hi guys

 

im using a hawke panorama EV 3-9x40 mildot scope with illuminated reticle on my BSA R10, and i find i have trouble focussing once i push the magnification past about 5x

 

it seems any more maginification my eyes seems to want to focus on EITHER the reticle or the target - never both.

 

Up to 5x its perfectly clear and my grouping is good at 30yards

 

i have set the reticle focus correctly by glancing at it and looking away and adjusting etc but it just seems to fall down a little at 6x plus.

 

any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

Have you tried adjusting the objective lens? You know the big one at the front?

It isn't adjustable. I don't think.....

I had the same issue and found that the lighter it was the better the dual focus or if you lamped again it helped.

you will find that these are parallax set to about 100 yds so on high mag at shorter ranges you can get the effect your getting . there is a way off adjusting these you remove the front cover ring , set your mag to your desired mag then look in the front you will see a ring with 2 slots adjust this either in or out to get your focus for your desired range say 30yds.

Ah gotcha. I might try that if I can't get on with it

 

Thanks
