Hey gents. I just got a 4-16x scope that allows to adjust the parallax. So the the manual states, “Parallax compensation changes neither the focus of the reticle nor the focus of the image; it simply moves the planes at which these two objects are in focus so that they share the same plane. Look through scope and place cross-hair on target. Move your head around without leaving exit pupil. Does the cross hair move or become fuzzy or blurry? If the cross-hair moves or is blurry, adjust side parallax until sight picture is crystal clear.”
Here’s where the newbie confusion comes in. When I was playing w the parallax I didn’t notice a lot of change with the reticle but it did however bring the image I was looking at into focus. I put a post card about 40’ away and it was blurry on 16x until I played w the parallax knob. No I wasn’t turning the “focus” that is on the eyepiece. I also noticed that the image wasn’t as clear at different zooms with the same parallax settings. What gives? I thought the parallax didn’t have anything to do with the image, just whether or not the crosshairs “moved” or were blurry? When I play with mine the difference in image quality is fairly extreme. Here she is.
