possible scope problem

[zini 1,939]

Hi Fry bud,

 

At the end of the objective lens is a ring that goes around the whole edge of the scope, loosen that first mate.

 

Inside the inner of the objective lens is a very thin ring with 2 notches in.

 

You need a tool to turn this locking and parallax ring slowly until your scope is crystal clear on max mag at your furthest shooting range.

 

Once you have done that re tighten up the ring around the end of the objective lens which holds it in place.

 

Job done

Think I'll have a go on the old 3-9x40 that I have.

It goes a little 'milky' when on max mag, but then its a dirt cheap scope (£30) thats now sat on top of a refurbed WestLake B2

Hi Fry

Looking at your scope, you have an adjustable focus front/objective lens. Give this simple test a go.

 

1.Measure out 30 yards or metres, or whatever range you prefer to zero your scope to and set up a target.

 

2. Wind up the magnification ring at the back of the scope to it's maximum mag. You'll probably see the sightpicture of the target is very blurred.

 

3. looking through the scope to the target, turn the front focus ring left or right until the sightpicure on your target at distance becomes pin-sharp and crisp. Look at the range marks on the ring to see what it says. Rangefinders on scopes of this quality are seldom bang on, so don't worry if it's reading 5 or-so yards more than it actually is. Looking beyond that point will start to blur again.

 

4. Wind the Mag down to it's lowest setting and back to it's maximum to see that it zooms ok. Reducing the mag will enable you to see crisp, clear target ranges at closer distances or nearer towards you. If after all this you cannot get a clear, in-focus sightpicture at your zero range, you have a real problem with it . If you aren't familiar with scopes, take it to your gunsmiths mate and he may be able to sort it for you. Hope it works out right for you.
