jasper65 6 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Been doing some interesting reading on the subject in the January 2011 edition of Airgun world Mag by Jim Tyler. By all accounts to correct Parallax error not only do you adjust the scope to the requied Parallax range, the ocular ring must also be brought into focus. it seems one doesn't go without the other? By just dialing in the Range on the scope adjustment to eliminate Parallax just isn't enough! the focus ring must also be focused at the given Range. Reading through it makes alot of sense. does anyone else use this method? Jasp Quote Link to post

Marksman 934 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Interesting info there Mark. Could explain a lot for a lot of people. I think head position and rifle cant has also a lot to do with it Jasp. Trying to ensure your head is in more or less the same position when looking through the scope hence the invention of the accucover i think Darryl Edited March 29, 2011 by Marksman Quote Link to post

jasper65 6 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I think you're 100% right Sean and Darryl although I always have had a Air rifle I was pretty out of it for a good few years apart from the occasional shot. I got more into the shotguns in the 90's right up to the last few years and must admit when I first picked up a scope gun after a long while I viewed it with both eyes open. these days I generaly think I do suffer a bit with Parallax errors. one minute I'm taking Rabbits on the ground freehand and the next squirrels and Pigeons up the top of trees, I'm not saying this is actually a parallax error but some of the tight positions I get in to get a shot off I'm obviously not mounting the gun the same each shot. its funny as in the past I never suffered but these days due to my own errors I'm somtimes left chaseing zero atb Jasp Quote Link to post
