On the sample target, the center of the group is two inches
low and three inches right. Assuming you’re sighting in at 100
yards. You should make a 2-MOA adjustment up, and a 3-MOA
adjustment left. Your next three shot group should be very
close to the center of the target. To learn about making final
adjustments, proceed to the upcoming section on windage and
elevation adjustments. The parallax adjustment can be located either at the objective
end of the scope or on the side of the adjustment turret housing.
The adjustment moves a lens within the scope causing the tar-
get image and the reticle to fall on the same optical plane. This
ensures optimal accuracy at the distance of the target.
To eliminate parallax in adjustable objective and long range
(side focus) scopes,
Follow these steps:
1. The reticle should be clear (focused) before adjusting the
parallax. If it is not, follow the instructions under “Focusing
the Reticle.” See page 8.
2. With the firearm in a stable position, look through the scope,
concentrating on the center aiming point of the reticle.
3. Move your head slightly up and down while turning side
parallax or adjustable objective ring until the reticle does not
move in relation to the target. Using the numbers on the
adjustable objective ring, you can get your parallax adjust
ments close to the proper setting before assuming a shooting
position.
NOTE: Settings may vary slightly per individual preference, air
temperature, and atmospheric conditions.
