So I got this scope for my first gun ever a Ruger American 22lr. I'm all happy with it. But I found something weird.
I was using the head wobbling technique to verify the parallax - while rifle is absolute stationary, move your head while looking into the scope. I figured if the parallax nob is set too close, target moves to opposite direction; parallax nob set too far, target moves to same direction of head movement. While head movement doesn't affect cross hair - target positioning then it's at the correct distance.
That's where I found it bizarre. The parallax is eliminated when the nob is set at 35 yards for 25 m target, and 70 yards for 50 m target. While 54 yards = 50 meters, it seems the parallax nob is 1.4x to the actual distance.
At first I think I was not doing it right 'coz I'm quite a rookie. But then I got another Bushnell (trophy xtreme 6-24x50mm) for my 223 and the marking on that one is right on point, confirmed by both shooting result and head-wobbling test.
Now I can only conclude that the parallax nob marking on the rimfire is off. Or am I missing something? Similar experience anyone?
