Hi All!
I am hoping again to tap into the 1000's of years of experience & distributed wisdom on this forum.
I am doing pretty well at tightening the groups on my Tikka T3.
I did notice yesterday at Hilltop a small problem that needs solving. I was shooting at 100 meters, so I preset the side mount parallax (Athlon ARES 6-24 x 50 BTR mil) to about 110 yards. 109 yards= 100 meters. The target was in focus and the reticle was no giving me an eyestrain headache so no problems there. However, bobbing my head over the stock showed that parallax was not aligned. I adjusted the parallax until the reticle and target were rock solid. The target was then out of focus. I was closer to 140yards on the parallax dial.
Is this a problem with the scope, my 49 year old eyes, my contacts, or something else altogether? I am near sighted requiring glasses or contacts to see far, and in the past 4 years, if I am wearing contacts, I need reading glasses to see close. Sigh……
