Best scope tutorial I’ve seen so far.. simple and clear to understand. Thank you sir.
Wow, thanks!
Good informed video. A lot of videos made on ffp or sfp scopes never seem to mention using parallax. You explained it clearly
Thats awesome, glad it was helpful
Thanks for the video very simply explaned 😊
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
This video was a lifesaver thank you
Glad it was helpful
Perfectly explained
Glad it was helpful!
Always good info.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Thanks for watching
I use both and live them both, I don’t have a reference between FFP or SFP.
Both have their strengths and weaknesses
When a scope has paralax copmensation Form 50 Yards to Infinity, can i shoot at 25 Yards or will it be too blury?
Good question
The numbers typically are not accurate, so just adjust until in focus.
Does the wrong distance settings affect the accuracy massively? I mean, when i zero in my scope at a distance of 20y and shoot for 60y do i have to adjust the scope distance setting or can i shoot with the 20y settings for 60y?
Not too sure that parallax will matter at that distance.
But I still have to use the regular focus adjustment, right?
Do you need the parlex side focus. Or is a scope without fixed alright as well.
Huge advantage for shooting longer distances
I have a wide variety of shooting ranges up to about 50 yd. I get tired of trying to adjust my scope parallax every time I go from something close to something far away. Can you tell me where it would be best just to set it at and leave it so I don't have to continually try to guess how far something is and adjust a parallax?
Not really. Other than where it looks clearest for you.
What distance ranges are you shooting? Closest to furthest?
Thank you for your explanations.
I am in the process of setting up a 308. Howa m1500 20"heavy barrel. I have 2 questions...
I am wondering how using A 20MOA or A 10MOA rail will affect parallax adjustment on my scope, and, which rail would be a better choice at 880 yds max. 6-24x FFP,
with 10-1000, and +(infinite i guess) parallax settings. I am torn between the 2 different MOA rail sizes. I'm thinking I will definitely have to do my own marking on the parallax adjustment.
Wondering what your opinion would be on the rail choice? Thank you in advance.
Great question and thanks for watching.
I honestly don’t believe it will matter, what will matter is being able to reach your desired distance without running out of elevation for your dial.
Regarding the numbers on parallax, disregard them, they are different for everyone, just make your adjustments until you have a clean/clear sight picture
Most optics manufacturers have done away with numbers/yardages on their parallax dial
@OutdoorSolutions Thank you very much. According to the ballistics charts it looks like I would just make it with 10 moa. So I think I'm going with a 20. Hopefully that will give me some flexibility with where I decide for a 0. For parallax , some customized marks to get close and a good home-made-for- load ballistics card should help.Thanks again.
@@fredfried8786 glad that helped
I think I might have purchased the wrong scope, but I think I can return the scope.
Since I’m not hunting so 99% of the time I’m just going to use my high-powered PCP air rifle for target shooting/marksmanship.
People tell me that I should’ve purchased a first focal plan scope instead of a second focal second focal plan scope.
Another expert told me that since I’m shooting no more than 200 yards a second focal scope is fine but of course others disagree. What’s your opinion?
I purchased the Discovery LHD-NV 4-16X44 SFIR SFP. It’s a second focal.
As long as you are happy with it, save your money and keep what you have. Watch our video on shooting with SFP optic.
Ok thanks @@OutdoorSolutions
What would happen if you had your parallax adjustment set on infinite for all distances?
Your zero would not be consistent and your sight picture would be blurry at closer distances.
Jw couldn’t you just clear that with your diopter?
30yrds zero so if i am shoot target at 15yrds then i will need to change parallax yes or no
Just make sure your sight picture is clear.
👍
Since when is $1200 smackers NOT a ton of money? Back your head away from the scope just a bit to be able to see the scope shadow, and use that to show if your eye is centered and when you move your head to better see what the crosshairs are doing.
It’s all relative, compared to what you get for your money.
