![]() ![]() It seems like the turrets must adjust the angular direction/axis of the entire erector and reticle lens assembly.am I off on that?Īnd I do not mean to diverge from the objective of this thread, but if I can get some answers to these long-held curiosities regarding the mechanical operation of a scope I think it will help me understand the impact of the issue and to evaluate (on my own) whether this issue is something to be concerned about with this scope, and also it will give me confidence in my equipment. Does the reticle lens move or is it something in the erector system? My thought is that it doesn't seem like it would be the reticle lens, because if the reticle lens were the only thing moving then wouldn't the reticle move within the image that I see through the scope? Since the reticle appears to stay in the same spot within the eyebox during adjustment, and the entire image moves instead, this leads me to believe that it is not just the reticle that moves. I am wondering what internal components actually move when I adjust the elevation and windage turrets inside the scope. Thank you for the information, Guns&WhiteWater. If all of these things will be unaffected by this issue then I will not have a problem with it, but if it will have a potential negative impact on its performance then it will make me crazy when I see the offset/asymmetry each time I look through it. I would like to pose this question to you folks who know more about scope internals and function than I do - if the reticle is shifted to the side will this affect accuracy at any distances? Will it affect parallax error in any way, will it affect the accuracy/tracking ability of dialing elevation or windage in any way? From my mental evaluation (keep in mind I don't know a lot about scope internals), I could see this causing a horizontal shift in POI as you shoot to distances other than your zero distance, but correct me if I am wrong. A simple version of a scopes view, created by one of our in-house graphic designers. I'm guessing it has not changed and that I just didn't notice before, because I have never dropped the scope or done anything rough to it. Concentration on the crosshairs should not be too long, as this will cause the reticle to blur. Keep in mind that your primary focus is on the crosshairs and not the target. So either it has moved (not sure if that's even possible?) or I simply didn't notice it before now. For a correct sight picture the intersection of the crosshairs is placed in the center of the desired impact area resulting in a quartered target. ![]() It is amazing to me that I've only recently noticed this after using it for a year because I usually have a good eye for symmetry, straight, parallel, level, square, etc. Step-by-Step Process of Using a Rifle Scope 1. It appears to be shifted 0.5-1.0 mils (depending on magnification level, not sure if that even makes sense for the amount of error to change?) to the right of center. I just went to move the scope to my hunting rifle and noticed that the reticle is not centered in the eyebox, or field of view, when I look through it. I have had the scope for maybe a year and have been using it during that time with no noticeable issues. I have a Bushnell Elite Tactical LRTS 4.5-18x44.
