Y'all will remember I recently wrote about the Bushnell scope on my Weatherby rifle where the reticle disintegrated.
It got even worse, later that day, and the next time I got the rifle out, the reticle lens had come completely loose & was rolling back & forth in the body of the scope.

| Here's the reticle lens, up against the ocular lens. Double-plus ungood. |
This morning, I mounted the new Nikon Prostaff scope, so now all that's left is to head to the range. It's raining steadily at present, so I'm hoping to head out early tomorrow, when perhaps the Wet Bunny Range won't be quite so wet.

I realize I may have to adjust the fore-and-aft placement once I get to the range, but at least it's a start.

How did you check your eye relief? Sitting, standing or prone? Looks like that scope is FAR forward.
NFO: it's about 1/2 inch farther forward than the old scope. I started out standing, with the new scope in the same location as the old one, then moved it forward until the parallax disappeared. It does offer a nearly 4" eye relief.
I write and maintain a blog which I have entitled “Accordingtothebook” and I’d like to invite you to follow it. I’m your newest follower.
I mounted my new one using the same method the Rev did, and I sighted it in using all the tips, pointers, and advice Old NFO gave me.
I now have plenty of eye relief, no parallax to speak of, and I get HITS with it, which to me, is what it's all about.
drjim, that's what I'm aiming for. Get it? Aiming? Hee hee hee...
Okay, I have too much free time today. Never mind. :)
Cool! Can't wait to hear how goes. :)
