[QUOTE="Broz, post: 581718, member: 7503"] You use the focus ring on the eye piece to focus so the[B] reticle / cosshairs[/B] are sharp. This is best done while looking at a clear sky with no objects in view. Then once on target , use the side paralax knob to adjust out paralax. This is done by setting the rifle solid on bags or another rest, then move your head up and down or side to side while watching the target picture, but do not move the rifle. Turn the side paralax knob until their is no movement of the cross haires while your head moves. At this point you have ajusted out, or removed all paralax at that distance. Also, if there are numbers on your paralax knob, ignore them. They are seldom right and only put there to confuse you, like when Leupold wrote "Focus" on the side knob, it is best used to remove paralax not a focus. Jeff [/QUOTE]
