Mud Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I've recently acquired a Schmidt and Bender scope. In the manual it's written that if you know the distance to the target you can just use the corresponding marker on the adjustment dial and that's it. No need to verify and you can use it to estimate range should you not know the target distance. Problem is that on my scope the correct parallax adjustment does not even get close to the markings on the dial. For instance: 180 meters is around the 300m mark on the dial. Normally I would take the markings with a pinch of salt but S&B's wording in the manual seems so confident of its accuracy it makes me wonder if there's an issue with my scope's parallax? Can anybody else with a S&B chime in as to whether or not this is normal? Would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L B Jefferies Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 I can't remember the exact markings, but I think mine is at least as far out as yours is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 With my Kahles 624i one could almost but the PMII ultra short I recently had one would be way out. 400m real was often at 800m on the dial. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montey Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 My two PMII are just as inaccurate if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatzi Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Few scopes are accurate in this respect unless personally 'calibrated' and the usual big issue with S&B is them being setup too close and not clarifying at ifinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchi Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Besides refocusing the reticule with the ocular, does impaired eyesight impact the optimal parallax setting as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarovski1 Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I would expect it to suit somebody's eyes but not many by the sounds of thing.most scopes haven't got the yardage on the focus dial.makes sense really then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mud Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Thanks for the replies gentlemen. I'll mess around with the ocular a little more over the weekend to see if it makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsburyshot Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 mine a 3x12 PM11 is reasonably accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
