... Funny story - years ago, I called Todd Hodnett @accuracy1st and said "Todd, I'm at my wit's end, I've lost our accuracy, come down here and tell me where I'm going wrong on my barrels."
Todd got in his 182RG and flew it down here to Leander. Todd looks around, scratches his head, goes back to the range with the kid that was shooting for us at the time. Todd comes back up from the range, says the parallax was a mile off in our NightForce we routinely used. He set the parallax, showed us all how to know what's what. Showed us our accuracy was in fact just fine and hadn't gone to hell. I thanked him, took him back to the airport and he flew home. The End 😎 ML

spentbrasscasing I love these types of stories. They start as catastrophic and end with a "well damn, that's it". 👏 7 likes
gwerkin88 I always have trouble with parallax no matter how long I spend adjusting the reticle still moves around. I typically just adjust it until I have crisp image and send it.
doctersandman I will still occur with FFP correct?
- oldfrankm7 @doctersandman yes
- oldfrankm7 @doctersandman it is independent from the focal plane placement. We in europe have a lot of scopes that have factory "set" internal parallax. I cannot recall the number of time i have seen a scope go back to the dealer due to improper setting or tracking of the parallax or the reticle diopter
danielcauthen 😂 Sometimes it's something simple. 1 like
billsnearly Yep. Optics 101. First, focus the objective to your eye using the 'diopter' adjustment. Then adjust the parallax to the target. Another caveat - the numbers on the focus or parallax knob are just estimates. Pay them no mind.
texan.right The kid that was shooting still work for you guys?
- laruetactical @texan.right ... No, I took shooting back a long time ago and who ever that shooter was is long gone. 2 likes

charlessanders1979 Another thing people seem to forget is having the scope level... Literally a 2000 dollar scope and 25 dollar pair of plastic scope rings/mounts and can't figure out how come that high end scope isn't accurate 😮 1 like
