Fitting a Scope to a 300S and 601.

[zooma]

It's still possible to adjust the parallax free distance. 10m is close range, but it should be possible to significantly reduce the parallax error you are seeing, if not fully remove it.

Here's a link showing what is involved. It's one of those jobs that is easier to do than write an explanation of.

Thanks for the link.

The scope I have does not have a removeable end section to hold the front lens - only the threaded lens retaining ring inside the scope outer case, so I am guessing this will make it a whole lot harder to adjust as some form or spacer will also have to be inserted behind the lens.

I will take a look and see how practical it wil be to do this. Maybe I have the wrong scope and it would be better to sell it or exchange it for something more suited or more easilly corrected for 10 metre use?

That 601 mount as I mentioned earlie has a somewhat 'Sportsmatch' appearance to it - have you tried asking Sportsmatch if it was something they might have made?

I sure I reparallaxed one of these and it had a "normal" locking ring on the front objective. It was probably 10+ years ago, so possibly a Mk1 version of the scope?

It might be worth asking the question in the regular "Airgun Section" to see if anyone has recent experience/knowledge. Don't give up on it yet.

Have you thought about putting out a shout for the folks with access to milling machines etc? They may be able to modify something for you.


Bing!

I have a running target 601 all I have is a set of very high scope rings. the loading port just barely clears the scope. I got the rifle second hand and it came with the scope and rings. The scope is a normal leopold 4 power with modified posts for running target
