Hi Daz

Look again at Jon Budd's 08:58 post. I think that that's the only explanation.

Try this. Unscrew the outer ring by say one turn.

Then, VERY carefully, using something that won't do any damage [ wooden or plastic toothpick, cut-down
credit card, or even your fingernail ] engage in the lens carrier slot[s] and try to move the lens carrier
independently of the outer ring.

If it does move independently, then that's good! You won't need Butler Creeks after re-parallaxing!

I can't get the inner thing to move at all - even pushing on it.

Looks like the "quick job" has knackered my scope

I was having a similar problem with my Bushnell.

I finally got it to focus beyond 15 m by removing the O ring and screwing the Ocular bell in further.

No, not that far (as it will prob leak the gas), just a good way, then back..

Very puzzling: but if it's any comfort, I can't believe that the little bit of winding in and out that you've
done can possibly have damaged it permanently.

Maybe tomorrow will bring some fresh ideas?

Courage, mon ami!

Goodnight Daz.

I agree, hence my enquiry about it;s provenance.. but I'm out of ideas
