Re-parallax query

[JMH123]

Looking at getting an Optimate 8x56 reparallaxed to 35yds professionally. Don't want to do it myself. Any recommendations? Likely cost? Thanks

It's really simple IF the front lock ring comes undone by hand.

Move the front lens forward to obtain zero parrellax point closer to scope.

Seriously it is really really easy.

I was scared too but don't be.

Just undo the front locking ring with a strap wrench and adjust to desired position.

Same here, did the first one and was really flapping, but it was soo easy!

Get one of these, or something similar

Loosen the locking ring with it.
Wind the objective out, only need to do fractions of a turn at a time, till you're happy with the parralax.
Tighten the locking ring.

I've done this with cheapos and more expensive scopes, it's a piece of cake and nothing to worry about. Sometimes the locking ring is very tight though.

JMH123,

It really is that easy

Years ago, when I got my Simmons Whitetail Classic, I rang Simmons up about getting it re-parallaxed to 35 meters.

No problem they said, but why not do it yourself, it would take only a few minutes ?

He gave me the instructions over the phone, and bugger me, it really was that easy

One thing to note, is that when you adjust the objective, you may have to adjust the ocular focus to get the reticule sharp again - at least I had to do that.

Best of luck

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards
