    Simmons Whitetail Classic

    I have found a problem with fitting this sight to my 300S.

    As I "settle" on the cheekpiece of the rifle I see the cross hairs in the sight moving up and down, as well as left and right with every slight movement of the head.

    I believe this is called parrallex, and there is no adjustment for this on the Whitetail 1.5-5 x 20mm, so it looks like I need to find a sight more suited to the closer distance of 10 metres, or find one that can have it's parrallex adjusted for use at this relatvely short distance.

    Perhaps this is the job of the "distance" ring on a scope when fitted ?

    The air rifle Running Boar shooters must have found suitable scopes to work at this distance - any ideas what works best at 10 metres?
