OK, all you old farts.........

I don't particulary want to wear glasses when using the scope but I can't think of another way. I tried the 1.25 strength lense which didn't help so would need to go up in power but what does that do to the reticle and distant target picture?

Recommendations please.

As someone with really crappy eyesight (glasses since 14, bifocals for the last 6 or so years) it shouldn't be much of an issue. Get your lenses to correct for the distance you want, and the focus adjustments for parallax and ocular (reticle) on the scope should be able to adjust for whatever you end up with.

So I just did it till I needed glasses. I try to set my target up with a plumb bob. [washer on a string] I can mostly tell by my crosshairs on the target if I am close to level. The way I shoot it doesn't make much difference. :}
