It should stay perfectly still, and if you do not have that I can talk you through getting there.
Look at scope Sightron SIIISS832X56LRDT/TDT for the right one I was referring to. It is .012. crosshairs and a .125 dot. I don't want to get in a pissing contest, but I just want to get the right information out there and not have people get the wrong information. I'm sure you agree. I hope this helps you.
I have tried several times and the cross hair still moves just a little bit and the vertical cross hair is not as black or pronounced as the horizontal cross hair. I sure would appreciate your help.
Thanks, Maybe he will listen to you.
I guess it's time to just, um, yeah ... go ahead and reprint in full my essay on scope adjustment.It should stay perfectly still, and if you do not have that I can talk you through getting there.
Our methods are essentially the same, and with reiterative fine tuning, the difference boils down to where we jump into the loop. Next time I'll start as you describe.Here is how I do it. First do the standard ocular focus to get to a decent starting place, then, at the range set up the rifle with a normal target, at a distance that is within the scopes objective or side focus range. Then I focus the objective or side adjustment to peak target sharpness, check for parallax, and if it is present make a very small ocular adjustment, refocus the objective or side adjustment to sharpen the target, and then check to see if parallax has improved. If the parallax is worse, I made the ocular adjustment in the wrong direction, so I go back to where I started and make a small adjustment in the opposite direction, refocus the objective or side focus for peak image sharpness and reevaluate for parallax. I keep doing this, eyepiece, front or side focus, check for parallax, until I get to the point where I have peak target sharpness, and absolutely no parallax. At that point I know that the ocular is focused precisely in the plane of the reticle, and that no matter what distance, if I focus the objective or side adjustment for peak target sharpness that there will be no parallax. I have done this with many scopes over the years.
I put mine up because you shared yours. Most of the time I handle this by PM and phone because in the past, on a couple of forums, some "expert" who claimed universal scope knowledge would berate anyone who mentioned adjusting the ocular to resolve this issue, essentially behaving as if the typical, simplified manufacturers' instructions were the last word, and should be followed to the letter. After a while I realized that I really had no need for discussion, since I had done the procedure so many times, and that all I really wanted to do was to help those who recognized that they had a problem, that they wanted help with.Our methods are essentially the same, and with reiterative fine tuning, the difference boils down to where we jump into the loop.

Here is the linkNo, Steve, I have wasted enough time on this already. I looked at evey 8-32 scope Sightron makes. There is NONE with a .012 crosshair.
If you think there is, POST THE LINK.

Sorry I was so persistent in informing you about this. I guess we are both just stubborn. It just seemed very small and that is why I thought that could be rebs problem, not just a focus problem. Maybe both!Thanks, Steve. That does indeed say it has a .012 reticle at 32x. I agree with you that is going to be very difficult for most people to see except in optimal conditions on a mostly white target.
I want an opaque sky to focus an ocular. I focus on something outside the scope (trees, whatever) at a distance, then move my eye to the reticle. I go back and forth, adjusting until the reticle is in focus when I first move to it.
