[norton850]

Having a very hard time adjusting ocular lens. Anyone having this problem with this scope? Not looking on how to adjust it. I have adjusted many. Thanks

I have the 45ed my ocular is smooth to turn, works good

I owned 2, never had a problem.
Sightron is great to work with.
Just give them a call.

Mine works.

I would think once it's set, it's set. Tight to me means a good seal. On the other had, as stated above Sightron is good to work with. I am a big believer in, If it's not broke keep your fingers off it.No need to look for trouble it just might find you.

Exactly what is the problem? Visual, mechanical.......?

 

[norton850]

Visual. If you turn the adjustment all the way in reticle gets blurry as it should . Back it off about one turn it clears up a little, from there until fully backed out no change until very end of travel when blurry again. Also having trouble with mirage at 100 yd. Shot today, early morning, sun out, 65 degrees. Only scope at my range showing mirage. I own a Sightron 10X50x60 no problems. Try to tell this story to Sightron I don't even believe it myself.

No problem with my 36x ED. but some days the x-hairs dont appear as crisp. I have locked it down and most of the time it is perfect. I think my 80 YO eyes and the way the sunlight is the reason that they are not as crisp those few times

 

[norton850]

Thanks for the info. What about the mirage I'm seeing. Have you seen this with your scope? No other scopes on the line showed any mirage.

I am having a small amount of trouble with my 45x, ED glass having the same crisp focus and elimination of parallax at the same point. Any suggestions?.

Heat off the barrel after a couple shots? Are you using a mirage shield?

Does this mean you are turning the ocular a full turn between adjustments, that's a lot?

No, the ocular does not seem to be working like most others. Like i said not my first rodeo by a long shot. Thinking this may be the problem with seeing the mirage. Just trying to find out if anyone has this problem with Sightron 45x45.

 

[CharlieNC]

OK. I have one, and adjutments to the ocular have not been any different than others and mirage is no worse given its 45X. Sightron has excellent customer service, just contact them for return authorization details.

I have had the same problem on a few scopes. My fix is to adjust the parallax properly, then adjust the ocular for crisp focus. There seems to be a fairly wide range of the ocular where the cross hairs are sharp and within that range I was able to get crisp focus on the target when my parallax was set properly. Hope that makes sense.

this time of year with the sun low to the southwest I think causes a few issues, but hell I'm blind as a bat
