I might answer my own question, fatigue. I participate in a 600yrd match with a Rem 700 / Votrex 5-25 PST II and use a barrel heat diffuser. I shoot three strings of 20 rounds. I’ll get into the scope and the reticles and target-X are crystal clear and after a few seconds the target gets blurry. I’ll come out of the scope and try to rest my eyes for a few minutes, then go back in the scope. Same thing, blurry after a few seconds. I’ve considered the mirage and barrel heat, but I just don’t understand how the X can be clear for the first few moments. I should also mention I wear seamless bifocal regular and sun glasses. Thx for the help — Dougie[/QUOTEI
I've been using Ranger shooting glasses for about 30 years now and there's quite a difference in the size of the focus area between my shooting glasses and my everyday glasses. I suspect that's what's going on with your personal challenge. I send my prescription in to Morgan optical in NY and they make the lenses for me in a variety of configurations.

I have found that artificial tears such as Thera-Tears help a lot. They come in small plastic vials and are applied like any eye drop.Might also be dry eyes. You might try using some eyedrops to moisten your tired eyes. Sun and winds take their toll on your vision during the day.
A few deep breaths before you begin your relays and breath consistently throughout. Eyes require a lot of oxygen and stabilizing your pulse at the same time doesn't hurt either.
