With the lense cell against the focus ring, the focus ring CANNOT push the cell far enough into the scope to achieve focus. I just tested this again. The only way to get the scope to achieve focus is to thread the locking ring further out, use the locking ring to push the cell further into the housing than the focus ring had the ability to do, and then tighten the locking ring to pull the cell slightly forward to fine tune the adjustment.
I will attempt to explain this another way. With the locking ring loosened, and the objective lens cell pulled out and positioned against the focus ring, the focus ring bottoms out before the picture becomes clear, setting the parallax at roughly 43yds (I realize I understated earlier, it had been a while since I tried this again).
The cell assembly has to travel further into the scope to achieve focus further out, say 300yds. Since the focus ring bottoms out and will not carry the cell further inward, how to I remedy this?
