Hello. I've never looked through a riflescope before this week and I'm in doubt about how I'm looking through it. If my eye is too close to the ocular lens the FOV gets less clear and if my eye is too far away it gets less clear, so obviously there's a window that seems usable. But for long range shooting is there an exact distance my eye should be or just anywhere in the window? What I'm reading is that every variable has to be consistent, but I don't see or feel a tactile reference that puts my eye exactly the same distance every time I mount the rifle. Plus I don't know what that distance should be. Even with length of pull fixed on the rifle, my shoulder rotation, spine, head and everything can vary. I mean if I squash my cheek on the riser that's a reference to the scope axis but not distance from the ocular.
Also, I can see as I slightly rotate my head that the crosshairs can be slightly off dead center of the FOV circle. Does that matter? Or is part of the requirement that if the crosshairs are not dead center then the bullet won't hit the target even if the crosshairs are on the target?
Thank you for answering!
