    Rifle Scopes My SWFA 1x6 POI shift--what's acceptable?

    I've experienced parallax problems with scopes before, and no way they would shoot groups in the same hole, especially not twice in a row! And I have to concur that a 2.5 MOA from parallax would be a bit extreme. We shall see. Hoped to hit the range today, but not in the stars--now I gotta wait...

    Rifle Scopes My SWFA 1x6 POI shift--what's acceptable?

    1) Windham Weaponry AR-15 carbine, HBAR, military handguard. All groups were shot with the handguard resting the same way on a padded rest. 2) Ammo is std Am. Eagle 55 gr FMJBT. Nothin' special, but it look like my WW likes them. 3) There was no center to these groups. Both groups had all...

    Rifle Scopes My SWFA 1x6 POI shift--what's acceptable?

    After researching here and some other sites, I bought an SWFA 1x6. Never spent that much on an optic before, so I had my fingers crossed. Initial testing was good news-bad news (maybe)? Fired a small group at 6x, 50 yards. Used the mil system to adjust POI. One adjustment put me dead center at...
