Ocular Adjustment
Trying to explain this over phone not working
and i thought there was a thread here that explained it, not finding it
or anything that will help this guy get it setup right
if you have links to info please post, so he can read thru it and get his scope adjusted

TIA

Re: Ocular adjustment

This is for glasses but the affect is the exact same for scopes. Basically it's the "+/-" aspect of focus. Diopter is a standard of measurement for sight.

I hope this helps.

Re: Ocular adjustment

Do it outside. Put a piece of white paper directly in front of the objective. Look through the eyebox and make gross adjustments on the ocular adjustment of the scope to focus the reticle. The lines of the crosshair should be crisp, not blurry. Then look away and let your eyes adust to looking at something far away. Repeat the process a few times until the reticle is crisp the moment you put your eye to the scope. Then use the focus adjustment of the scope to focus at a target 100 yards away. Now repeat the first process above.

FFP? sounds like he is turning the zoom/power collar, not the eyepiece
