Cool hack to remove parallax from any scope

I just thought that was how it's done. I didn't realize that was a hack

Damn you have a great narrator's voice, I could listen to you do radio or a podcast

Where did you get the dope chart for the scope cap?

Hey dumb ass this doesn’t work for any scope. There’s only work for scopes that have a parallax adjustment idiot

That's a very old technique from back in the day when most scopes didn't have parallax adjustments. Yep it works well!

Wrong

What an idiotic comment

I luv how you just assume everybody knows what you mean by Focal Plane.

Your choice of rifle shows you have credibility mate. My Carbonlites are so precise, I had to get the new Peaks too. Accuracy robbing fashion like spiral fluting etc is for fashion followers…

I’ve never experienced parallax. I’m also a photographer by trade so maybe there’s a correlation?

Use the parallax adjustment is your "hack"? This is clown material.

Set it on infinity and forget about it

This is literally not a hack at all. It's simply a tutorial on how to properly use a scope. Of course you need to have your eye centered behind the scope, and at the proper distance away so that the entire image is visible from edge to edge (aka the proper eye relief). You still need to adjust your parallax to get a precision shot.

What stock is that

It also helps when you reduce magnification

great

Excellent info subscribed and going to try that , thanks

Tangent scope, MDT rings. Somebody got that big boy money!!! Seriously though nice set up. I own Swaro’s, Maven, Zeiss, and a few other brands. Always wanted to look through a Tangent.

Great advice!

Thanks I'm picking up a non A.O. scope in 8 days.

I was doing this today shooting my air rifle. It definitely makes a huge difference

I knew about this but it’s just hard to center your eye, crosshairs, and target when parallax is way off in using fixed parallax scopes. It helps a lot but for very small targets specially for rimfire and Airgun, the slightest deviation from that centerline can make you miss. For big bore assuming you are shooting at a big target at sub 100yards or less, as long as you center your eye, being off by a tid bit won’t matter as much.😁

Are you talking about parallax error?

I got parallax to.
Hawke Airmax 3-12×50 AO
Not much, but a little.
Im gonna try it.

pretty much useless info.

So proper training is now a "field hack"….. gotta love the 2020s

Interesting. I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks.

This is a great tip for new shooters and hunters

There are two types of parallax. They are in different axis. The first is the minor Parallax created by not having the reticle focused to the same focal plane as the target view and is in the plane parallel to the barrel. You may not even be able to see this as a misalignment, but only as a blurred reticle. The parallax adjustment knob does indeed bring the scope and reticle to the same focal plane. The second is the gross parallax from a lateral misalignment of the eye, perpendicular to the plane of the barrel, to the extent it produces a dark ring or edge crescent. The Parallax adjustment knob will not correct off-centered eye to the extent that you are describing it. The correction produced by the parallax adjustment knob is in the fine tuning, sub moa category. Dark rings on one edge only are a gross misalignment, which will make you miss by feet. You explain how one parallax type occurs, the tell how to fix it with a control that cannot affect it. You probably know how it works, but in your attempt over simplify it for easy understanding, you become somewhat incorrect. In the practical world, your pointers, however will work even if you overglossed the details. The scope you are promoting is not magical target locking device that eliminates necessity for good practices.

I wholeheartedly agree that this clip is the best explanation of the problem with parallax ever.

Now that is a useful tip! Thanks!

What parallax?.. it’s a tangent 😂

Agree

good gouge

Awesome! I gotta try that on one of my non parallax adjustable scopes!

and the hack??

Great information 👍

nice one 👍

Or you could just adjust the parallax

This trick only minimizes the parallax error. But a great idea when in a pinch!

I started doing this adjustment a few years ago. I’d always shot using iron/ fixed sights. Once I started using scopes I noticed that weird thing happening, kinda like when I started using binoculars, so I did the same thing I did to get my eyes used to seeing through them and it actually worked.

Once you achieve that perfect shadow circle the trick is to KEEP it until you have lulled the trigger. And it's not an easy "trick" if you do not have a solid rest.

That doesn't eliminate parallax. It still has parallax

That's what my scope always looked like as a kid.

Right on… that is a super cool tip and explanation.

Thats the best information you will receive on the subject.
