Leupold scope

[mike in co]

your making a lot of ASSumptions with no data to back it up.
its not ruining the value of the scope...its still a leupold comp scope......
you have no facts that no one else will buy the scope for for market value...none.
go away

If a clean, used Leupold 6x BR scope is worth $xxx dollars, and you have to have the reticle changed after you buy it, then it is worth $xxx, minus the cost of replacing the reticle - and that is ~$150.

I'd say that is ruining the value - especially, when going to a fat reticle won't solve his problems.

Thanks to all who have tried to send me some help and ideas on my Leupold -6x compitition scope. And thank you to the two men who are takeing snipes at each other in an effort to help me -but it was not my intention to stir up an argument. I am sure you both are very knowledgable about the subject at hand. I would like for you two men to stop snipeing at each other and agree to disagree. It helps no one to acheive anything .Thank you again for your time and advise. garrisone. )chill(

Garisone:

As has been suggested, set the a.o. to 'infinity', screw the eye piece in all the way, then adjust the eye piece out until the crosshairs appear sharp when you look through it at a white or light colored wall. Don't look through it for more than 2-3 seconds, as the eye will tend to adjust..you want the crosshairs to be crisp at first glance. Then, adjust the a.o. at the range to clear the parallax.

The basics ain't never a bad place to start...... -Al

Al's got the correct answer. If the above doesn't solve the problem, something is wrong with the scope. But...remember, once the eye piece (field lens) is adjusted for proper reticle focus, there are some scopes out there that when the objective lens is adjusted for proper parallax, the target focus may still not be sharp.

I have a leupold compitition hunter 6x42m/m scope. No matter how I turn the adjusting ring i can,t seem to get the crosshair and dot to come into good focus. Would it be possable to get the cross hair and dot beefed up more so I might see it better. garrisone.

Aim the scope in the air so you have nothing you are trying to focus on and adjust the rear eyepiece till reticle is sharp. If it will not get sharp have somebody else do it in case it is your eyes. If it still will not get sharp ship it to Leupold.
