Ryan Cleckner, an expert from Gun University, emphasizes the critical but often overlooked importance of ocular focus for rifle scopes. Proper adjustment ensures the reticle is crystal clear, directly impacting shooting accuracy and comfort. This guide details a practical method for personalizing your scope's ocular focus, recommending it be checked before each range session for optimal performance.

This review from Madman Review (Andrew) details the top 5 scopes for the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, emphasizing magnification needs based on range. It covers high-end options like the Vortex Viper PST II and Nightforce NXS, mid-range choices like the Vortex Strike Eagle and Viper HS-T, and a budget-friendly Athlon Argos BTR. The review highlights key features such as reticle types (MOA/MRAD), focal planes (FFP), durability, and optical quality, offering expert insights for long-range precision shooting.

This guide details a simplified and cost-effective method for sighting in a scoped rifle. It emphasizes proper equipment setup, including a stable bench and rest, and explains how to use ballistic data and a 25-yard initial shot to make gross adjustments before fine-tuning at 100 yards. The instruction also covers optical centering of the scope and focusing for clear vision.

This guide details how to eliminate parallax error in rifle scopes, a critical step for long-range accuracy. Parallax occurs when the reticle appears to move relative to the target due to the shooter's eye not being perfectly centered. By adjusting the scope's parallax knob until the reticle remains stationary relative to the target when the shooter's head moves, the shooter ensures the target image and reticle are in the same focal plane, significantly improving shot placement. This technique is essential for any shooter seeking precision at extended distances.
