This way, you get the brightest sight picture available with that scope and light is not wasted while you still maintain some wiggle room of your head. Too small exit pupil size leads to small, dark sight picture through the lens. Furthermore, scopes with too large objective lens would be heavy, bulky and costly. Too thin reticle is a no-no. Another option is illuminated reticle to help in this regard. Desirable turrets are precise and repeatable. Each click must be tactile, audible and exact as shown on the markings.
For competition scopes, turrets precision is imperative as you often need to dial-in your shots for different distance. Zero stop and revolution markings are also great value. Hunting style turrets often are low profile and come with caps to prevent unintentional adjustment especially when out hunting.
Target shooting style turrets are high profile without caps. This makes adjusting on the fly easier. Although rimfire recoil is mild and not going to be an issue, one wants a scope that will last for years to come.
And it must be able to withstand field conditions such as pouring rain, extreme cold or extreme heat and lots of bumps from your truck. Even at this price point, the Simmons.
Compared to similar priced peers, Simmons glass performs very well. Light transmission is not superb, but adequate for low light hunting given the objective diameter is only 32mm. Truplex reticle is simple, no-clutter and thick enough to easily spot during hunting. However it provides no holdovers. Turrets are finger adjustable, target style turrets, meaning that they are high and more suitable for plinking and target shooting.
Caps are provided to prevent unintentional adjustments. If you want hunting style, low turrets, you have to forego adjustable objective with this Simmons. That said the turrets precision are not good enough for you to dial for different distances. Once you successfully zero the scope, you should leave your turrets in that position. Simmons warranty is now handled by Bushnell.
Due to its easier construction of fixed power scope, image quality is razor sharp. This is big enough for use in low light condition. Reticle type is a duplex with no holdovers, plus magnification is only at 4x, the scope is not suited for. Turrets track well , but have no zero reset nor zero stop. Eye relief and eyebox is also generous. This scope, along with other Leupold products, is durable and weather resistant. You can use it in the field with confidence that the scope will not fail you.
To adjust a scope where parallax is an issue, adjust the parallax adjustment all the way to infinity. Then aim your rifle at a target set at a known distance, obtain a sight picture through the optic and adjust the knob or ring back until the reticle becomes clearer. Make it as crisp as you can here.
Then, lift your cheek off the stock while still looking through the scope and move your eye around. Still see the crosshairs moving off target some when you do? Now your parallax should be set and you should be ready to shoot or hunt. Lock the adjustment in. Then you may want to at least check it.
Let's try a small example. Look at an object in the distance, such as a light pole. Close one eye and hold your thumb out at arms length to cover the object. Then, without moving your thumb, move your head a bit to the side. Notice that, even though the two objects thumb and light pole are still in the same position, your point of view is now slightly different for both objects.
This is the basis for parallax. Look through your scope and line up the crosshairs on a specific object that is not at the distance for which the scope is parallax corrected. Then, without moving the scope, move your head around slightly.
