Rifle Scopes Diopter question for S&B

[PTPATAW]

I’m no stranger to adjusting the diopter properly. I just recently got a S&B 3-27x and the reticle is clean from about mid range all the way to bottoming the - side out.
About mid range to all the way to the + side is when it gets blurry.

I’m not entirely sure where to set it from mid range to bottoming out the - side. It all looks good in any of that. My eye isn’t re-focusing. If been messing with it for a couple hours now trying to catch my eye focusing it when I get behind it but nothing.

As far as edge to edge clarity, it feels more pleasing to have the - side bottomed out. Never really ran into this before.

My main concern is when I took it to the range yesterday, it took a lot more parallax than marked, which we all know that can’t be trusted, but even at 300yds I was damn near infinity. I felt like that can’t be right so I’m reinvestigating the diopter

Glasses?

Glasses?

Nope. Don’t need them. 20/15 vision. Had eye surgery in the past.

Ha, that's nice
You did the diopter adjust set at infinity, max power, at the sky?

Yes... let’s pretend I did everything right and have adjusted diopters for over a decade.

I have two S&B 3-27x that are doing the same exact thing.

Get someone to verify the diopter issue.
If not totally familiar with the method, explain it to them.
Might be a bad scope but two problems?
Your eyes are still probably trying to compensate.
It would be like trying someones glasses on and not noticing the prescription.

I use glasses and have to use a positive corrective lens because many scopes don't have enough positive range.
Your case is obviously different

Mines definitely different considering I have a huge range of clarity to choose from.

Go stare at the sun, burn those retinas a little, scope be all better now
No honestly, get a second opinion looking through the two bad scopes.
Send one in for warranty service and hold the other.
