I searched, but couldn’t find anything to answer my question. I’ve used 4-5 different Nightforce scopes (higher power NXS’s and a couple of 3-10 SHV’s), but this is my first NXS 2.5-10x42. I adjusted the diopter as I normally would (highest magnification, parallax set to infinity, look through scope to sky but quick glances, not focusing on reticles but clouds in distance, etc).
I took the rifle (Kimber Montana 7mm WSM, scope mounted with Warne 2pc mounts milled to accept picatinny rings, and APA‘s lowest rings) to the range yesterday to sight it in. At 200yds, it required the parallax knob set all the way to infinity to remove all parallax and bring the target into focus.
Can anyone familiar with this scope tell me if that is normal? In hindsight I should have moved over to 300-600yds just to see if there was any parallax and/or if the image was focused but was in a hurry and didn’t think about it. I did readjust the diopter since it is a very fine adjustment just to see if this had any impact and there was none that I could tell.
