Good series on scopes. I have a few decades of catching up to do since the Crossman 760, & my 22's. This Winchester 1400CS's scope is 3-9X32, so it's bigger & hopefully better once I watch all these & get to it. Thanks.
@CanadianAirGunHunter; The video misrepresents what Parallax in a telescopic sight actually is. Parallax is the error between the Scope Reticle and the Target. All Scopes are Parallax-free at one distance (there are a lot of variables which can affect Parallax, including eyepiece adjustment). Just because an AO Scope has Parallax adjustment, doesn't automatically mean the scope will be Parallax-free; the ranges marked on the adjuster, depending on eyepiece settings, may not be absolute.
@MultimediaMan2k6 , Parallax is a difference between two focal lanes. It is not caused by a difference in focusing, but in movement of one plane, relative to the other. The video made no error. But it explained parallax in terms that an airgunner needs to know to use it. It is not an optical explanation. Tom Gaylord
@MultimediaMan2k6 Parallax is where the scope is set to when you buy them. I believe Parallax can only be found on non AO scopes... (adjustable objective.)
@CanadianAirGunHunter , All scopes have parallax. It is the apparent difference in movement between the plane of the reticle and target. AO scopes can reduce this, but not eliminate it. Tom Gaylord
Good info video. keep it up, more people are buying scopes with no idea what they're buying. Now for the lens hum!!! and turrets . ???? MOA, keep it up.
@MultimediaMan2k6, No scope is ever parallax-free. That is an impossibility. The best you can hope for is to reduce parallax to a minimum,. Eye placement, relative to the eyepiece is still important, even when the parallax has been corrected as much as possible. Tom Gaylord
Very Slick review. I must point out an error: your explanation of Parallax is completely incorrect. Parallax adjustment is ability to focus the reticle to the target. In your video, you describe Parallax adjustment as bore to scope offset, which is a completely different animal. In Airguns, a large bore to scope offset is actually beneficial in most cases, because they have such large trajectories.
how do you adjust elevation on a red dot sight so that it lines up with the barrel? i have a umarex steel storm... please respond, i couldnt find the episode
Your speaking ability is among the Top for this technical expression. Qualification to say that is 12 years public speaking training. Many opportunities are available to you. And thanks for the information.
it only covered scopes tho, i want to make it so that my red dot sight is accurate, right now, my red dot sight doesnt even help my aim but it makes it worse! please help me, im a beginner and i dont know how to adjust my elevation so that it will be accurate, i have a umarex steel storm
not that far, i want to be able to knock down cans or targets accurately, so like it doesnt have to be 100%, but like good enough to hit my targets on point, like if my red dot is at a certain area, i want the bb to be going pree close to the place my red dot was at

Sir,we fixed at 30metres target but we want a target 50,60 metres then how to aim on scope
AO = Adjustable Objective, not parallax. Parallax is being focused at the range you are shooting.
thank you very much. very helpful.
