Re: Effect of Parallax?
Has anyone else found as mentioned by tcbc that the rest type used with a springer can affect grouping? I have noted it in some cases, but never took notice of the observation.
I also have old Tasco scopes on the Springers I own, but only 4 x magnification. I was under the impression the parralax would be far worse with the 9 x magnification. Was I wrong about this?

Re: Effect of Parallax?
Yes. the higher the magnification,the more parallax becomes an issue.

Ai
Mr Stone
Go print two papers with 7 blocks on them.
Shoot each only on one specific magnification, first block 3 and last block 9.
You dig?

No need for that really. I have established that the problem was not with the scope's parallax but with my air rifle shooting technique.

Re: Effect of Parallax?
Yeah I was just questioning your testing methods here :)
It’s like testing a rifle load with ONLY the beginning charge and the max charge but ignoring the rest in-between and trying to make sense of the figures none the less.
And you are not even locked in, you are locked out
