Amazing........
CYA gun fool friends:
I'm in uncharted territory for the first time in my RFBR career........as a shooter and schmidt...
Shooting cards with a 6 power scope.....
It's not only the most fun RFBR shooting I've ever done, it's the most astonishing......yes, astonishing.
It's simply mind blowing how accurate one can shoot with a 6 power.......if you have a target configured so you can see where to aim.

ZEISS
I have this old Zeiss 6 power.........I thought it was a 4 power, or, I would have investigated it sooner...
Here I've mounted it on my new MD-PAS triple pistol...
Here's what it looks like on the target...
It's much clearer than this picture shows..
OK, here's something I'm not sure of:
I have to put my camera on full zoom, to be able to take a picture through a scope.....any scope.
The bulls look larger, it seems, in this picture than they do through the scope.......it seems....
______________________________________
OK, this is a fixed power hunting scope, so what about parallax?
Yes, I did adjust the parallax, and it is perfect.......zero parallax...
But.....................
To correct the parallax, I had to unscrew the objective lens housing about two threads.....
S0............................
I'm going to make up a precision shim, after I determine how thick to machine it, and fit it between the objective lens housing and the scope body, so I can tighten the housing...
I shot it like it is, unscrewed two threads, with no problem......but I want something permanent.
Another thing:
I can see the bullet holes......oh yes......man this scope is crystal clear...
But....................
I can't see the bullet holes well enough to score the bull......I can determine a stout X, or a stout 10, though.
Close 10's or X's, no...........
It's 60 plus degrees today......kinda windy....
But.................
I'm headed back to the range.....
Man I'm hooked....
