Make a Leupold focus for air rifle distances!
Posted: Mon Mar 02, 2020 11:44 am
I recently made a tool to adjust the AO distances on my older Leupold scopes (a Vari-X III and an M8 24X). I wanted to get them to focus down to 25 yards for target practice and still be in focus for smallbore silhouette distances.
I have been thinking of rearranging some scopes on my air rifles and had the thought to try the adjustment on the extra M8 scope to see if I could get it down to air rifle silhouette distances (20 to 45 yards). Sure enough I got it to focus to those ranges, although I need to get it to the range to double check.
The procedure to change the AO focus range on these scopes isn't difficult once you do it once but having the right kind of tool sure helps.
I just wanted to pass this little bit of info along since it can open up some options for anyone looking for an appropriate air rifle scope.
