AHAAA!
Maybe this credit card/butter knife method will work to move the lens carrier just a wee bit on my Leupold 12X A.O. ??
I can see the little slots, and will give it a try later today. Only need to change parallax about 25 yards.

Couldn't get the lens carrier to budge.
Going to have to break down, and send my scope back to Leupold.
This was worth a try, but as stated, the A.O. system is different.

Got a E mail from Leupold. They say they can change focus for closer range, BUT, I will loose some focus for longer distances.
Am thinking 'Stick is right, I need to just ditch this scope and go with a SWFA Custom.

Great info.
Today I rim-fired a Leupold Rifleman 3-9X40 to 25 yards. Target is crystal clear on 9 power at 25 yards, still clear and very little parallax at 50 yards.
Now, I am thinking of going the other way. Convert a VX-1 3-9X40 Heavy Duplex shotgun scope for Centerfire rifle use.

Just did my first one...An older Japan Nikon 2-7. Had to use a strap wrench to get it broke loose, the adjustment was pretty stiff and I used a thin piece of metal in the two slots to turn.
It's on a squirrel rifle and I couldn't decide on 35 or 40 yards so I set it at 38.
Thanks!
