I get it! Seen it too many times but, I just let it go. Funny. I was just venting earlier today how some of my tile subs say their Makita when really they mean grinder. For f sale. Makita is a brand not a specific tool.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
A bigger gripe are the guys that don’t have the sense God gave a walnut to put in a classified’s title what they’re exactly selling - “Leupold Scope For Sale” is not an ad I’m going to waste my time opening. “Leupold VX2 3x9x40 For Sale” would be an ad I’d open.

Nice try, but the language: grammar, spelling, usage, and punctuation, is lost, never to return. You’re pissing on a forest fire. Let it go and be happy.
Easy now people's going to get all kinds of upset after all they want an adjustable focus they don't give a s*** about a parallax adjustment
Yeah when I twist the focus on the eye piece I can go from seeing two parallel sets of cross hairs to just a crisp one, and thats how you adjust to get rid of that parallax on the scope your rifle is wearing.
Pay attention, you jackwads - this may be confusing to some of you slow kids, so get a friend to help you with this lesson if you need to.
When referring to a scope it's a "3-9x40", which is pronounced "three to nine by forty". It is not a cotdam 3x9x40, or simply a 3x9. A 3x9 would be a fixed magnification at 3x with an objective of 9mm, about the diameter of a soda straw - probably not good for low-light hunting, BTW. 😉
Another example: a 4-15x50 is a "4 to 15 by 50". And so on, etc.
Just had to get that off my chest. Carry on, maggots!
Reading that was actually quite cathartic for me. I have thought this and wanted to say something for years. I feel, liberated.

👍 I mean, this is an Optics forum so why not use the proper vernacular, right?
I feel the same way about the horrifically miss-stated military jargon I hear on a daily basis. I've just learned to translate it and try not to correct it unless I feel like it would actually be beneficial to the given conversation or individual.
Oops, hope run on sentences aren't also an annoyance!
