I bought a used Savage bolt action in .222 with a Simmons 3x9x50. I don't know which model the Simmons is, other than the measurements mentioned; there are no other markings on the scope. It's an accurate package, but there is one problem.
The reticle is out of focus. When shooting, I can't see the reticle clearly, I just look beyond it at the target. At first I thought it was my eyeglasses; I have progressive bifocal lenses and I thought I needed to tilt my head more.
Anyway, my question is, is there a way to adjust the scope so the reticle is in focus? I would think so, but I don't want to break it. I know Simmons aren't the best scopes on the market, but it came with the rifle, is quite clear, and the .222 doesn't kick much so it shouldn't damage the scope. Suggestions would be appreciated.
