I have an old Weaver V9 3-9x variable purchased new in the sixties. It never saw much use, but at some point I noticed that the image was out of focus. This was many years ago but as I recall, I adjusted the knurled ring on the power selector ring ( This is the thin threaded ring halfway between the eyepiece and the junction of the ocular end and the scope tube)and found that I could change the focus, but that I couldn't get both the reticle and the image in focus at the same time. Disgusted, I stored it for another 15 years or so.
I got it out the other day and found that the reticle stays in sharp focus, and the image is clear and sharp, but ONLY with the parallax adjusted at 75 feet. If I adjust the objective to any longer distance, the image blurs.
I feel sure this is something I did playing with it many years ago. Before I try adjusting the ring on the ocular end again, I thought I would ask for help here.
Thanks for any suggestions.
