SOURCE: i have a weaver k-8 scope with adj. rings on front bezel ??????
the front ring is for adjusting point of impact at a given range,,,its called a "parallax ajustment" it corrects for the scopes inaccuracies over its full range say from 10 yds to 100 yds there a bit of a pain on a hunting rifle as you need to focus them every time and that slows down your shooting, when only a snap shot will get the kill you cant wate to mess about focusing the darm scope so i never use them on my rifles,,unless im target shooing,, or im snipping when i have time to take my shot,,,
(a head shot only!) only a parallax scope is spot on aim from 10yds to infinity

SOURCE: I have a 25 year old Redfield 6X18 scope, with an
bullet drop compensation,,,,compleat hog wash!
no such thing in a scope, only a realy pricy one like £1500.00p worth and there not that good! but there coming soon! driven by a lazer for range finding,,,
still your scope has clouded up becouse its leaking
water has got into it, it could be repaired but its not cheap to do, it needs a complet strip down all the class cleand and new seals then a re-gas and it should be as good as new for another 25 years or so,
any good scope with mill dot will work for you, you just need to relurn the bullet drop over again,,and with the years of shooting you have had that should come easy as falling over,,,why not just get a good prised 3/9x40 mill dot and try that out insted, you will be plesently pleased with todays mid priced range scopes treet your self, and save money at the same time
Testimonial: "Both Leupold & Nikon DO have bullet drop compensation reticles, which are similar in principal to the mil-dot. The BDC scopes are becoming very popul"

Under the adjuster cap there should be a scale with an arrow marked up or right (depending on which one you are looking at. If it's not marked, place the gun in a vise (gently as not to crush it, cover metal parts with a towel)
Fire the gun while in the vise at a large sheet of paper several yards away (careful where the bullet goes...use bails of newspaper or plywood backing)
Sight through the scope and move the cross-hairs 'till they are exactly on the bullet hole. After you have done that, keep increasing the distance and adjusting up to compensate for bullet drop till you reach your desired range. Side to side adjustments should only be minor. Before sighting in, make sure that the scope is securely mounted or any adjustments you make will be irrelevant. While sighting, always use a bench rest...shooting "off-hand" will never give you any degree of accuracy because everyone moves and shakes a bit.
