    Electricians wire strippers work to pull bullets too. Cheap as chips.
    Yes, had a play with focus adjustment but doesn’t resolve my issue as the reticle in my short sight range. I can compensate for this with glasses but then I can’t focus through the scope out further.
    Information is a bit lean on this issue. I’ve seen references on scope attachments?? extending eye relief?? Also wondered if there would be difference between first focal and second focal plane scopes?
    Am picking up new glasses this coming week in Dunners and will head to H&F/GC and look through a few different scopes to gauge if there is any improvement or not.
    Not too frustrated yet as I can still hunt perfectly fine but with the increased emphasis on range time now that I’ve gone down the reloading path, I would like to at least knock out an obvious variable.
