So it seems that when shooting at 200m, I have better luck with the AO set to 100m. When I set the AO to 200m I have no idea where the rounds are going. I'm zeroed at 200, so when I place the transition from the thin/thick part of the multiX reticle on 100m targets I'm punching clover leaves. If I leave the objective at 100 and aim at a 200m target, I'm still punching 1moa groups at 200m. If I rotate the AO to 200m, rounds are all over the place....

Anyone seen this before?
 
The distance scale on the adjustable objective is for quick reference only. Look through the scope and turn the AO until your target is in focus. You can can confirm if there is a parallax error by moving your head up and down or side to side. There should be no shift between your reticle and target if you have adjusted it properly. Phil.
 
It's a Stevens 200 in 223 rem.

23gr H335 under a 55gr hornady SP w/Cann seated just off the lands.

As I said, at 100m setting, shooting 200m targets, I can observe the blurryness and the paralaxx error, but if I center the reticle in spite of this, I can put the rounds inside 1MOA. But if I adjust the AO to 200m, the paralax error is corrected, image is clear, but the rounds aren't hitting POA at all. Doesn't make sense so I'm wondering if the AO can impact the accuracy of the scope system.
 
adjusting the bell shouldnt change POI at all, it should just make the target crisper. I have a 3200 I bought a few years ago and I dont have any issues with what you are talking about. its a 5x15x50
