hey guys,

Well, Today i went and bought a Nikion M223 2-8x32 with the nikoplex rectical. I was rushed at lunch so I brought it home and went back to work.

When i got home i looked thru the scope and noticed that the cross hairs are kinda fuzzy. The sight picture is amazing, really clear. But the crosshairs are really fuzzy. I checked my eyes by looking thru my Millett scope and they are fine.

I know not to many people here have the M series of scope, But have any of you had fuzzy cross hairs from Nikon before?
 
The ring on the eyepiece that turns is the focus for the reticle.

The instructions that came with the scope should explain how to focus it.

Point the scope in the sky, and turn it back and forth till the crosshairs are crisp.
 
If that didn't make sense;

A reticle is the crosshair or aiming point in your field of view in a riflescope. To use a rifle scope reticle properly you must first focus it for your eye. Point your properly mounted rifle scope at the sky or a blank wall with the scope at its highest power. The eyepiece is adjustable on almost all rifle scopes. Some have a locking ring to prevent inadvertent movement. Loosen the locking ring and turn the whole eyepiece in or out a couple of full turns at a time until the scope crosshair is clear and sharp for your eye. Tighten the lock ring. On a fast focus (FF) eyepiece simply turn the ring until the reticle is sharp. On a fast focus eyepiece this may be only a fraction of a turn. Loosen the locking ring first, and tighten afterwards if applicable. Not all fast focus (FF) eyepieces have locking rings.
