Seeing the tip of your barrel trough your scope!

[borealbushman]

I have a Mod.70(1980) 375H&H,24'' heavy barrel with Leupold LPS 1.5x6x42.
At the 1.5 setting and up to 3x I can see the barrel.Now if the iron sights were on that would be even more distracting.
Is that inherent to any scope with a 42mm objective.I tried a Swarovski 1.5x6x42 and it's more or less the same.
Do you find that annoying?

It's quite normal to see the sights or end of the barrel with the scope on a low-power setting, the size of the objective doesn't have much to do with it. It's nothing to worry about, just get used to it.

Cut the barrel down. LOL

Cut the barrel down. LOL

That's too extreme; just bend the barrel down until you cant see it. Problem solved.

I looky at my toes and see my nose.
When driving, if I looky too close ahead, I see me hood.
Focus on what you wish to see.

I suppose that's better than seeing the tip of someone else's barrel through your scope.

Would higher rings do anything for this?

If it really bothers you, just keep the magnification above 3x.

Your gun and scope are broken. Send them to me for "repair". As soon as I've fixed the problem I'll send them back....

 

[Why not?]

You are probably getting the point. Just ignore the barrel, aim, and shoot!
