A few years ago, I wrote a lengthy article called Fundamentals of Riflescopes. Most of it is not very useful for you, but skim through it. You might pick a few useful things out of it: ILya

Koshkin, any information regardless of how remote it may be for me, is still useful lol. All of you guys are pretty awesome.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Alright so an update for everyone. I removed the barrel rail mount and replaced the guard with a brown one I had laying around. I then removed the scope, took the white backing off of the strips for the scope rings and reapplied them to said rings.
After that I put the rifle into a level and got the scope set back in. Once the scope was loosely clamped, I sat parallax to infinity, got prone and starting sliding the scope back and forth until i found no black ring and no haze/blur, doing what koshkin suggested about getting the reticle as crisp as i could get it. After adjusting the scope position (which turned out to be almost where I had it, just slightly forward) i started messing with the focus to get it dialed in. Then for final adjustments I started raising/lowering the cheek weld till I found a position that was comfortable and I was able to take my cheek off the rest and back onto it without a lot of adjustment. Finally, I went outside put the rifle on the ground and got into prone to take a look. Would ya know it? the picture has cleared up a lot and I am no longer getting blue/green haze or the "clear bubble" dancing around. Everything so far looks good. I do get a slight white haze but a minor adjustment to my cheek fixes it. It was raining today so tomorrow I will take it outside, shoot it a lot just to see if anything rattles loose, then re-tighten if needed and try to sight the scope back in! *fingers crossed!*

Thanks for the update.
I am glad it is looking better. The Viper is a very respectable scope, so once you get everything properly adjusted and set up, it will serve you well. Thanks ILya
