Seems my scope target picture changes after a few shots. Not unfocused or mirage or fuzzy, just like a washed out photo. 3 Nikons & a Bushnell, all the same. I try to shoot early morning when it is cooler (?). Mounts on the ARs are one piece steel, 30/30 is 2 piece steel/Marlin 336. Usually 30-60 sec. between shots. AR hand guards are solid tube free float. Wondering if it is the Al. scope tube in steel mount installed in AC cool temp, then going out in the heat. Shooting line has a roof so no direct sunlite Targets are glossy paper but I've used the plain red targets and they do the same. When the color washes out, it's harder to see the POA. Changing focus doesn't solve it. Anybody else notice this?
Scope sight pic question.

See your eye doctor immediately! Not the guy that prescribed glasses, but an MD.
Been there, done that. Just had the corneas scraped this year but the astigmatism in right is coming back a bit. Had carotid cleaned a couple years ago - that 'curtain' effect is - well - different. Yes floaters but had them for years. Know I'm Red/green C.B., maybe ? I'll try setting up scope and look through it a while to see if problem occurs. Hadn't thoght that might be the problem. I'll also try black printed targets. Original thought was scope minutely defocuses due to pressure on tube. Nikons have reticle and side focus, reticle stays sharp and side focus doesn't solve the problem.

New lens coating really mess with color blindness. I don't use any scopes made since about 1990.
Been playing with the scope and my eyes. Pretty much decided it's my eyes. They are pretty sensitive in low level light but pupil closes slow. It's glare from the targets! Put one of those yellow tinted scope covers over it and bingo. Cataracts probably don't help much either. Now to find a pair of tinted shooting glasses.

I hope you have or will go see an eye doc. Cataracts are bad news. The subcapsular kind are much more difficult to remove the longer they progress. Sooner is better.
The only scopes I could use when my cataracts were bad had a light blue-ish lens coating. It's amazing how everyone's eyes see things differently.
