Thanks for all the ideas and information guys its fixed now it was those three set screws under the rubber, I just loosened those and moved the main part of the focus barrel as far as it would go(I guess the whole focusing assebly is as far as it will go now) as well as the scale half (which will only go as far as infinity) and tighted it down, now I can go a hair past telephone poles on the next block.
Thanks again.
