[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 99146, member: 3"] The only real use I can find for the numbers on the parallax adjustment is as an indicators that I'm moving the adjustment... if the number changes position I'm moving the knob/ring. I give no thought or concern to the actual value of the number. When I adjust parallax I try to always set to one "stop" value and then creap-up on the correct setting by observing the actual reticle movement on the target while constantly moving my eye behind the objective (no contact with the rifle during this check/setting procedure). Once I'm convinced that the parallax is correct (no apparent movement of the reticle on the target) I begin to shoot and at that point there is no need to check the numbers on the parallax setting (I alread know the distance if it's a requirement either via laser or known measured (KD) range values). There is a certain amount of slack in the parallax setup (side "focus") and if you ever bother to check the number you'd probably see a significant amount of "error" induced just by how you approach (clockwise vs counter-clockwise)the parallax free setting. My 2 cents on the subject. [/QUOTE]
