[QUOTE="rcoody, post: 1124030, member: 91090"] I have scopes with and without parallax adjustment. It depends on what you use it for. Long range and targets I want the parallax adjustment. For just a standard deer rifle you are not planning to shoot over 300 or 400 yrs its just something else to mess with. On my deer rifle I have a vx-6 2X12. no parallax adjustment, thick crosshairs and illumination. One less thing to worry with when you are taking the shot. South Georgia so 300 yrds would be a long shot. If you had a parallax adjustment and were like me playing around in the stand looking at things way off and suddenly realized there was a deer 75 yrds out in the corn field there you are with the parallax focused at 500 yrs and you swing over there on that deer and its a blur. On the other hand if I am at the range I have the vx-6 4X24 and 6X42 fine crosshairs and no illumination Tmoa. I want to have parallax adjustment and be able to focus in on that target to max clarity. Same if I am taking a long range shot at game. I use one of these scopes. The scopes without parallax adjustment have a deeper depth of focus where the parallax adjusted scopes have a much narrower and clearer depth of focus. Both have their place. [/QUOTE]
