[QUOTE="theo98, post: 1057091, member: 71181"] Scott, A standard (non-adjustable parallax) VX-3 has a parallax correction pre-set at 100yds. I didn't realize what optical advantage I was missing with my first LR scope, the VX-III 3.5-10x50, until I obtained the VX-6 3-18x50 (parallax adjustable). Adjustable parallax not only gets you tack sharp FOV clarity at all ranges, but also locks in your rectile on your visual POI. Close in (50yds in \ 150-200yds out), Any head movement with my VX-III created errors in drilling the same hole. Now with my VX-6 parallax adjustment set, I can precisely place a POI where my non-moving fine duplex reticle is! Out beyond 300 yds, the parallax is not as critical, but adjustment in the VX-6 still has helped me to shoot .5 MOA groups at 600 yds! Spend a few $$ more now and you will be well set for greater accuracy at your intended ranges!:) [/QUOTE]
