[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1166743, member: 30743"] No, it won't make a drastic difference. How much difference it makes depends upon how well you have your eye centered on the scope for the 250 yd shot. If it's perfectly centered then there won't be any parallax. Parallax only becomes a problem when your eye isn't aligned properly with the scope and (not or) the parallax adjustment of the scope is off. In your given scenario I doubt you could induce more than 1" of parallax error, not enough to worry about. On most hunting rifles I think it's kind of silly to even have a parallax adjustable scope, they simply aren't needed and add complexity. However, this is the long range hunting forum and I'll concede that for true long range hunting parallax adjustable scopes are required. Fiddling around with parallax on short range shots like 150-250 yds isn't needed though. [/QUOTE]
