[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1167129, member: 12193"] Parallax error will increase with scope magnification. If you leave your scope on 4x or 8x for those quick shots you'll minimize the problem. You can take a rough measurement on the error for yourself. With your gun on a solid rest take aim at an object at the distance in question (say 250 yards). With your side focus set where you want it move your eye side to side in the eye box and see how much your reticle moves on the target. The amount of movement will vary based on scope magnification and how far off your parallax setting is from the actual distance. [/QUOTE]
