[QUOTE="lamiglas, post: 1310909, member: 11075"] If the scope has a PA adjustment, it is necessary to use it and adjust it at any range ( not looking to argue, just my opinion). If the scope does not have a PA adjustment, it is set from the factory for a specific range. I have heard alot of scopes are set at around 150 yards. I have taken several non PA adjustable scopes and set them up for mid range. How much it affects your poi changes at say 600 yards will depend on how consistent your cheekweld is etc. For example, using a NF with the PA purposely not adjusted for 100 yards the reticle will be all over the target depending on cheekweld position. However, if your cheek weld was perfect every time, you could still shoot close to center each time. This is nearly impossible to do, especially in field condtions. So bottom line, in my opinion, you can get away with no PA out to 500-600 yards for a good quality scope that is built with no adjustment. There will be some reticle movement at 600 yards, but the individual rifle/scope/shooter will have to determine the max distance they are capable of making acceptable hits on a repeatable basis [/QUOTE]
