[QUOTE="chessman, post: 19103, member: 2451"] I live in the desert. I’m not too worried about rain getting into my nitrogen filled scope, so I removed the o-rings under the turret caps. On the 16x it was the right thing to do because I could barely feel the clicks. I will be putting them back into my 10x though because the adjustment is too sensitive and I hate having to dial the elevation back into the right spot every time I bump the knob. When I got the scopes I tested them by shooting a five shot group and then moving the group to zero at 100 yards. I have a target I like to shoot that is made up of five one-inch dots arranged like on dice and printed on a grid of ¼ inch squares. I shot one round into the center dot, then adjusted the windage and elevation the appropriate number of clicks to put the next round in the upper left corner while still sighting on the center dot. I placed one round in each dot this way, and then continued until I had five rounds in each dot. Twenty-five rounds later I had five shots in each dot, proving that the adjustments were truly ¼ MOA and that they repeated and returned to zero. I agree that the side parallax adjustment isn’t as robust as the rear adjustment, and I never have had any problem reaching back just a bit farther to adjust it anyway. [/QUOTE]
