[QUOTE="CrankyYankee, post: 2421150, member: 90145"] Plinker147... The 14" group was with a NF ATACR with the parallax properly set, then plopped down on a backpack when tried to simulate field conditions. When i shot from the bench with a rest or prone from a bipod, I was sub 10" (remember, these are cold bore shots regardless of time of year. I've recorded data from more than 10 shots from 30° to 90°, rain or shine, regardless of wind). If I could do that with my Steiner 2-10x50, I'd be all set. But before I do that, I'm just gaining some info to see if I'm kidding myself and NEED a scope with side parallax, or if the Steiner is do-able. As others stated above, it's 1 more thing to consider when taking a shot, but if i don't NEED it, I'd rather not have it on the scope. I've had buddies make bad shots when the side parallax knob got rolled somehow. WildRose... that's another thing to consider. Again, thank you everyone for all the replies. More knowledge through discussion is better to make an informed decision than ignorance. [/QUOTE]
