[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2421448, member: 118816"] Parallax adjustment is critical for long range shooting. Scopes without a parallax adjustment are set at the factory for 100 yards. Anything closer or beyond 100 yards your eye has to be perfectly centered to make a good shot. Adjustable parallax scopes internally adjust the parallax so that at the given range it;s adjusted to allows for a slight off center condition of the eye to not make a difference in the bullet impact. Notice I said [B]sligh[/B]t off center. One cannot get sloppy and expect the parallax adjustment to compensate for their carelessness. If you don't have time to adjust or forget to adjust for the distance as long as your eyeball is [B]perfectly centered[/B] it won't make a difference. The more the range varies the less off center eyeball is allowed before the bullet is going to go it's way, not the way you wanted it to go. Parallax is critical at all ranges. Eye centered in the scope eyepiece is critical at all ranges. 1/64th of an inch off center can send your bullet out to LA LA Land at 600 yards. [/QUOTE]
