[QUOTE="FTRshooter, post: 1814280, member: 112707"] The 3-24X42 is an awesome scope, exceedingly well suited for hunting. March makes them in two models, the 3-24X42 and the 3-24X52. The 42mm will have a more critical eyebox at higher magnifications, which is why it's also available in a 52mm objective for those who would be using the higher mags more often. For hunting, where you want a trimmer package I can surely see why the 42mm is the better choice, but that is a compromise. For the parallax issue, that is probably due to the high zoom ratio (8X) and is more apparent in the higher magnification and you might want to consider getting a March add-on focus wheel that will make the focus knob easier to manipulate and giving you greater focus granularity. No need to get the outer wheel, but the middle part would work great for you. I had the 3.5 inch focus wheel on my March-X because have arthritis in my left hand and I do go back and forth between 600 and 1000 yards to check the mirage before taking the shot and I had that specific distance painted on the wheel. Makes it very easy to go back and forth quickly. [/QUOTE]
