[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1923383, member: 2736"] The marks are just a reference point and many times not that accurate. One reason the newer scopes have the parallax adjustments on the side instead of the objective bell is to be able to make adjustments on the fly. (Side Focus) It is not unusual for the yard marks to be off somewhat, so you have to adjust at the distance you plan to shoot to get the best adjustment. Many of the older premium scopes did well if you adjusted them at a known distance and just used them without re adjusting for hunting within reasonable distances. So for best accuracy I recommend adjusting at all distances. Some people re mark the parallax knob to the real settings. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
