[QUOTE="woods, post: 112098, member: 6042"] [ QUOTE ] The idea that there is no parallax problem you just need to have your eye in perfect line with the plane of the scope is odd. The whole idea is that the optics be user friendly and allow a bit of variation on the part of the user. [/ QUOTE ] I have had a couple of scopes in the past with a lot of parallax and reload for some of my friends rifles that have a lot of parallax. There is an easy way to make sure that you are lined up directly in line. If the scope is on your gun, just move the scope forward in the rings until you start to get that black circle when the eye relief becomes too great. Center the circle around the edges and you have lined everything up and negated parallax. If you can't move the scope, then move your head back on the stock until you can get the black circle and center it. Better to get a scope 10x or less and no parallax or buy a scope with an adjustable objective, but this helps you shoot smaller groups at the bench. [/QUOTE]
