[QUOTE="Guest, post: 83693"] Good information. One thing to note is that not all a/os have lock rings! Leupold learned the importance of the lock ring on their later BR-D model and added a second spring to try to keep the BR shooters happy. Didn't work - keeping them happy that is.... So we can safely say parallax exists in all scopes when viewing at distances outside of the parallax free zone - usually 100yds on North American hunting scopes. If your shooting at 300 yards plus and are doing it for score on targets you want to eliminate parallax unless you like giving your competitors who have A/Os or Side focuses the advantage [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Next time your at the range bag your gun and check out the effects of parallax at the different yardages! You'll be surprised, but look to 300 + yards to see the real impacts. You can see them with your 6-20x set at any power in its range. If you like you can even compare or measure the degree of movement at the different powers not only at the max power.... If you can fix your eye to be at the same location each time you pull the trigger, parallax is not an issue. Unfortunately, this is impossible!!
