Parallax?

[coop2564]

How effective is the pull the eye back until black ring and center crosshair in black ring method for scopes that have no adjustment, out to 600 yds? Anyone have testing on its effectiveness or seen a paper on it? Truth or myth?

It works like a champ. Back in the 1970's Robert Klienguenther guaranteed 1/2" for three shots from his rifles with correct loads using this method. My K14 is the only thing I have from many years ago. It's on it third or forth barrel.

It must work, this redneck has been doing it for years. Hit a milk jug a while back with a 3-9 mildot scope turned down to 5x and useing the third dot.
Cheek weld is real important!

Works very well, best way to remove the effects of parallax in a hurried situation

If it works so well why buy parallax adjustment scopes that seems easier than bobbing head and turning nobs?

Lol, so you can clear up your view

Do you really want an answer? Your question is essentially why is a adjustable parallax better than a fixed parallax...

"Adjusting parallax" is probably the most misused and misunderstood phrase in the shooting sports.

No adjustment on the scope fixes the root cause.

The root cause creates the same parallax problem with metallic sights, both open and aperture versions. The cure is the same as with scopes.
