[QUOTE="rockwind, post: 1053875, member: 84735"] curious about something. i understand parallax and how it works (for the most part). as long as you get the 2 "focal planes" lined up, when you move your eye, the reticle should not move in relation to your target. however, i recently read an article about how when you change from bench shooting to prone shooting, your eye is in a different position on your stock and thus, you shoot lower. i thought the whole point of adjusting parallax was to fix this. however, i saw another video where (gunwerks) where someone went from bench to prone and the gun shot lower, so it appears to be true. i am sure i really should just say to myself "that is just the way it is, get used to it" however, if someone knew exactly why it is, it would be good to know.
