[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 630695, member: 10291"] I had a VXIII 4.5x14 40mm with a 1" tube that did not have an AO. It was a Boone and Crockett. I'm not sure where the factory set the parallax range on this scope but my tests for parallax (circular head movement) revealed no parallax with this scope between 100 and 600 yards. No problem shooting very tight groups out at 500 yards with this scope. I bought a VXIII LR with 30mm tube, 40mm, same power, B/C, with a side parallax adjustment for one of my other rifles. With this scope I had to constantly adjust parallax at all ranges. Way too cumbersome, and time consuming to constantly adjust for parallax which was very necessary with this scope, even for relatively small changes in distance. For my medium range hunting I like the speed and simplicity of the non AO model. I also pay a lot of attention anyway to having my eye centered in the scope which insures minimum parallax under any circumstances. At higher powers and longer ranges, an AO is a necessity for accurate shooting. [/QUOTE]
