[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2515027, member: 118816"] Using a blanket statement like that can be somewhat misleading. What Vortex scopes are you talking about. I will agree with you to a point on the models with non-adjustable parallax where the parallax like all like scopes are set for 100 yards. As for eye relief, they are no different than any other rifle scope especially when you try to put a short scope on a long action rifle. It simply does not allow for adequate movement to adjust eye relief. Another consideration is what position you will be shooting in. Eye relief varies greatly depending upon your position. Most people sight in their rifles from a bench rest position or some variation of it, then try shooting standing, kneeling, sitting or prone and find the eye relief way off. This is a given. Different shooting positions require different eye relief, there is no one size fits all when it comes to eye relief. Set the eye relief to the position that you shoot most of the time. If you are not in that position realize that you might have to move your head a bit to get a clear reticle. [/QUOTE]
