[QUOTE="villagelightsmith, post: 1496605, member: 68421"] His acknowledgment of error helps the rest of us learn. It sets an example. We all screw up from time to tome, and it does a body good to keep that in mind. Back to the original question: I would not totally discount parallax. And when changing magnification and parallax settings, scopes can do strange things. Another gunny and I one day filled a van with guns and scopes and headed for the range. No ammo, just optics. We set up Zeiss test patterns, print samples, and whatever else we could think of at various yardages. We got a lot of "Beware the man with only one gun ..." comments, couldn't come up with a real answer, and let the jokers go untaught. We forgot the words "Research, Optics." or we could have put up a sign and been left alone. When shooting, I enjoy a conversation break. This was serious. I can tell you that we learned more about scopes and our eyes on that day than we had in a combined century of hacking it on our own without the single-minded purpose. Gary's gone now, but I still treasure that day. [/QUOTE]
