Scopes and Firearms: December 16, 2007

Scopes for firearms usually have their parallax correction fixed at some distance like 100 or 150 yards. At whatever range has been set by the factory, there should be as little parallax as it is possible to have (in an optical sight you will never get rid of parallax entirely). And let’s be honest, a deer hunter doesn’t care if his bullet lands two inches to the right of his aim point – as long as it does the job he intended. Dirt E. Harry
