I must have an Adjustable Objective to avoid the parallax error of many fixed objective scopes, often factory set for 100 or even 150yds. I do shoot those distances, and farther with 22s but most is closer than 100yds. I have enough trouble without having to deal with needless parallax issues.
I never had a rifle scope with parallax corrector and I never felt the need to have it.
Does it help for shots at 30-100 yards?
I can see the most of them don't have this feature... then I suppose it'is not essential. Am I righ or wrong?
In any case, thank you fot your advice.
I dont shoot in early morning or late day light so the Huge objectives are of no use for me, and they set the scope up too high for a good cheek rest. My 40mm objectives are just fine.
I shot in early morning or late day, I love 56 mm objective and very bright lenses.
My current 3-12x is good at 50yds, the 4-16X is better and the 20x better yet, and for even farther. The variables can be turned down though after trying 'em out I cranked 'em back up. They work fine down there, I like the magnification (aim small/miss small).
Only ones in my live I tried to use a 6.5-18x42 I hated it.
I know what reticle I like for what I do, probably pretty meaningless to you; but I have the crosshair c/w mil-dots on one now and think I can have the best of worlds by having such.
Well... I'm thinking about Mil-dot just because I believe is one of the best to use without turn continuously the turrets.
In the meantime I'm thinking how much big could be the dots at 100 or 200 yards? May be they can cover completely a small targer.
Do you think these new new kind of Mil-dots reticle will avoid this problem?
I have been pleasantly surprised by the optical quality of newish scope offerings, even at the lower end of the pricing structure. So much that many of my old favorite El Paso Weavers are now going on the gun show table. Its a new world for me to venture into but hits are always better than misses.
I know it but not well enough.
Long time ago it was more easy, good quality scopes like Zeiss, Swarovsky, Smith and Bender etc. costs four times more then medium quality.
In the last 20 years a lot of things change, top brands like Zeiss has got three different lines, entry level, medium and top.
Today many new brands offer good quality and services for half price, or less, of the famous brands.
It will be not an easy choice for me, this is because I opened this thread.
Thank you for your suggestions. :bthumb:
