[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1226620, member: 74902"] I use a Zeiss scope with side parallax. To the above thoughts would like to add that when focusing the eyepiece on the reticle, it is a very good idea to look away from the scope and let your eye focus on a distant object for a couple seconds, then look back into the scope and focus the eyepiece a little more. Do this "looking away" frequently when adjusting the eyepiece. reason is your eyes tend to try and focus things for you that are out of focus, if you look at it long enough. If you look at the reticle constantly while focusing the eyepiece on the reticle, there is a good chance it will NOT be in focus the next time you try to use it after your eyes have relaxed and readjusted. I also setup the Zeiss for parallax free at 100 yards and put a small piece of tape there on the knob so I can easily verify where it is set for close range hunting. [/QUOTE]
