[QUOTE="gebhardt02, post: 1138899, member: 12695"] Thanks for the question. The elevation and windage turrets come in either mils or MOA with reticles to match. The parallax is marked in meters, but this isn't an issue at all if you range objects in yards. Here is why; the parallax is extremely forgiving due to the manufacturing of the scope body and the optical design. Everybody I've spoken with that has used one of these scopes has told me that past about 300 yards/meters, the parallax doesn't need to be messed with nearly as much as any other scope, and the numbers are actually correct and doesn't change with the temperature. The depth of field on the scope is quite large and while the parallax is indeed working as it should, target clarity is easily achieved even if the number isn't exactly spot on. This is part of what makes this Kahles scope excellent, you don't need to fiddle with the parallax as much as you might otherwise do. In competition, PRS stuff, if I have a target array that spans from 300 out to about 700 yards, I'll just set the parallax for the middle distance and not even mess with it, and I'm getting my hits. Even while hunting the open spaces of MT, I set my parallax for 300 yards and only mess with it if I use my scope to get a better view of an animal that is way out there. Recently I was hunting with a good friend and we saw some elk at what we guess was close to 3000. My 10X45 LRF bino maxed out at around 1600 and that was to a point about half way to the elk. I was still able to see the spikes on the little bull at that distance when he turned his head. Parallax was adjusted for best target resolution for that distance. When we got up to move I put it back to 300. I hope this helps answer your question. Even though technically the markings are for meters, that shouldn't be a concern, the numbers will line up right where you expect them to. Geb [/QUOTE]
