Yes, I do, if your shooting technique and positional awareness/consistent cheek weld are near perfect. But I would still prefer side parallax adjustment, even for 600 and under on a scope with less magnification if possible. It seems like from 50 to 600 yards, there is more parallax correction needed than from 600 to infinity. So I think it might be even more important in that yardage range. Especially if multiple shooters could be using the rifle. And an "Ajustable objective" on the front bell is still adjusting. Just on the front vs the side.I agree with you on that Lancekenyon, but do you think you could put the Steiner 2-10x50 without a parallax adjustment on your rifle and still connect confidently out to 600 yards?
I missed the part of shooting a 14" group at 600 yards. Honestly, if that is the case, you currently have no business shooting at game at 600 yards. That is a 2.3MOA group. Or, a 300-350 yard max distance on deer-sized game. And that probably doesn't include varying environmental factors either.
An 8" group is the max in my opinion for hunting. Whether you shoot the 8" at 200 or 1200, that is the determining factor on where your distance limit should be adhered to.
I have plans to build a true short/lightweight 600 yard rifle, probably in 6.5x47L.
The scopes I have been looking at are:
S&B PMII 1-8×24 Short Dot Dual CC (no parallax adjust, set for 100yds)
March F 1-10×24 (side parallax)
If the March Compact 1.5-15×42 would be released in a FFP, that would be in the running too. Even if it went to a 1.9-15×42 (most March FFP are 8x erectors).
