[QUOTE="BMcKell, post: 571288, member: 5091"] When you get ready to shoot, Move your head around a little and see if your cross hairs move. That's parallax. Then adjust it to bring the cross hair and the target into the same focal plane. When it is, then the crosshair won't move. As others have said, the parallax is not a focus. I would recommend shooting prone with a bipod and rear bag. Your point of impact will change when going from a bench to prone. Benches get too heavy to pack around when hunting :) Alot can happen between you and 1760 yards. Anytime you make a hit from that range it takes alot of skill and a little luck. Practice alot shooting across canyons, in different winds and terrains and you will get a feel for what different winds will do to you. The arc of your bullet goes so high when shooting that far and sometimes you will run into a wind that you just can't see. It can kick your butt at any time. Sorry for rambleing on, just thought of a couple things to add to the other great posts. [/QUOTE]
