Leopold VX1 4-12 and parallax
« on: June 08, 2006, 02:31:51 PM »
Been thinking about moving my 3-9 to my Remington 7600 and getting a 4-12 VX1.

Most scopes in the 4-12 range have parallax adjustment but the VX1 does not.  I do not really want it if not needed because it makes the scope so big.  Is anyone using one of these?  Is parallax a problem with this scope in this power?

Any rifle scope over 9X and any handgun scope over 7X in my opinion MUSTS have parallax adjustment. I will not own one without it. I've owned Leupold 12X and 4-12X scopes, both had the adjustable objectives and without them they would have been useless to me.

I have one and found that I must turn the power setting down to 3X to focus at close range like 25 yds. At 12X it is in focus at 100 yds and beyond. OK off the bench, but this could be a problem on a gun used for hunting.

With the kind of hunting I do, mostly calling fox at the edge of dark AO would be useless to me as everything is happening so fast I just do not have time to try and adjust an AO, I sure for very long range shooting at PDs or paper AO is really needed,but on my 3-12x40 Meoptas that I use on my .204,.223,.22-250 up to 350-400 yds on fox its not needed.
