I recently bought a bolt action .223 that I plan to try to get some distance on. The longest nearby range is 300 yards, so that is going to be my max (for now).
I have an AR that I shoot out to 200 yards, topped with a 2-7 scope pre-set at 100 yards parallax. No problems with parallax at that range, that I can tell.
I have a Vortex Crossfire 4-12 scope that I can probably use on the bolt action. It's also set at pre-set at 100 yards parallax. However, I am thinking of buying a Burris E1 Fullfield 4.5-14, for the extra bit of magnification and the more precise reticle. Plus, it has adjustable parallax. Also considering a Vortex Crossfire 4-16 with adjustable parallax.
My question: At what range does an adjustable parallax come in handy? Once I go to 300-500 yards, is the adjustable parallax a necessary item, or can I stick with a scope pre-set at 100 yards parallax?
Thanks
