Here's the deal: I have a CZ527 bolt gun in .223, with a Bushnell Elite 4200 3-9x40 on it, that has no parallax adjustment.
I also have a stainless 580-series Mini-14 with a Bushnell Elite 3200 4-12x40 on it, that has an adjustable objective.
I'm thinking that though the nicer 4200 scope has discernably clearer glass, the CZ is the more accurate,longe range rifle, and would be better with the more powerful scope, that also has parallax adjustment, even though it's a slightly lower-end scope (I believe build quality is identical, the difference is in lens coatings/clarity ).
The headache would be pulling all the screws, cleaning off any Loc-tite, then re-mounting and re-Loc-titing them, and then having to re-zero them both.
Both rifle/scopes are currently dialed in nicely out to about 100 yards (never fired beyond that.)
I realize this is hardly critical, either way, this is mostly just fine-tuning and playing with toys, most of you can relate to that. But would it be worth the trouble, or should I leave well enough alone?
