    I've had a couple of emails about this, and I'm afraid I have to disagree strongly with Andrew. There is noticeable parallax beyond 200 yards if your scope is parallax set for about 100 to 150 yards as most are. Yes, you can minimise it by keeping your eye in the centre but to say a non parallax adjustable scope is suitable out to 1000 yards is irresponsible. On large animals you can get away with one to about 500 yards, if you're very careful. It certainly is not ok to go banging away at game animals to 1100 yards with a non parallax adjustable scope, there is too much potential error. Do what you want on paper, but leave the game animals alone at those longer ranges until you have the gear to do them justice.
