    How is your scope graduated? Most newer scopes have graduations in MOA. Eg they will have a number every 4th hash mark. So if it says up 3.25 MOA then dial one hash mark past the 3. Rather than...

    This. About the best bang for buck hunting scope you will find. No to parralax not important for shooting deer at normal ranges. The 4-14 are closer to 5x than 4 and are a bit much mag in the...
