    I sight my .22's at 25 metres and then check the drop at further ranges up to 80 metres...an 80 metre shot at a bunny is at it's extreme...and yeah, yeah we have all pinged off a lucky shot way beyond that.

    I doubt the markings are accurate - what you want is that the sight doesn't move around the view if you move your eye around - i.e. the whole picture should stay still (or near too it)

    I always set any parallax scope to infinity as I think they are a waste of time...in fact I try and avoid parallax scopes as they are just one more thing to blame when you miss.

    Yep thats it - so set it for the range you normal will shoot - also having your eye dead centre helps too!

    As spook says if its set wrong you can "aim" with your eye (and not the rifle) and completely miss -

    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Well, that's a change...I would have thought you would have said "how far can I throw a Waikato stubby"...in fact you have been plugging the brew that much lately I thought you had taken a job on as a rep for them.
