I put those pics together a few years ago, figure I gotta use them every now and then to justify having them taking up photo hosting space!

After I started experimenting with parallax in college, I started wondering if maybe that wasn't a contributor for why so many factory rifles have gotten a bad rap for inaccuracy over the years. It makes such a pronounced difference in shot placement reliability that it'd be really easy for a fixed parallax scope that's either improperly focused at the factory or shot at a range other than it's factory setting, or an AO or SF scope that doesn't have the adjustment labeling timed correctly, guys could throw really bad groups even from really good rifles and really good glass.
