For the hunting that most of us do, I'd say we don't need "parallax control" built into our rifle scopes.
I, for one, don't want it. A scope with an Adjustable Objective has a shorter depth of focus than one w/o. A scope with the Side Focus/Parallax adjustment feature has even less. It's been my experience than when the buck of my dreams shows up, I'd better spend what time I have, which is often alot less than I'd like to have, getting a bullet into him as opposed to fiddling with my rifle scope.
It is said that the long range guys need such a feature.
Really ? The guy I consider to be one of the best of our long range hunters, Scenarshooter, often uses a 10X S&B, which doesn't have such a feature. That scope is set to be parallax free at 300 meters.
One can also special order scopes from Leupold with their parallax set for 400 yds., rather than the standard 150 yds. which most of their hunting scope are set for. E
