What do you guys think about the side focus scopes for parallax?? Am I nuts-I actually like the older style of the adjustable objective better than the side focus. Now keep in mind that I am left handed. So in order to focus I must take my trigger finger hand to adjust-rather than my off hand. And when varmint hunting I always use some sort of front rest, so my off trigger hand is not used for support while shooting.

I am going to buy a new varmint scope. And I definitely want a rifle that has parallax adjutment. I am leaning toward the VX-3---------4.5X14 for a 223 rifle. And it is available with both styles of adjustment.

I would like to leave price out of the discussion and just talk about what you guys think are the real pros and cons between the two styles. Thanks, Tom.
