This is an antelope shoulder hit with a 115 gr vld out of a 240 Wby.... notice the neat hole through the scapula at the tip of the knife... folded like he was electrocuted Sorry for the thread hi-jack.... VLDs suck for killing.... Just ask those who don't use them.... - Greg Success is found at the intersection of planning, hard work, and stubbornness.

Works fine at range, and vs barn pigeons and red squirrels. There's a downside to a tolerant eyebox - increased potential for parallax error. Consistent mount and cheek weld are good habits to develop. Not just with shotguns.

Consistent mount and cheek weld are good habits to develop. Not just with shotguns. You're definitely right about that, and I appreciate the advice. I was contemplating how to balance those two things. The first is to get a scope with parallax adjustment, second is to shoot only at distances within your scope's parallax setting, third is to use a scope with a smaller objective. The non side focus scopes I have all have parallax set to 150yds, which is near my maximum hunting distance. I also plan to use a 40mm objective at largest going forward.
