Do you know how little difference parallax adjustment makes? I've shot many scopes with no parallax adjustment from 50-1000 yards and it made no difference inside about 700-800 yards. I highly doubt your going to be shooting at a game animal with a sporter weight rifle at the distance it would make a difference. The 2.5-10X32 is a great scope for close to long range, if it needed a parallax knob NF would have added one. The scope was designed and tested by people who HAVE to make their shots count and they obviously didn't think they were missing out on anything. It's definitely over engineered for somebody just knocking down deer. </div></div>
I've had quite a shift with some in the 300-400 range.
And a sporter weight barrel doesn't negate long-range shots. An accurate rifle is an accurate rifle. I hunt out to about 600 or so. A rifle only needs to be capable of 1.25 MOA to make such a shot on most big game. My .280 AI shoots well below .5 MOA. I'd still prefer something in a 3.5-15, 3-12x or whatever. I have been considering a 2.5-10x32, but I haven't committed to it because it isn't what I want. If it suits you, that's all good and well. If not, well, its my money.
