This is really good information, and not at all what my dealer has to say - but then, he'd like me to buy the expensive 30 mm version.

I NEVER shoot at long range. Most shots will be under 100 yards, in dark and grimpen low light conditions, in my own woodland. I need all the light gathering I can get. I am drawn to the 56 mm scopes but - I'm worried about parallax problems at short range with a big objective lens. Am I talking complete balderdash?

I tell you, this is not easy. I hope the 3 - 9 x 40 Docter is going to be OK. In any case, I'm looking for another scope, and it has to be right.

This forum is a God-send.
