Arrow everyone needs to watch this video

check out this video. Totally changes the way I think about scope mounting and basically eliminating parallax errors.

How did you mount them before?
from what I saw, it's basic scope mounting.
Your head must be in the same position each time, and the scope must be mounted where your eye is positioned, not your eye where the scope is set.

I think it's a great video. I've always mounted them so I get a nice clear picture when i shoulder the rifle. Never have I purposefully mounted them so I get a "vignette". I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the link!

That's what I'm kinda gettin at. I, and most likely the mojority of shooters here, haven't mounted our scopes in the way to achieve the black ring.

Thanks for sharing the link. The setup that she talks about is very much similar to how you setup and use a device called a "No Peep" or "Anchor Sight" on a bow....

I might give this a try, not really keen on losing any field of view on a hunting rifle but on the bench I think it could be a handy thing to do.

It is what I have been doing for years. Nice to see that I have been doing something right.

That's my only apprehension is losing my FOV! I guess it depends on what you want more, zero parallax or field of view

To me, it seems like an option for avoiding parallax error in a fixed objective scope and or saving time by not having to dial out the error with an adjustable objective scope. Not really an issue for most hunters or target shooters in my opinion, but what ever works for ya.
