Re: has the PH parallax knob changed?
I believe they are coming out with new parallax markings for the scopes. At least the ones I saw at SHOT show did.

This modification (below) was on the table last year, but I haven't heard any updates.

Would love to see what comes of this.

Re: has the PH parallax knob changed?
there is a picture floating around on the forum. It's a new knob and it does not have any numbers, just a triangle shape that looks like a "sound volume" adjustment

Re: has the PH parallax knob changed?
Does anybody actually look at the knob when they adjust parallax? I always look through the scope at the target when adjusting. Scopes I have used in the past with yardage marks were usually wrong anyway. The lack of markings on my PH 5-25x doesn't bother me, but I can see where some people would want them as a reference.

Re: has the PH parallax knob changed?
I'm with redeyefry, on this. I shoot lefty, and haven't looked at the parallax numbers in years. It's way over on the other side of the scope, from my shooting position. Are shooters using the dial as an optical rangefinder to determine their elevation drop? I think it's funny as well that my Mil/Mil Razor has parallax marked in yards, where meters would have been more along the design of the scope.

Re: has the PH parallax knob changed?
It bothered me when I owned them. In tactical comps you don't always get the luxury of laying there fiddling with the focus of your scope. If there's a stage that I know I'm going to have to shoot targets at 300 yards it's nice to dial the knob to 300 which is close enough for this use, then when the buzzer goes I'm moving and shooting, not trying to get the target in focus or realizing I'm at one end of the adjustment or the other.

I just talked with Chris and this will be the new style and you can send in your scope if you choose to and get one put on.Upgrade should be ready in a few months. Don't know if I'll even bother. I like to tune mine by eye, there is a lot of shooting errors caused by not setting your parallax correctly. I myself can find it faster looking through the scope Vs fiddeling with the knob first.

Re: has the PH parallax knob changed?
Hasn't bothered me. I actually prefer to sharpen the focus visually.
DogboneS, mils aren't metric, just expressed similarly in a decimal format. Whatever units, whether meters or yards, that are used to mark the parallax knob aren't related to the reticle/turret style.

I feel the same way when hunting. Only eliminating 90% of the parallax instead of 100% won't cause a miss until the ranges get very long. Even when not shooting, being able to look down and visually check that it's set to a reasonable distance so it won't be all blurry when you shoulder it gives me peace of mind. I ended up putting a couple dots of paint on mine for that purpose.

Re: has the PH parallax knob changed?
I really hope this comes out. I think there maybe something wrong with my knob though, I can only use about a quarter turn of the knob everything else is out of focus. At least if the knob comes out I can see what they think the focus range of the knob should be.... Anybody else with this problem?

Sounds like the same problem some of the socal guys were having. Scope needs to go back for repair.

Paul told me at the Shot Show that they didn't like to break into a perfectly good scope to RR a knob, and the price hasn't been set yet.

Yup, of all the things discussed with the PR, the markings (or lack of) on the parallax knob was <span style="text-decoration: line-through"><span style="color: #FF0000">ever</span></span>never an issue. With the PR, when you grab the knob with your left hand your thumb tells you distance-away for far away; back for targets back towards you.
If you are looking at numbers printed on a parallax dial when you are adjusting it, you are doing it wrong.
