Parallax for fox/ coyote hunting? .17 hornet

[Joshuajosh]

I’m picking up a .17 hornet this week and I’m debating what to put on top. First off I guess I should explain what I’m planning on using h rifle for, I’ll be hunting coyote and fox (mostly fox around my area) out to 300 yards, I will be closer hopefully if it’s a coyote.

I’m looking at a swfa 3-9 hd first but I was worried about the lack of an adjustable parallax, I calculated the maximum amount of parallax at 100 yds with a 125m set parallax and it’s not too bad, but I’m also not very experienced when it comes to this sort of thing, let me know if you have any advice! I have a nightforce nxs 2.5-10x42 and I’d love to get another but I need to stay cheaper with this rifle!

Many thousands of coyotes and other critters have been shot with fixed parallax scopes. That might be the absolute last thing you need to worry about.

I'd focus on the fundamentals of marksmanship, and get as much trigger time as possible.

Yup, I’ve never noticed it a whole lot at those ranged anyways, I use spotlights while hunting at night and it’s typically too foggy to even see what the animal is at 250-300… and parallax won’t give me issues at 200 I assume

Keep it simple and don't over think it......At the end of the day it's a relative short range coyote gun.....

On a low power scope like that it’s not a big deal at all. It can be for really close stuff but it’s still usable
