Would you buy this scope?

Actually parallax in yards, at least in America is quite useful. Yes I realize parallax really needs to be dialed in but in matches or on the clock it is certainly acceptable and faster to dial to the approximated yardage on the parallax knob that corresponds to the range finder or match card. Fine tuning it for when you have lots of time static shooting. In short, I prefer yards for parallax (here in America) which is a measure of distance and mils for the adjustments which is a measure of angle. The only match I have been to that was a complete shit show was with a bunch of fed boys that wanted to play in Meters but couldn't keep gear straight between the American standard of yard in rangefinders and dope cards and the target distances in meters. Unfortunately they are not interchangeable.

The numbers on the parralax knobs are nearly meaningless- they do not, except by coincidence; align with reality. If you want to have numbers that match reality for your ocular seating, you tape over the knob and write your own.

I view parallax like bore sighting. The number should get you "on paper" but you will still need to fine tune it. The numbers at best are a guess on how your own eye sees through the scope. If you dial to 500 meters for 500 yards, you should be able to tune it for parallax with a slight adjustment. It wouldn't be much.

500 meters is 546 yards. Are other scopes really small enough increments that you can tell the difference between a 500 yard parallax setting and 546?

Yards/Meters is close enough for parallax. Even at 1000 yards it’s only 85ish yards difference, which isn’t enough parallax error to matter, not to mention you’re probably out of numbers on the knob by then anyway.
