I got really lucky and only had to adjust my scope 1 click up and 2 clicks left to zero. The ultimate upper kit is definitely worth it. Actually for the quality, I would say it is the best value going right now for an AR. I put mine on an Anderson lower and the fit is so tight I have to tap the pins in and out with a hammer and delrin punch. I love the scope. It is not a precision shooting reticle which is fine with me. This is my primary big game rifle and this reticle is more for speed than minute precision. I am sure if I took the scope off my other Grendel and put it on this one it would shoot sub MOA groups also but the Strike Eagle is a better match for the rifles intended purpose and it will easily allow shots on Antelope, deer, and elk out to 500 yards.
There is no parallax adjustment on that optic. To shoot good groups, all you have to do, is "turkey neck" (as described earlier in the thread) toward the rear of the but stock.
When the "black" starts to creep in around the edges, just make sure that you are doing the following three things the same every time. Center the "black" ring, level the reticle, break the shot on the exact same point of aim. 8x is plenty of magnification to get a really great refined point of aim. I bet with some practice, you get inside an inch quickly.
