Anything over 12x it almost needs to be parallax adjustable. I prefer adjustable on anything bigger than a 3-9x40. The only scopes I currently have in the 15-16x magnification range are a sig tango 4 4-16x44, and an athalon midas 4-16x44.
The athalon has a very short depth of field like you describe yours as being.
The sig is pretty good. If I set the focus to 100 yards and the power to 4x, it is in reasonable focus from about 7 yards to infinity. With the power set to 16x it is in reasonable focus down to about 50 yards. If you needed sharp focus on 16x and less than 50 yards you can adjust it down.
I have had other 3-15 and 4-16 scopes but I don't remember any of them with enough detail to make a recommendation.
