[QUOTE="MrMauser, post: 848962, member: 70926"] I visited this again for a short while on Saturday. I took the Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 and checked its parallax at 100 yards. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised that there was noticeable parallax error at this range. I moved a target back and forth in 5 yard increments until I finally found the parallax free range to be about 60 yards. I tested a different 3-9x40 Zeiss Conquest at 100 yards and found it to be perfect. I tried a third and found it to be off. I tried the Leupold VX-II and found it was also off (in addition, I battled when leveling this scope when I first mounted it before I found that the cross-hairs were not square to the turrets and leaned several degrees to one side). I didn't get the chance to see at what exact range these were focused, but regardless, I think some phone calls might be in order. [/QUOTE]
