[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1099824, member: 35183"] The reason I mention the link between magnification range and parallax correction, is that I have had many 3x scopes and several fixed 4x or 6x scopes, and none had as bad a parallelism issue as the 3-15x Minox scope (which happened to be the most expensive scope I had bought at the time). In addition, the scope had a serious chromatic aberration (color fringing on high contrast areas) . The store I bought it from asked it I had dialed the scope to maximum magnification before tightening the rings and I said no. They said, release the scope, dial it up to max magnification and re-tighten, then report back. Following this procedure, which I had never heard of before, resolved the color fringing but made no difference to the movement of the reticle on the target if I moved my eye. I was getting about 2MOA of reticle shift at 100 yards with no way to correct it. I returned the scope and that was when I added some more money and bought the 4-16x50 PST. [/QUOTE]
