[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1343205, member: 64108"] If the eyepiece isn't adjusted correctly you won't be able to have the focus and parallax adjusted properly. The image can be in focus but not parallax free, or the image is parallax free but blurry. Some scopes are very finicky about this for example NF ATACR and some NXS, there are threads about the issue. "I don't know why magnification would effect parallax either" ?? The 3-15x is what causes the parallax, scopes with less zoom/power(3-9x) typically don't have a side focus/parallax adjustment because they don't need it. The image plane moves and is not on the same plane as the reticle as you change power, so in effect you have 2 sights(sort of like lining up iron sights) instead of a scope crosshair.(not exactly but you get my simple explanation) [/QUOTE]
