[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2535119, member: 796"] Strictly speaking, the dot is in the optical plane of the target (zero parallax) at only one range. However, the error effect is most pronounced if the zero parallax range is at long distance and you are shooting closer. In other words, if the parallax is preset for 100 yards and you are shooting at 20, the dot moves all over the target. It is optimum to get it set for the distance you are shooting, or at least not too much longer range. You don't have to spend a fortune, but you do need to be selective in matching your usage. One problem with dirt cheap is that the parallax distance varies from one sample to the next, so who knows what you get. [/QUOTE]
