Parallax Compensation in Scopes

Gunfinder Magazine

Parallax refers to an aiming error that occurs when the shooter does not look straight through the scope but rather at a slight angle. The reticle is then not projected onto the actual point of impact - this leads to a deviation in the point of impact and the shooter misses the target.

In most scopes, there is no shift in the point of impact up to a distance of 100 meters, even if one does not look directly through the optics. However, when shooting at greater distances, the scope must be adjusted to ensure it is parallax-free even at long ranges. This is especially important for long-range shooting. 

The assurance of parallax compensation is achieved through the manufacturing process.
