I'm not asking to get flamed because I didn't buy scope X, scope Y, or scope Z. I'm just trying to figure out a solution (if there is one) for a parallax problem with a 2-6x28 compact tactical (name not withstanding) scope.
I laser bore sighted the scope at 100yds on 3x. As I rolled the magnification up to 6x, the laser dot seemed to move to the left. I know, actually the crosshairs moved to the right. As I rolled the magnification down, everything came back into line.
I have read several articles on parallax that I think inferred that the scope could possibly be out of line in the mounts or the actual lenses could be out of line. They also said that with "high magnification" scopes, the Parallax problem could also appear as being out of focus. This is not the case for me. My problem is windage drift.
Dose anyone have any useful input, or suggestions. I had thought about zeroing it on 6x at 100yds and leave it there. The rifle is a 5.56 AR-15 intended for home defense (the intended purpose of 2x) and close range hunting.
