Reading optics sources. Same answer. Yep.
I keep reading in so many places that maximum parallax error does NOT increase with distance.
It's a constant, determined by objective diameter.
Not an angle that diverges.
Max error is 1/2 objective diameter either way at any distance.
Error is constant so if expressed as MOA it decreases at distance. 1 inch off at 100 yards is about 1MOA. the same 1 inch of at 1500 feet is 0.2 MOA. An inch is an inch is an inch.
So many guys that should know better like the Leupold guy in the above video get it wrong.
Parallax error does not increase at distance.
For air rifle or 22lr shooters it's a big deal.
For hunters or long distance snipers or steel shooters it's negligable.
