I believe there are few scopes where the parallax is accurate. Neither of my Hawkes were.
News to me, on all of mine not just air rifle but powder as well they are good. From Tasco to Zeiss I don't think I have one like the OP is talking about....seems lazy to me.How hard can it be to make one correctly, I think I would refuse the product if it was that out of wack.
My Athlon Talos at 25 yards reads as 17 on the wheel.

Once you adjust the diopter to focus the reticle to your eye all parallax calibration is out the window. Generally, the parallax cal. is only good at zero diopter; simple physics common to all scopes.Tom
Every AO scope I have has that adjustment fully screwed in from the factory. I'm betting most people don't know it's there.

Apparently people dont. And it won't be out of focus, the range will be off.
