It varies by scope & price. Most of my inexpensive scopes can have the parallax set at the higber magnification and still be in focus as I decrease the magnification. I never trust shown yardage on this price level scope.

Mike,

This scope doesn't have an adjustable objective with marked distances. It is "fixed" and no distance is given in the specifications. I removed the locking ring on the objective and set it at 50' on 4.5X magnification. The parallax error free distance seems to change significantly on other magnification settings and I was curious if that was true for all scopes or a hallmark of a cheaper scope. Possibly something that becomes more exaggerated when the objective is adjusted to such a short distance as I have done? I am okay with it because I can use the magnification level to eliminate parallax error at even shorter distances it seems.

Thanks.

The 2 scopes I ordered are 'out for delivery' today.

Umarex is also in Alabama, right?

Not sure.... don't think so.

Mine are coming from Fort Smith, AR.

Update:
Tracking now says package delivered. I guess I'll see them on my lunch break in 40 minutes.

my $11 walther scope just came and.... "dang"! them some thick @@@ cross hairs!

Ah, Arkansas, lol!

I checked the tracking on mine and they are indeed in Arkansas

Kudos on the packing Umarex.... 2 blister packs surrounded by packing paper all tidy in a box.
One will go on a 1954 Marlin 22lr and the other will go on a Mendoza RM377.

I did that also. 
I marked where one of the groves was the way the scope came.
Then removed the locking ring.
Then turned the objective so the image was clearest at 54 feet and marked the new location of that same grove. 
This was about 1/2 turn out.
Then put the locking ring back on making sure the objective did not move.

I received the same scope today. After looking at your response I decided to check my scope. You are correct, at the set parallax from the factory, changing the magnification did have a significant effect. . When I unscrewed the front locking ring (AO) and used a tool to change the "set parallex" to a closer one, and using the rear adjustment (with locking ring) to fine tune it, there was much less change with magnification.

If your average range will be closer to 25 yards & less, you might try this and adjust the "set parallax" to 25 yards, by loosening the ring in the front of the scope and unscrewing the front objective about 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn (just a rough guess). I used an old, cheap digital caliper to catch the slots in the ring.

The thing you loose is a crisp image at 40+ yards. I have not had time to mount the scope, so I do not know if changing the magnification will change the POI. I do know that with my old eyes and a 4.5 max I will be shooting @35 yards and less, so I'll adjust mine for that

One of the scopes will go on one of my Mendoza RM377. A 25 yd. gun.
I've already mounted the other on a de tuned chopper. It's a Hatsan Striker 1000s that I chopped and put in a drab green Webley VMX stock.
It's also a 25 yd. shooter. I'll have a look at the paralax adjustments when get a chance to sight them in.

Besides the R10 pellets I also bought the: "BIG BLAST CAP REACTIVE TARGET INFLATOR CAPS WITH AIR PUMP" for $7.99 after the NRA2020 and FREESHIP coupons.

This item includes a bike pump that on its own is worth those money.

Also the blast caps seem to be really fun.

If you find the parallax able to be adjusted, if not too much trouble, will you please post detail regarding the process?

As described in previous replies....
You loosen the collar at the front of the scope (the outer ring). You can see the inner ring has notches as would be used for a spanner wrench. Turning that inner ring changes the parallax for different zero distances. Once you have it adjusted to meet your specific requirements, you screw the outer ring back on.
Hope this helps.

Thanks JB-Umarex

Fully understood regarding "on line only" deal.
Tomorrow I'll start by calling my bank again to see if they can identify the problem.
My call yesterday got to the weekend crew that does not have full access to the client's account.
Go figure

Let' both hope the deal will stay on until the problem is resolved.

Best
Ed

Mr. Ed, please be careful when doing multiple attempts, as my debit card was charged 3x by UMAREX, lol!

My 1st 2 attempts did not go through because there was an error in my phone number, you see.

Just a heads up, sir!

I did call them and they advised my to ring my bank, which I did 

For the record, UMAREX has refunded my overpayment of $720 (3 Rotek rifles instead of only 1) to my debit card   

Thank you, UMAREX

It's all good, I don't think any less of you.....     hahaha

Follow the numbered steps. Most "fixed parallax" scopes are fixed at 50 or 100 yards. Lower power scopes like 4.5 max scope for an air gun is probably set to 50 yards. Things closer can seem fuzzy. If you are going to use this scope for 25-30 yard shots and closer, it MAY benefit you to change the fixed parallax. You might also consider a drop of thread lock like "Vibra-Tite" when you reinstall the cover. This will keep it from moving around, especially on a springer.

I would not touch an expensive scope, but for less than $12.00 delivered, I have adjusted this Walther 4.5 to fit my needs. Hope this helps.
