Checking Parallax for ranging.

I decided to check the 30 meter/yard parallax mark on the 4 scopes I have today.

To range with I took an aluminum can and taped a piece of white paper with 6 centimeters marked. Sat the can @ 30 meters, should see 3 centimeter marks between 2 mildots with parallax set to 30 meters. 1mil should equal to 3 centimeter @ 30 meters.

Results:

Bushnell 3-12×44 dead on 3 centimers/1mil, sharp focus close to 30 yard mark on side Parallax turret

SWFA 10X42 dead on 3 centimeters/1mil, sharp focus @ 30 meter mark on rear Parallax.

RWS 4-12X50CI duh! 3.5 centimeters/1mil @ 12x soft focus bad AO & mil-dot reticle.

Crosman 3-9×32 uh! 2.5 centimeters/1mil @ 9x good focus bad AO & mil-dot reticle.

I was bored today and this was something to do to check parallax accuracy, will try this at 50 and 100 yards.
