    Sometimes correct focus and correct parralax adjustment do not coincide exactly.
    This can be annoying if you worry about such things.

    Yip but I'd rather a target that's in focus than not

    Hi Guys.

    Chairgun pro 4 ballistics calculator by Hawke Optics has a maximum parallax error calculator.

    @Timmay Your Zeiss characteristics show a maximum error of +/- 1.050 inches. If however the scope was focused at 100 yards the error could be +/- 4.724 inches.

    Interestingly enough scope magnification does not feature in the calculation.

    and thats the worst case , you would have to have your eye almost out of the box to achieve that error.
