This is only relevant for practical everyday hunting with high magnification at long range \u2013 this cannot explain a miss with 10x magnification at 150 m. However, precautions should be taken to eliminate these potential mistakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Long range riflescopes from ZEISS including high magnification are equipped with parallax compensation, i.e. an easy to use swivel with a range scale from 50 m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This moves the image back to the reticle plane, providing two huge advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- the image is sharply focused and<\/li>
- parallax errors cannot occur even when looking through the eyepiece at an angle. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
