Parallax at 45 yards - Athlon 65

[Mike Islander]

This photo was taken through the eyepiece at 45 yards and full magnification. Way close for this magnification setting. When the letters are in focus, I get double vision. Normal?

I would say for sure, no. I was messing around in the yard the other day with mine and was reading the numbers under a barcode on a water tank at 50 yards crystal clear. I would get ahold of Athlon...

This is full zoom. I ranged it at 64 yards and the sticker is roughly 4” x 5”

Many thanks. Totally different than mine. So much better quality! Will get this one fixed or replaced. At first I thought it was my eyes seeing double, but the camera doesn't lie.

All fixed! Well...I was being stupid. The photo from earlier today was shot while looking THROUGH the sliding door in my living room. Amazing how adding another "lens" effects the quality of the scope.

56 Yards in very low light, full magnification. Large text is 1/3" tall. These little compact scopes are really amazing.

Haha right on! I figured something was up there. Glad it’s all resolved. Yeah I agree, they are pretty impressive overall. Love the size!
