Red Dot Parallax Question

[danweasel]

I have a question about the cheaper red dot sights. For examble the vortex strikefire. Anyways, when they say parallax free past 50 yards how bad is the parallax error at say 10 yards and 25 yards or so. I am thinking of putting one on an ultimak rail on my AK and I can't see buying a real aimpoint or an eotech. Does anyone really think those fake aimpoints are parallax free?

Thanks again THR guys,

Dan

All red dot sights have some Parallax error. Aimpoint sights have less because of their unique double lens system design.

Here is a good read.

...and parallax is really only a "problem" if you can't hold your head in the same position from shot-to-shot.
