What they are saying is if you set the scope on the table and point the dot at a target as you move your eye in a circle around the back of the the scope the dot looks like it's moving in relation to the inside tube of the scope. but it should stay on target. if your dot is moving off target you have a broken scope and need to send it in for repair.

Quoted: Aimpoints are paralax free. Right, just like EoTechs. |

Paralax- that was the word I was looking for...
Yeah, I guess my dot is staying on the target. Maybe I was just overly tired, but earlier, it looked like it was shifting ever so slightly. [noclue] |

No, I'm right! Someone try putting their Aimpoint down, and put the dot on something 4 or five feet away. Then with your eye about a foot more away from the optic, move your head around. I don't know about you, but my dot is not staying on the something! [:O] |

Aimpoints are not paralax free.
Not under 25 meters that is, per the Army TM. They are zero'd at this distance and it is clearly stated that a good check weld is mandatory during the zeroing phase. After that and at regular comabt distances they are truely paralax free |

If you have that problem at 30 yards or more, call Aimpoint, explain the situation, they will ask you to send it back and replace the unit.
I bought 2 of them about a year ago and one had that problem, Aimpoint replaced the defective one. |

Good reading on the subject of dot sights and the issue.

If you believe that you have an Aimpoint sight with parallax error, try placing the front end of the sight flat against a window so that the dot is against something at normal target distances (not the doorknob 10 feet away) . Now move your head behind the sight. If the dot moves against the target, there is some error, and you will experience some shot displacement at that range. If this is the case, you should call Aimpoint customer service at 877-AIMPOINT.
