i don't use aimpoint for shooting.only for my experiments. when i shot open i used  only tasco pdp2 . i received  aimpoint type5000 c  as  a present in some competition.

just now i  came from s.range . have fan with .22  cz  convertion and others  .saw few  gays from military shooting with new   Roni  carbine convertion with meprolight sight.

they didn't understood why at  50y gun accuracy  better than on 15y .?

I can confirm that slideride parallax error seems a lot worse at less than 5 metres. The parallax can also be set on a fixed distance (some scopes have variable parallax), and the slideride parallax seems to be a bit further, or then the optical quality is just bad

Keep in mind that even the fancy variable optics have parallax error at all but the one range they are optimized for. Most of the 1-4/6/8 optics are set to be parallax-free at 100y, but inside and outside that range they will shift just like your red dot.
