What is the 3rd turret used for on some Swarovski scopes?
A. Some Swarovski scopes have a third adjustment turret and this is for parallax adjustment. All of our scopes are said to be “parallax free” at 100yds, and this is the factory setting. Scopes with higher magnification than 12X will need to be adjusted for shooting over 100yds. This can be done by having a focusing adjustment on the objective lens or by a 3rd parallax adjusting turret (such as the newer Z5 & Z6 12 power and higher scopes).
