Rastoff, frankly I think your Vortex was just fine. That you could prove it had parallax with a camera moving back and forth is one thing, but as a practical matter shooting with your head up against the stock I believe it would have performed just fine.
I agree about experimenting with dime store optics. For those who are buying NcStar, Barska, Sightmark, Leapers, AIM, UTG... and all the other Chinese labor camp optics, it's difficult to have a lot of confidence. So why fight it? PA has plenty of choices for 1x red dots and mounts that are designed for AR platforms. There are endless positive reviews from guys with ARs. Price is right and and their customer service is second to none. That's how I began using their stuff about four years ago. Read tons of reviews. Everyone was reasonably happy. No need to shop further for a dime store optic. That's not to say that others are not just as good... I just don't see the value in experimenting. That said, my two PA MicroDot and compact 4x scope are all on .22s.
