    Can an improperly adjusted parallax cause a distorted image when looking through a scope? Recently got a new scope for my next project and when playing around with it in the house I noticed that it looks like I'm looking through a fisheye lens. Parallax only adjusts down to 25 yards. I adjusted parallax up and looked at few things farther away outside and didn't notice the fisheye effect. I've never had this happen with any of my other scope before but I'm far from an expert so I figured I'd ask.
