Try shooting that 3-9x40mm Center Fire Rifle scope at a paper target at 10 yards and see how well you do.
Clipped and paste from the following web site :'' HOW CRITICAL IS PARALLAX? - For pinpoint aiming purposes, parallax error is most critical at under 100 yard distances. Rimfire and air rifles absolutely need adjustable parallax due to shooting under 100 yds. On the other hand, big game scopes are set to be parallax error free at 100 yards. At under 100 yards, BIG game are large enough that parallax won’t throw you too far off your aiming point. And beyond 100 yards, the error is simply less for the difference in distance.''

Got a Leupold laying on the Gun Safe shelf look up how to adjust it for 50m parallax or go to Rimfire Central and do some reading there.
Lots of information available.
