After receiving a new MRO Patrol that still exhibited 6-7" of parallax at 65 yards....I am giving the UH-1 a try. Hope it will serve well...battery life is not a concern for me...but minimal parallax is.

Yes. I like Aimpoint a lot...have had all of them models except the T2/CompM5...great choice of optics...much preferred over the MRO....the MRO has let me down twice now on parallax...I had one of the originals...had terrible parallax...and the new MRO Patrol model (hoping they fixed the problem) was the same. I do not get how Trijicon can claim parallax free...but secondly...how the flip did engineering approve of this...I don't have to be off center too much for the MRO to exhibit severe parallax...its ridiculous. I expect great amounts of parallax on a $100 chinese optic...but not on a $900 MSRP MRO Patrol. It is quite sad that Trijicon who builds probably the best combat magnified optics in the world released this junk. Yes its built tough with great battery life...but if your shots are off...its paperweight.
They shouldn't advertise parallax-free...it is nowhere near it.
Hoping the UH-1 will perform better than the MRO...I think it will...battery life isn't a deal breaker for me...I can store several on my rifle as back up...if not...I'll just go back to an Aimpoint or EXPS3-0.
In most cases (as far only exception that I'm aware of is Aimpoint) "parallax free" marketing ploy in reality means "parallax fixed at XXyd/m". Usually 100yd(/m), but for example Eotech used 65m IIRC and Docter IPSC sight (dedicated for handgun use) was fixed at 35m (that makes it practically "parallax free" from 0 to 50m).
Vortex approaches problem in decent way:
All red dot and holographic sights will exhibit some small amount of parallax. Matching current industry practice, this small amount would be considered “parallax free” and will make a negligible difference in the UH-1’s performance.
