Scope service for de-tuning - GTA or Canada?

I have one 1-6 LPVO - it was an impulse buy based on some wooow recommendation from another airgun forum - the paralax is preset at 100 yards/meters.
This glass is really nice built and real quality clarity, I like the CTSIX reticle as well, but I could never get used to this low power just for rings shooting beyond 50 meters, for PRS may be much better but my gunclub doesn't have the range setup.
It looks like the winter is shorter this year, the tree-rats started earlier scouting my walnut trees, so I got the idea where can I employ this my LPVO.
Today morning I toke it out from my drawers, tried to set the focus 5-10 meters, but the parallax was so ugly and the scope was completely useless on these short distances out of focus, maybe for elephant size targets only?
I may try moving that front lens ... otherwise sending back to a drawer, I have no other use for this scope.

Q: Do we have any scope service left in Canada or preferably in Toronto area, who may be willing too re-tune or de-tune the parallax from 100 meters to something shorter I don't know 50 or 20 meters?
I look at the front ring I don't want to play mechanic with a screwdriver.
 
Scopes these days (and for decades come to think of it) have been made in factories with very standardized components. The designs are well thought out and everything works as the engineers planned. There are probably zero techs in Canada or the GTA who would willingly crack open all the seals and start changing stuff around. Modern scopes aren't designed for any maintenance or adjustability. You are better to take you lumps and buy what you should have bought in the first place.
 
if you search TSR you'll see a phone # - OR just sell it to someone that wants a hunting scope

We spoke in FB messenger and he's recommendation is a no-go with modifying the LPVO.
There it goes back to the drawer I may trade it later if the opportunity arrives, but I don't want to sell it for peanuts.
Shopping now for another scope with shortest possible parallax, that can track well from below the tree up in between branches.

Possibly a 1-4x24 with side paralax focus would work?

Or possibly buy a leupold and get them to ajust the parralax to what you'ld thaink would work?

Thanks, these above all long distance parallax, the UTG is a shortest with 10 meters, this may work, but the piece price is right in the middle of a big competition.
I will look into that Leupold what or how much is involved to re-adjust.
 
leupold offer scopes with EFR(extended focal range) for close in shooting.
I had an older varixiii 6.5-20 efr for my cz455 22lr that i sometimes shot indoor 20m range. Focus/parallax was no problem.
 
I have found some "airgun" scopes that can do parallax adjustment down to 7 an even 3 yards.
My 1-6 LPVO can close focus at x3 power to 5-6 yards, but the parallax error is about +/- 1/4, with some effort and training a cheekweld that could a headshot for a squirrel @ 7 yard.
I was tinkering to sell the LPVO but not much interests, so I will put in employment with a green lazer combined.
