That's great to know! I picked up my .22 rifle yesterday, and have a Lynx 2-7x32 that I found in my Gramps study.
Is there a way to check what the parallax is set to?

+1 on the Nikon target efr. I have one on my cz 455 and the parralax can come down to 10m, the glass is very clear, no problems with tracking etc. I can definitely recommend them.

Re: Rimfire specific scopes?
When target shooting at 50m the 4-12 scopes battle to see bullet holes. I have a Nikko 5-20x50 on my 22 and with that you can clearly see shots at 50m.
The application that the scope is being used for will determine magnification.

Re: Rimfire specific scopes?
I bought a Hawke Vantage IR 3-9x40 with .22 subsonic BDC reticle and never looked back.
The scopes are cheap and the glass is clear.
Check them out before you buy.
I think Suburban Guns are the agents.

Futurama have an extensive range of Hawke scopes.

Re: Rimfire specific scopes?
Regarding parallax, if the distance is set at 50m, what happens on longer shots, how is it affected?

Re: Rimfire specific scopes?
There is a region of parallax error, there’s a few of the combos and just how bad the parallax is on rimfire central forum, just search for them.
My reccomendation, bite the bullet and buy a leupold Vx freedom rim fire. 25 moa reticle, excellent glass, can’t go wrong. R4000 for a rimfire scope? You going to pass this rifle to your kids some day and chances are the leupold scope will still be on. I have used the subsonic specific Hawke, it now sells for R2700 , was happy with it but the reticle is specific to the load so I prefer a general MOA style reticle compared to a specific one for a specific load.
