Default RE: Scope for 22

If you're NOT going to get a special rimfire scope, then get a scope high enough in power such as 4x-12x that will feature adjustable objective. The reason for rimfire scopes is ALL scopes designed for centerfire rifles are factory adjusted for parallax at 100-150 yards, whereas rimfire scopes come from factory parallax adjusted at 50 yards. Parallax is when you are looking through the scope, and when you move your head, the crosshairs appear to move around on the target, and you CAN miss by that amount too.
