What scope for a 22LR ?

[wolfmanrogers]

I never found parallax error to be a real life problem --on paper it seems like it would be an issue but I found that my own wobble area or the pulse of my heartbeat shaking the gun moves the crosshairs much more than any parallax error does. (that is assuming you've got a good full view through the scope and the crosshairs are in sharp focus.)

My three favorite scopes that have ever been on 22 rifles were all 1970s to 1980s vintage deer hunting scopes, 1" tubes, 32mm to 40mm front (objective) lenses, fixed 4X power, glass lenses not plastic, made in Japan, and I'm sure they were parallax set from the factory at 100 yards, which is not my normal distance for shooting 22 rimfire.

I've found that parallax is the number one reason people shoot inconsistently.

It's amazing how many people think it's not a thing

If you're also a lousy shot for other reasons, it's hard to be sure how much of a thing it is.

True.

Oh, dude. You have no idea.

I know ALL about what it means to be a lousy shot.

Well, at 50 yards I didn't do to bad with some Federal GMM stuff. Gotta clear some brush before I can push it further.

Try some different ammo. Your rifle does not like the fgmm.

Agreed. Looks roughly 2.5-3 moa
