I recently picked up a mint Remington 504 in 22 lr and need to scope it. I'm torn between finding a rimfire specific variable with the paralax set @ 50-75 yds, going with a high magnification AO scope or just using a standard 2-7 or 3-9. The Rimfire Central crowd would lead you to believe you need an AO scope that tops out at 15-20x in order to shoot well. I'm leaning towards getting a smallish standard scope (Vortex Viper 2-7x32 or Minx ZA3 3-9x40). I really don't want an oversized scope on this beautiful rifle and I don't want to overpay for a rimfire scope when I can get a high quality standard scope for less $.
This gun is meant to be used as a trainer for punching paper and small game hunting in order to save $ over shooting my centerfires. As long as the scope is mounted as low as possible and I am positioned correctly I'd assume the full value of the paralax error formula wouldn't apply would it? Isn't that a maximum value for use if you are way off center in the scope?
Too many questions, I need some answers.
Thanks in advance - Strosfann
