affected

for me the main issue with the parallax being out of whack is the strain it puts on my eyeballs at the range. if you're just shooting squirrels at 50 yds ... might not notice it as much. then again, squirrel heads are small.

also, I wouldn't say that the rimfire leupold scopes are a lesser quality, they're just shorter. this affects the mounting flexibility and the eye relief to some extent.

Im not really worried about the length. I think i can make that work. I don't care to have the extra weight of a ao. I have one on my 204 not that keen on it. I realize that the rimfire scope will not be but to par with my vx3 and vxiii scopes but would hope they would be same as my vx1 or rifleman scopes. Thanks to all for your advise . i think I will go with the leupold rimfire 2-7. Since I didn't see or recall anyone who posted had one on a ruger american i will be the crash test dummy and report back on the eye relief results. Thanks again guys.

I'm more of a hunter than paper puncher. A restored steel tube Weaver K2.5 works very well in the field. A Millett SP-1 is excellent for close range work. Neither are expensive. Big plus on the Millett is no parallax and excellent twilight performance. They are capable of MOA accuracy.
