Centerfire Scope on a 22?

by RangerBob, Wednesday, August 22, 2012, 14:51 (4423 days ago)

I know that the paralax for 22 scopes is set at 50yds and that most centerfire scopes are set at longer range . . . most at 100yds.

But how much practical problem will I see if I mount a Leupold M8 on a 22?

I'm not talking about a benchrest rifle, but I would mount it on a rifle that is capable of 1/2" at 50yds. Would a centerfire scope mess me up?

I could buy a rimfire scope, but If I don't like it I don't have another 22 to put it on. If I pick up a used Leupold centerfire scope, I would have it to use in other places.

What do you think?

Bob
