    This seems like a dumb question but is there any reason not to get a larger, more powerful center fire scope for a rimfire rifle?

    No specific reason. There are some guys at the range i go to with Nightforce's, S&B's, ect on there 22s. Id say one advantage of going with a 22 specific scope is just the size and weight. My 10/22 has a mueller 22 scope while my ruger american rimfire just has a 3-9 i had laying around. Both work just fine

    Seemed like some were saying parallax could potentially be a problem. After comparing the two scopes I'm looking at though I see that the center fire one has parallax adjustments down to 30 yards though so I should be good

    I guess it depends what you want to do with it? I push the limits of my 22 and am always shooting long range. I have a 10x Luepold Mark 4 on my Anschutz 22.

    I was going to say try the local gun rag, but then I saw that you live in California :laugh:

    Gunbroker, Armslist, Gunsamerica are all good places to start.

    Have you used buds for Gun Purchases? Similar situation but for
    What Type of stuff? I was looking into a rifle and optics from them as it savw 400-500 from the Price the local shop has for the same setup. Weatherby Vanguard and Leupold vx3i 4.5-14x40mm scope. No tax and free shipping on both items but wondering what I should look out for.
