Thread: Scopes for rimfire hunting rifles

It's not inexpensive at around $600 but is light and doesn't give any trouble. I changed the fixed parallax from 150m to 50m and can easily head shoot rabbits up to 100m or more with a rest, good ammo and reasonably calm conditions.

Gave up on the Xmas tree reticles and vari-power scopes and also the adjustable objective scopes. Too much weight and mucking around.

well i got this one really wrong . . when i read in the other thread that your getting .2MOA in your Annie 54 i wondered what scope you would have on top to wring every ounce of performance from it . . . wouldnt have guessed a straight 6 power . . . would be a very nice traditional rifle setup to use tho.
