I am going to put a inexpensive scope on my 10/22 for squirrel hunting, I am looking at a 2x-7x or a 3x-9x. Can you put a riflescope on a .22 or would it be better to have one that is parralex free at 50 yards.. cabelas fall hunting has a pine ridge{their brand} for a .22 that is 3x9 for 80.00 that is parralex free at 50 and they have a regular simmons 8 point 3x9 scope for 60.00 but I would think it is parralex free at 100 yards..  would the parralex make a difference for a .22? ???

My Dad gave us all new .22 with Simmons scopes. They are the ones designed for .22s. I can put 10 rounds in a group about the size of a quarter at 40 yards with it. Very clear

I just mounted and sighted a Bushnell Trophy 1.75-5 on my new Marlin autoloader. It's 32mm, bright and clear.

Hard to beat a Bushnell.  Simmons makes a good cheap scope as well.

Not going to make a diffence at all on .22lr unless you are shooting hundreds of yards.

Isn't the parallex adjustable on most 3x9 scopes?   :anim_25:

No. The reticle focus is usually adjustable. Parallax is adjusted on the objective end of the scope and most 3-9 scopes don't have adjustable objective. Rifle scopes w/o AO are usually set to be parallax free at 100 yds. Rim fire scopes are usually set to be parallax free at 50 yds. It can make a difference trying to shoot a squirrels head at odd angles of eye to scope alignment.

I have a pile of rimfires and 3 of them shoot really well with cheap Simmons scopes.  Those 3 are all the Simmons 8 point line.   You used to find them at Walmart for $49(3-9x40).  One of my favorite squirrel rifles has a 3-9x32 Simmons 8pt.

Here's a link to one on ebay for $36 shipped:

I won a little rf match several years ago shooting at 50 yds with the cheapo Simmons 3-9x40 on a Marlin bolt.

I like Leupold, Zeiss, and Nikon on my CF rifles and shotguns, but there's nothing wrong with a cheapo on a rifle with no recoil IMO.

Good Luck

I have to agree, however I did put a $350 leupold on a $35 Daisy .22 LR single shot once, and that gun would absolutely drive tacks!  ;D

How many tacks do you think this gun would drive?   :lol:
