Title: scope for.22 question.
Post by: BIGINNER on February 25, 2010, 08:49:10 AM: i recently bought a savage 110 in .270, it came with a simmons scope 3-9X40 and i also got a .22lr rifle recently. and i need a scope for the .22, but i was thinking would it work fine if i put the simmons scope on the .22 and buy a better scope for the .270? or will that scope not pair good with the .22?

All my rimfires that have scopes are just regular scopes (no fancy .22 scopes)

that's why there's specialty .22 scopes...usually have their parallax set around 50 yards. many scopes are adjustable, so check into that.
