Scope for a .22 rifle???

[kdlong]

i love it. i haven't had to touch it since i put it on.really clear. i like the bigger scope for squirrel hunting helps me see them easier in the trees. now that little henry shoots like a dream. i can actually put 10 in a spot smaller than a dime at 50 yds with it of course with the scope. i can't use sights anymore unless i go get some specs to see with.pay a little more and get some good optics you will be alot happer in the long run.

Yeah, I understand that eyesight thing. Something went wrong about 20 years ago.

That's funny. I used to say the same thing. I could hit a squirrel in the eye with my little Remington pump when I was a kid. Now I can't even see a squirrel at 50 yds. Hooray for scopes.

SWFA has the ProStaff on sale for $99 also if you'd rather mail order.

If the parallax setting on a scope is 100 yards is it okay for a .22? Or should I look for one with a parallax setting of 50 yards? The reason I'm asking is that SWFA has the Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 on sale for $100 but its parallax setting is 100 yards while the rimfire version with a fixed 4x32 is the same price but has a parallax setting of 50 yards.

Sorry to sound so dumb. I've never used a scope on any of my rifles but I recently got my hands on a beautiful circa 1940s era Winchester Model 75 target model that I'd like to refurbish and put a scope on. Should I go with the rimfire model with 4x32 or the 3-9x40 at the same price?

I'm no scope expert, but I know that there is more than one model of Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40. One of them is specifically for rimfire.

I went to Academy today to get one for $99.95, but they were out. They did have the non-rimfire version.

Personally, I'm interested now in a Leupold FX1 4x32 or a Leupold VX1 3-7x28. I wish I knew what the relative quality of these two is. i.e., given that they're about the same price, does that mean the glass in the fixed is better?

Any opinions?
