Does it focus back to minimum .22LR distances?

Also Non-Sevice class in Service matches, which is a mix of Application, Deliberate, Rapids and Snaps (singles/doubles/triples), on standard service silhouettes at varying distances. Also would be fine for 3-P field positional, the other clubs do. That scope is plenty good enough for practical with time pressures.
Are we in a dark and stormy mood, are we? Becaus the elitism seems strong...
Riddle me this Batman - if a fullbore shooter can go sub moa at 1000m, with irons, out of the sling, with wind, how do you think they’d fair with that scope as a substitute?

It doesn't sound like a great choice for that to me.

The scope is not any sort of target scope, more like a budget entry level hunting scope.

But if set the target at 50 metres the image seems to come in and out of focus when focusing on a target and white paper background.
I don’t notice the issue shooting at game and ever and close Ranges the scope seems to perform fine.
I used to have a standard Leupold vx1 3x9 Mounted on my 22. and I don’t recall it being An issue At 50 metres. But being a centre fire model the The parallax would be set at 100 yards.
