Looking to put a scope on it.
I have a spare Meopta 4-12x50 thats just sitting there... but I have heard that its prob not the idea scope based on the parallex not being suitable for a rifle being sighted in at 50 to 75m.
Is this going to be a big issue or a small one or prob something i wont even be able to notice?
Whats the go to scope for general purpose tyoe usage? bit of hunting, plinking, range time etc...
No reason it shouldn't work just fine.
As long as you have a consistent cheek weld the parallax shouldn't be a major issue.
Every time you go shooting set the reticle on something and move your head around, if the parallax is off you will see the reticle float around the target. If it's set for the distance of your target the reticle will appear to be fixed on the target regardless of your eye position behind the scope. Basically, it means the target is not where the scope is telling you it is, similar to mirage.
