I've noticed scopes marketed specific to rimfire . What's the deal there?
@bladeracer :the Bushnell AR Optics 4.5-18x40 you use, can I also throw it on a howa 1500 .223 without any dramas provided I can use the same rings ? Would I need a mounting rail on the two rifles to make moving backwards and forward easier ?
Total noob if you haven't worked it out yet.
No reason you can't use them on anything, although springer air rifles and shotguns might be a bit harsh for them.
Rimfire scopes usually allow focusing closer than many centrefire scopes, although my AR-Optics focus back to 10m.
I have eleven 4.5-18x40 scopes, all 223BDC, on everything - .22's, .204, .223, .243, 6.5x55mm, 7mm-08, etc.
