Thread: Rimfire scope on 30-30

As Timmay says its probably more of a parallax setting issue than anything else-and rimfire parallax settings would seem better on a 3030 than most centerfire settings

With companies like Weaver and Leupold, the "rimfire" designation refers to the focal length and a "Rimfire" scope is set to around 50 yards mostly rather than a traditional "normal" centrefire scope which is usually closer to 100 or 120 yards. I used a rimfire scope on a 7.62x39 with a great deal of success. Ideal for a 30/30. Bear in mind a shit scope that wont handle recoil will likely be no better for rimfire anyway. Lifes gentle bumps will see to that so stick to a decent brand that you know and you will be fine. That weaver would be ideal.
