bustabeans, member, from OR, United States, asked on August 22, 2019

Is shooting at less than 75 yards not advisable due to the minimum paralax being 75? Correct

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 15, 2019

That's not necessarily true. You should be fine at under 75 yards, but best to use it at 75 yards and out. That is why we highly recommend getting a parallax adjustable scope that can come down to distances like 10-15 yards.

ROBERT, guest, from CA, United States, asked on May 17, 2019

What height mount for a Ruger 10/22 takedown?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 15, 2019

That will depend on how you want to mount the scope, but using a picatinny rail, you will most likely want to stick with medium rings and possibly even lows. Please email us at techsales@opticsplanet.com to discuss specific recommendations.

will this scope be good for squirrl hunting on a 17hmr

Featured Answer
A
Answered by Kelvinh61, member, from TX, United States, on April 13, 2019

Yes. My uncle bought a Savage 17 WSM and installed this 4-12 x 40 Nikon scope. He uses it to take out gofers and squirrels in East Texas. He and I had a shoot out contest with me using a 22 Mag with the exact same scope. At 100 yds both rifles were very similar in accuracy using bench rests. His 17 WSM was able to shoot out beyond 100 yards with more accuracy. You won’t go wrong installing this Nikon on any Rimfire once you zero it in!
