I'm going to be putting a scope on my CZ-452 Trainer, which is a .22, to turn it into a 100-yard shooter. I'm thinking of getting a 4-12 power scope. My question is whether I really need a "rimfire" scope in general. My understanding is that from an optics point of view, the main difference between a "rimfire" scope and a regular scope (everything else being equial) is the parallax setting. That is, rimfire scopes usually have a parallax setting of 50 yards, vs. 100 yards (generally speaking) for other scopes.
Reason I ask is that there are more general-purpose scopes out there than "rimfire" scopes, so I would have greater choices. Plus, I could also use a general purpose scope on a center-fire gun if I chose to.
And since I am setting it up for 100 yards, nothing would be lose in getting a general purpose scope.
Am I correct on all counts?
Thanks
