Anyone ever mount a rimfire scope on a big boy 44?
Any thoughts on this. Most shots from zero to 100. Right now I have a red dot on it. But maybe cross hairs would be a fine tuner set up. Thanks..

I have the Leupold Freedom 2-7x Rimfire scope mounted on a couple of Big Boys. I like it as it is parallax adjusted for 60 yards and I sight in my Big Boys in at 50 yards. I have another Big Boy with the same scope but a center fire version and quite frankly I can’t see much difference. The center fire scope is parallax adjusted at 125 yards. Someday I’ll transfer it to a Henry 30-30 when I get one and put the rimfire version of this scope on the Big Boy. Biggest problem is Leupold raised the price in 2021 from $199 to $299.

Appreciate the reply..thank you very much..

I'm with Al on this one. Most rimfire scopes are parallax set at 50 or 60 yards, so if you'll be taking shots only out to 100 yards, no problem.
