Question? I know the Viper 2 x 7 scopes are parallax free at 100 yards. I am thinking about getting one for a rim fire 22lr. At the lower magnification ranges of this scope, will targets be to out of focus at 50 yards.be

Not for me . It will work well at 10 yds on the lower power. On low power Parallax is not much of a problem I don't have the actual number but I think it is under 1/2 inch at most under 100 yards.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

At lower power, the focus is ok because the depth of field is longer,but the max parallax error is still constant.
1/2" can miss a squirrel at that distance.

I have the viper 2x7 on my MP15-22.  It works just fine for the 50 yard line.

I also think this would make a great rimfire scope, very nice optics!
