Did I screw up???

[Farmingdales Finest]

As I said in another post last weekend I won an CVA Optima and have been asking questions here about what I need to fully outfit it.

I got a sale email from Natchez the other day and saw they had the Burris Full Field E1 in 3-9x40 which I ordered after seeing a lot of love for this scope and Burris in general over Vortex which is what I was thinking about first. My question is did I screw up? As I have read more I learned about parallax. The scope I ordered has a fixed parallax of 100 yards and I see most muzzleloader specific scopes are 50 yards while most rifle scopes seem to be 150 yards.

Did I screw up or am I over thinking this due to my inexperience?

No, you’re good. Many of my scopes on my muzzleloaders have a fixed 100 yard parallax, they work just fine at the ranges I use them for, mainly 200 yards and under.

Looks to me like you did real good.

Most scopes are fixed. Usually to either 100 or 150 yards. Its no problem at all unless you are shooting super close like for rimfire competition or very long range. Most ranges you will likely shoot its fine.
