i just purchased a nikon prostaff 4x32 scope for my knight muzzleloader. when i got home, i saw that this scope is actually called the "rimfire classic." does this mean that it can only be used on a .22? i have sent an inquiry to nikon asking the same question.
my initial thought is yes, this scope can only be used on rimfire rifles. however, several facts suggest otherwise. first, i read on several internet websites that the "rimfire classic" has become popular with centerfire and muzzleloading hunters. second, i had to go to three different wal-marts before i found one that was not sold out of this scope. if this is a $100 scope that can only be used on .22's, then how on earth are they selling so many??? finally, there are two other models of the nikon prostaff scopes, neither one is termed a "rimfire classic," and i cannot see any difference between the scopes aside from the fact that the "rimfire classic" is fixed power.
also, if the rimfire classic is for rimfires only, wouldn't it say so somewhere in the packaging on in the instructions? thanks in advance for any input.
