OK dumb question.
My wife bought me the 22-250 I have been looking at as an early chirstmas gift. She also had a scope with a lighted crosshair. Unfortunatly she got the muzzle loading version of the scope. It does have a BDC in it. Can I use this scope or do I need to go exchange it?

Scott,
Most will encourage you to exchange it. I would. Keep your wife, tho.

OK,
I hope they will take it back its already mounted on the gun. I can't believe they bore sighted it and everything without realizing what they were doing. Oh well. If I am stuck with it I will just have to use it with out the BDC if thats possible. Oh and as to keeping the wife.......You bet shes a keeper!

Yes,exchange it if you can.The 'parallax' adjustment on the scope you have is likely factory set for shorter distances than a standard rifle scope.Perhaps the reticle wider as well.Your instructions that came with may tell you that.

All fixed up, remounted and sighted in. For the record Dicks Sporting goods was great about making it right.
