I don't. It's a real challenge keeping that target exactly centered in the outer "shadow" and at 25 yards there's a LOT of parallaz error if you move your eye around.
It gets intense shooting a long string of groups.
I'm shooting 5 shot groups as small as .317, but that's barely better than it will do at 50 yards, which makes me think it's primarily a parallax issue.
If I could use an AO to adjust out the parallax and get a fine focus at 25 yards, I'm almost positive I would shrink the groups.
Since my 10-22 is for killing squirrels and bunnies, and I wouldn't have time to adjust an AO in the field anyway, it's not a big deal. I doubt the close ones care much my shot was off by a half inch anyway.
If I was going to bet beers on target score, though, I'd get an AO scope. Just sayin.
