I really like the fine cross-hairs on my Nikons. The Vortex typically has a thicker cross-hair, which for some is easier on the eyes; but it tends to be distracting to me at longer distances.
Leupold, I'm not sure, but likely has thinner cross-hairs as well. I've got a P-22 scope on my 10/22 that's seen 1,000s of rounds with no issues. |

I got the sightron 2-7 rimfire and it's got a really nice thin reticle. Good glass too.

The BDC is great too for on-fly shots hunting or shooting steel at long ranges

I have a Leupold Rimfire 4x (fixed power) on my 10/22. Clarity is excellent and the crosshairs are on the fine side. My rifle is not factory except for the receiver and walnut stock.

I have the Leupold on my CZ and love it. But I am a Leupold fanboy so take it with a grain of salt.

I went with the Vortex , got it with rings cheaper than base price on the other models . I was actually surprised how nice the glass looked for the price point .

I have both the Weaver 2.5-7 and the Vortex 2-7. The Vortex is pretty good glass for the money, but it's not as good as the Weaver and it's 5 oz. heavier than the Weaver. Ditto what was said about the Vortex crosshairs. I don't necessarily "regret" buying the Vortex, but I would've been happier with another Weaver. |

Is this comparing the Weaver with a Vortex Crossfire II or Vortex Diamondback? OP, I just picked up a Bushnell AR Optics 2-7 Rimfire to try on my 10/22. The glass looks very clear, even in low light. It has a BDC that appears to be workable without being too cluttered. It has side focus parallax adjustment. Unfortunately, it is a heavy, heavy beast and it has a nitrogen purge port screw that protrudes form the bottom of the scope tube, requiring it be mounted in medium rings. I'm not sure if I'm keeping it or sending it back. I like the features, particularly parallax adjustment in a 2-7 scope, but it's really heavy. |

I've got a Vortex 2-7 crossfire II. No experience with any of the other options, but it's a nice clear scope.

I have 2 Nikons and a Leupold, all 2-7s
Basically equal for plinking, varmint control. They variously reside on a 10-22, a Norinco Mini-Mauser knockoff 22LR, and a Savage A-17 |

I'm getting one of the new heavy barreled 10/22 takedowns (picking it up today) and need to decide what scope to use. I just plan to plink with it, mostly suppressed. Shooting paper, steel targets out to 200ish yards once in a while, etc. Right now I'm leaning toward the Nikon 2-7 with the 22LR BDC reticle. Any thoughts on how it compares to a Vortex or Leupold rimfire scope? Or other suggestions? The nikon is a good optic. I like fine cross hair scopes for my 22's especially when there's the occasional varmint need dispatching. |

What are the advantages/disadvantages of having a fixed 4 x versus having an adjustable 2.5-7?
I guess I'm wondering why not the 2.5-7 as it includes the 4? Obviously I'm just starting out and know nothing. |

Obviously I'm just starting out and know nothing. The 4x will be smaller and lighter in most instances. Fixed power scopes tend to be a bit brighter in the same product line than their variable cousins, as there are fewer internal lenses. Each lens surface has some parasitic light loss and reflection. 4x is often plenty for most .22LR purposes and is just about ideal for simple plinking and shooting small "critters" within the effective range of .22LR. Having said that, I have both fixed and variable .22LR scopes, Weaver, Redfield and Leupold. The best combination of optical quality, slim lines, light weight and value are the Leupold VX-1 and VX-2 series in 2-7x. Be sure to either get the rimfire parallax models, or adjustable parallax. Some scopes, notably Leupold, have a removable front cap in front of the objective lens. Behind that is a slotted adjustment ring for changing parallax. That can be used to make their centerfire scopes parallax correct for rimfire distances. I've done that with some of my Leupold variables that are on rimfire rifles. Many people do not know that this is the only difference between Leupold's rimfire scopes and their centerfire scopes in the VX-1 and VX-2 lines. |

Obviously I'm just starting out and know nothing. One nice thing about a fixed 4x is its more compact than a variable ETA- did not see the 2nd page! A fixed power can be easier to mount because the eye piece is more compact |

There are plenty of good scopes out there but I'm a Leupold guy and run them on almost all my my rifles. My daughters CZ-452 Compact has a Leupold VX-1 2-7x Rimfire scope and it's a damn fine optic and more then worth the price IMO.
I have a Leupold 3-9x EFR scopes on a couple of other rimfires and actually prefer that scope for general purpose rimfire use but if you are looking for compact and light weight, the 2-7x is a fine alternative. |
