3 Rifles, 4 scopes to choose from....

10/22 with Kidd Barrel, Trigger, Victor Company stock.... 3/4" grouping at 100 yards

Bergara HMR 308

6.5 Grendel AR.

Scopes:
4-16x Vortex Viper PST Gen 1
4-12x Vortex 22 scope
Fixed 10x SWFA
3-15x SWFA SS

Cant decide if I want to run the 3-15x on the Bergara and the Viper on the 10/22, or to run the 3-15 on the Bergara and the fixed 10x on the 10/22

10/22 is the trainer for the Bergara, thinking about seeing if SWFA will do a trade with the Vortex for a 5-20x SS and pair that and the 3-15 up.

Here's my idea:

3-15x SWFA SS on the Bergara HMR
10x SWFA SS on the 10/22
4-16x Viper on the 6.5 Grendel
Crossfire 2 on my 700 300blk

Most ranges around me are only 250-350, if I want to get to 1000, it takes a bit of planning.

Where in NC are you?

I have a 20moa base on the 22, there's a 300 yard 22 Match I keep meaning to get to.

The 20 moa base and those scopes should get you to 300. I would want a little more power than 10. I use a 3-18x on my .22 match rifle. I would put the 4-16x or 3-15x on it.

I thought about seeing if SWFA would swap my Viper for a 5-20x

I was told as a young shooter, put the best scope you've got on the gun you'll shoot the most.
Worked well for me, but caused some heads to turn with £1000 German optics on a .22 bolt action

Don't have that kind of cash around anymore.  Playing with used gear for now.

I would have to see about the swap what I could get.

The best optics goes on the rifle with the longest range.
The scope with the most vertical travel goes on the 10/22.

Best optics on longest range is so you can see the target.
Longest vertical is so you can stretch the 10/22 to 400-600 yards.
