I have a 3x9x40 I am thinking of putting on it , but a buddy says that is to much scope for a 22. So Arfcom what would you recomend for a .22? |
Good for you! My son and I just mounted a Bushnell Sportview 3-9 on our 10/22 last night. I also let him use the irons for the past three years. Now he gets to use a scope. Range report coming in a few weeks. |

I just bought a used CZ513 and put on a 3-9x32mm Bushnell (from Natchez SS) on it with some Leupold rings from Wal-Mart(cost me $45+$12 for the rings). I had a chance to sight it in a little while back- deadly to shotgun hulls at 50 yards. I'd shoot it more if it wasn't so damn cold out (-10 right now in the middle of the day; where's the global warming you promised me Al Gore!?!) |

I've got a Simmons 4-12x44mm scope on my Ruger 77/22. It is an air-rifle scope. I typically use it for precision shots at less than 30 yards. The adjustable objective allows me to focus much closer than that. It allows me to aim for eyeballs on varmints, rather than just a general headshot. (typically aim in the center of the triangle made by the two eyes and nose) The larger objective lens is also very beneficial at dusk, as it gathers more light than your eye, so you can see better through the scope than you can unaided. I just purchased three of Simmon's new 4-12x40 Side Focus scopes for other rimfire rifles. Side focus is easier to adjust while looking through the scope. |

I have a tricked out 10/22 that may very well be more accurate at 100 yards than most center fire rifles. It has a Leupold 6.5-20x40 on it. My daughter likes to shoot old shotgun shells at 100 yards with it. She almost NEVER missed with CCI Green Tag. She thinks it is about right. Good Luck Bill |
