Was going to ask in Optics forum but I think this is more a AR22 question.
What AR22 scope is working out for you on a semi precision build? I tried a 2-7x33 because I liked the size and thought it would have enough power and it did not have enough horsepower for my old eyes. I am thinking a good crisp clear 3-9x40 would do it for me, again trying to keep it somewhat compact. I looked through a Vortex Diamondback and liked what I saw but it did not have an adjustable objective. Any suggestions on a scope with fine enough cross hairs for a 22, that is not too large/heavy, bright and crisp and not big money. Unicorn? 
Thanks |

I understand about the eye sight and I really like 2.5-10 scopes a little more than 3-9. A Friend has a Bushnell 3-12X40 Sweet 22 scope with AO and I have a sweet 17 3-12 AO on my Savage Mark II 17 HMR. For the price I really like the Sweet 17 and if I needed another 22 rimfire scope I'd probably buy a Sweet 22.
I really like Leupold and Vortex optics and have looked at the Diamondback scopes and will probably buy one for my centerfire AR. |

I put this Leupold on my AR22 but it's only a 2x7. I do believe they make something a bit bigger but I'd have to do a little looking to find out. As far as the one I have, it's very clear and gathers light very well. I'd have no reservations about buying a more powerful model.
PS: has cross hair reticle too ETA: I found this on Optic Planet site Model: Leupold VX-2 3-9x33mm Rimfire Rifle Scope, EFR, Matte, Fine Duplex 110827 $399.?? |

I got one of these for my accurized 10/22 but haven't mounted it yet. Cheap at ~$200.

I'm happy to sacrifice scope size for magnification, even on an AR. To me its just not worth it to sacrifice magnification. 3-9 min, 4-16 preferred for me on a a .22. Side parallax adjustment is very, very nice to have too.
I have a cheap red dot on a QD mount, and a 3-9 on another, and that suits me well. I'd rather have more magnification but that's where I landed. I think you made and excellent choice with 18x mag! |
