| What's the hotness in 22lr scopes right now? |
|
I went a little overkill and put a H-2 (aimpoint) on my AR22lr upper.
For simple plinking it's fantastic. I have a a variable scope on my 22lr CZ455 rifle. I think any red dot would be ideal for that. Maybe check out vortex or primary arms for a cheaper red dot alternative. |

But maybe a lil variable for the dedicated upper. I have spare red dots I could use, also. Wondering if anyone has had a bunch of fun with the 22lr specific scopes. |
| I've got a vortex rimfire 2-7 (I think its a crossfire) that does really well on a rimfire. I have it setup in a mini-scout role right now on top of a savage MKII, but don't think there would be any issue throwing it on a 22lr ar upper either. Theres a lot of fun to be had testing your abilities with shotgun hulls upside down in the dirt, golf balls, etc. at a 50-75 yard range. |

Got pics? Sounds interesting. Not my rifle, but a nearly identical setup with the one exception being that I'm using a one piece rail and low rings, and he has his rings mounted to the receiver directly. Attached File Attached File |

Nikon 3-9 x 40 Rimfire or Leupold 2-7 x 33 Rimfire. Both have proper .22 parallax settings. Both have very clear optics, are durable, hold zero and have good warranties (I think Leupolds warranty is better though) . The Nikon is less expensive.
Obviously the Nikon has more magnification and a larger, light gathering objective end so consequently it is larger and heavier. The leupold is very light weight and the smaller objective has never been an issue for me. There are many other options, but I know from personal experience these two scopes are at the top of the heap. |

A smaller bell works for most things.... people take the night force 2-10x24 and vortex 2.5-10x32 out to 1000 yards etc. 40mm obj make AR's balance poorly imo. I ditched my trijicon accupoint 3-9x40 pretty quick even tho it was a super nice scope. More at home on a deer rifle. |
