22LR Scope Opinions

liberty1743 · 06-14-2009, 04:52 PM

I treated myself to a really nice heavy barreled stainless 22LR rifle with a beautiful dark laminate thumbhole stock. I'm looking for a scope to do it justice, but it seems that rimfire glass doesn't have nearly the selection as its centerfire brethren. Although I plan on hunting with it, I am primarily going to use it for target practice.Anyone have a suggestion(s)?I don"™t want a $50 jobber, but I don"™t want to spend $500 either. I plan on having this rifle for the rest of my life.

Bushnell makes great stuff. I can not suggest a specific though.

They also have some nice Bushnell and Nikons reduced/up for grabs.

Luepold makes some great rimfire scopes. Since this is a heavy barrel gun I would suggest the 3-9x33mm EFR rim fire,it has adj focus from say 10m to infinity. Its has the fine dupellex reticale to.

I have the standard 3-9x33m EFR on a hornet and a 3-9x33mm light weight with fine dupellex and parallex set to 60 yrads as most RF's scopes do. This is on a 22WMR and it works great. I also have the 2-7x28 RF on a 22lr but would prefer the 3-9x33 on it to. I sent it to Leupold to have the retical and parllex changed.

These would run from $200-$350 but are the smallest and best scopes for a 22lr.
