On my T/C contender, I have a Burris 2-7X on the 7-30 Waters Barrel and a T/C 3X on my 35 Rem barrel. Both scopes suit me just fine. I have an older Tasco 4X on the .22 LR barrel with a mil dot that I used for squirrels. Although this scope is fine for my .22, I wouldn't recommend it for a heavier kicker.
