22 scope thoughts

[ricksplace]

I just bought a Stoeger airgun scope. 3 to 9 X40, A/O from 10 meters to 300 and infinity. 1" tube, target knobs, 1/4 moa clicks. $67.50 at my local gunshop. Crystal clear. I put it on my Norinco JW15e.

I have BSA 3 X 9 made for the 22lr with 3 different elevation drums for different bullet weights. The drums are marked with yardages so if you can estimate range well or have a rangefinder you can set the drum to the range and pull the trigger. Works great.

Think it was $40 from the Sportsman's Guide plus shipping. Very bright optics, clear, has an AO. Only goes to 175 yards so beyond that you have to hold over.

The scope is a little heavier than a "normal" scope but if you shoot longer ranges it works well. Cabela's sells similar scopes and I have one for the 17HMR on my Savage.

Is that the BSA with the Mil dots? I have seen some locally and they have turrets etc. The price was very competitive but I have sat on my hands for fear of poor quality. The optics sure are crisp though.

my favorite 22 scope is a burris 6x mini. it is a fixed power. Has good subtends to use for range estimation (if you don't know what subtends are, have a look at one of the major scope manufacturers scope specifications, you can range find with them). The scope is full 1 inch tube has small occular lense so it doesn't look bad on a 22. Mine has good clarity from 25 feet to 100 yards and has enough eye relief to make it easily mounted on a variety of 22 rifles.

The downside, well it is no longer made. but a suitable replacement should be available.

4x or a 2-7. Leupold prefured.

Wally world Center Point think it cost $70 its on my Savage 93R17 FV in 17 HMR 25 rounds back to back under an quarter in diameter at 100 yards.

Go to shops that sell used scopes and find an old Weaver steel scope, I have a K6-1 on my Ruger 17HMR lever action and a K4-1 on my Marlin 39A. These things are cheap and indestructible.

How do you figure?

I was fortunate and picked up two Leupold dangerous game 1.5-5 VariX III scopes from the late 80's for 75.00 each (used). They are straight tube 1 inch scopes and are extremely bright. They are small and light and parallax free 25 - 125 yards. I figure any scope made for the 416 weatherby should stand up to my browning buckmark carbine over and over and over!! I spent the money I saved on scopes and sprung for the talley mounts. For my needs, these work REALLY well.
