Where we live our range has 50, 75 and 100 yard metallic shoots for 22 L.R. We also have a 200 yd competition for the little 22 L.R. I have decided to try my hand at it and I wanted a decent scope for this endeavor...after researching I settled on th Bushnell RIMFIRE 3 x 9 by 40 mm scope. It has marks on the lenses for 50 yds; 75 yds; 100 yds; and 125 yds. I did not know until after I bought it that I could have gotten an illuinated scope for a few dollars more.
What sold me was if you use 40 grain 1,250 FPS ammunition you simply use the the right reference dot on the crosshairs and fire away and you are on the mark. I got the scope and mounted it on my rifle and off to the range I went! The optics are clear and sharp and comes with a life time warranty...but at my age a lifetime warranty is not as good a deal as it was 20 or 30 years ago but it was a selling spot for me! I love Leupold scopes and settled for the cheaper scope based on how it is set up for 40 grain bullets! So far so good (It is China made.) and if you are looking for a decent scope for your old rimfire rifle I believe you might like it....but spend a few dollars more and get the illuminated version!
