.22 LR rifle scope

[Gstew1930]

I'm looking for suggestion on a .22 lr rifle scope. Something with a higher mag range. Zero stop. Not looking to spend a ton of money on this. Open to any and all suggestions. I have a SWFA 6x with mil quad if anyone is interested in trading

 

[Ethan Parry]

What’s your price range?

 

[Gstew1930]

I'd like to keep it under $600

 

[Ethan Parry]

I have a new in box Leupold VX-Freedom 4-12 with cds and TRI-MOA reticle I would like to sell. Feel free to PM me if interested.

 

[Gstew1930]

I appreciate the offer. Not really what I'm looking for. I'm thinking 20x on the mag & in mils. Thank you though

 

[atmat]

Something without higher mag range.

I'm thinking 20x on the mag & in mils

Huh?

 

[Gstew1930]

Huh?

Typo. I meant to say something with higher mag range. I'll fix it. Thank you

Arken Optics EPL4 FFP​

I ran a RS 1.2 on my precision .22 until I needed it on a Tikka.
The Arken replaced it and is working fantastic. The price is right and meets the requirements I needed, which includes shooting out to 400 yards. It passed my abbreviated drop test.

This is a field evaluation of the Arken EPL-4 4-16x44mm F1 scope. This scope was brought to me from Ryan Avery for an evaluation. The ammunition used was Hornady Black 168gr AMAX that was purchased by Ryan. The 20 round proof group was just over 1.1 MOA, and the largest 10 round group that has been fired with this LOT # is 1.4 MOA.


The scope and weight:




Turrets:


Elevation turret is exposed, revolution indicated, 8 mils per rev, with a zero stop. Zero stop requires a tool. Windage is capped, non-revolution indicated, and tool less reset.

Yeah I've been looking at these. They are just out of stock with like a 2 month lead time it looks like

 

[nuffgun]

Been waiting on my Arken EPL4 for 15 weeks. I’m going to give them one more week then I am going to pull plug and order a Swfa 10x

 

[satchamo]

I went through this recently and ended up putting a swfa 3x9 on my t1x. It’s been working great so far but I can def see the need for higher mag. I’ll eventually pull it off for another rifle and at that point I’ll be looking the arken. I’m not worried about having a RS approved scope on a 22 and their price point and mag ranges fit the bill.

Exactly how I feel. I was looking for something to screw around with. I dont hunt with this 22 so if it loses zero no big deal. I ended up buying a discoveryopt 5-30 this morning. For the price I think it was worth rolling the dice. Should be garbage

 

[Thatguy01]

I’ll put my vote in for the Athlon line. Good glass for the price point.

I have an element arms FFP 6x24 I really like, the parallax goes to 10 yards which is really nice

I've gotten mine off Amazon. But they were out of stock.
I just bought an Athlon Ares BTR 2.5-15 gen 2 off Euro for $500 for my 10/22 trainer.

.22’s are great training tools! No magic to .22 scopes except that adjustable parallax is mandatory. I’ve got a SWFA 20 power on one (useable but fussy eyebox), a VX Freedom 3-9 EFR on a lightweight build, and a Viper HD on another. For your purposes I’d grab a refurbished Viper HD from AA optics.
