Rimfire scopes?

[Snowwolfe]

I killed 100's of squirrels when we lived in TN and my favorite scope on a rimfire rifle was a Weaver 4x16. The 16X really helps when the range is pushing 100 yards.

I'll second the Burris Droptine. The rimfire version is better for under 70 yds I guess since it's parallax is set at 50 yds, but I just run the centerfire version on mine.

Not a fan of fixed power. Yes you get very good at one thing, but that one thing is not very good at all specific things.

I like 2-7 if hunting with a 22lr rifle. Anymore power and I feel I’d need a bigger caliber to utilize the scope power.

Swfa 10x. If you shoot a rifle enough you wont be hindered by 10x fixed.

It’s got parralax and can dial for longer shots.

SWFA 10x is pure money on a rim fire haha

I run a SWFA 6x on mine, and I think it’s just about perfect.

I do wish it was a little lighter and smaller profile for a 22LR.

But I’m also borderline abusive to it so it’s nice that it holds up.

SWFA scopes are cool, I’m really just talking about shooting squirrels and porcupines from
Like 30 feet away with this particular rifle though.

 

[huntsman22]

30 whole feet? why bother with a scope at all? Why even bother with a rifle?

SWFA 10x on my Bergara B-14R. It's fantastic!

For something that close, have you thought about a 3x or 5x prism from primary arms?

I’ll check those out, thanks!

Thinhorn what did you end up going with? I’m also looking for a good rimfire scope. I want a lightweight fixed 4x but no one seems to make that anymore

I ended up just getting another tract 22 scope. The one I had on my other rifle has been working great so I just snagged another. It’s a good upgrade from that cheap vortex crossfire.

Get a used Leupold mark 3 3-9x40. Can find em for around 300 if you look around. The 30mm tube on a .22 is a game changer.

You like the 30 mm tube for more light?

 

[mulveymo]

Yeah, more light, faster target acquisition, and really good eye relief. I can just kinda stick my head vaguely behind the scope and I'll be able to find crosshairs quickly, which I really appreciate hunting small game.
