OK Hive what do you think? Leupold 4.5-14x50 Mark 4 LR/T 30mm Rifle scope on a Savage Mark II-BV $1000 scope on a $350 22lr rifle  |
Now this is a guy i want to shoot beside.
I like the way you think. OP, enjoy it on the rifle for now and transfer it to something else later if you wish. |
FWIW and it's your call , but since you asked : If it was my thousand: Not over $550 and 9 power for the scope. $250.00 Victoria's gift certificate for wife ( or steady lady , if that fits). $200.00 for some kind of ammo or maybe toward the vaca and entertainment fund. YMMV |
Yeah, regarding transferring it, I selected slightly higher TPS rings than I needed so it can be easily switched over to my HBAR AR. It has an EOTech on it right now and that would be fun on a 10/22 so it'll be good to switch them around when I want to mix things up. |

One thing I hadn't considered before: what's the minimum focus point on that scope? At what ranges do you normally shoot .22? If you have parallax issues at that range, then I'd go with something else - such as a Leupy VX-II EFR with LR reticle. eta: My catalog says it focuses from 50 yards to infinity. If you shoot often at less than 50 yards, go with something else. |

That's One or the reasons I wanted to try this scope out on my 22LR. I Originally had a Leupold 22LR 4 power scope on the rifle then I Put a Old BURRIS FULLFIELD 3-9 on it. Having Issues With the Zoom On the Burris Because of the old style deer hunting ranging reticle .
Good Point! Now You got me Wondering . The Ranges I usually shoot at are: 50Feet, 25yards, 50yards and 100. The Dedicated Leupold 22LR had I believe a 75 yard Parallax And the Burris Had a 100 yard Parallax. I had No problems shooting @ 50 Feet. Since The Leupold is a Long Range Scope with side Focus I may no be able to shoot @ the 50 feet and 25yards ranges. I guess I have To try it out to see if it works.
Its a Duplex reticle not a Mill dot so does it really Matter? Whats The max range on a 22LR for accuracy ? |

As you get older you increasingly appreciate good optics as your eyes get worse. I despise cheap scopes, but your choice does seem like overkill. Here's what I recommend that's quality glass for a lot less with comparable power: Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16x50 I have the same scope except 4-16x40 on my .17HMR CZ, and love it. |
