What Scope For. 22 Rimfire

[Ross73 6]

Hi what's the best scope for my. 22. It's mostly for knocking over rabbits

[Bunny Boiler 177]

Any decent £200 scope 8x40 or similar will do for some amateur bunny bashing.

I am also a big fan of fixed scopes. 6 X 40 would also suffice

I use a mk1 Hawke eclipse 3-9x50 ir. Although I do leave it set at 6x mag. Mildot or other is a must imo

3-9x40 hawke hd sport. i have same on my 22lr and 17hmr. i leave it on 6 power, unless i'm playing around and trying to hit smaller targets than bunny heads.

Scopes and reticles get very personal and everyone has an opinion. If you mean a .22lr anything variable around the 3-12 mag area that you can see the intended quarry with and holds zero.

 

£100 is plenty on the whole for normal field use, but spend what you want.

I just got a lovely new scope, thanks JJM. It's going on my .22lr, when I get it. However, I know it's massively overkill. It would be sufficient for most .223's at least. I'd be happy with it on a .223 or even a .243.

 

If you're just popping bunnies, you really won't need anything more than 8x mag. I know a lot of guys that rock up with fixed 4x and others that like the accuracy of a 6x or 8x.

 

The best thing you can do, get as many scopes that you already have, try them out. See what kinds of ranges you're aiming for (like what I did there? I'm the pun-master haha)and then adjust according to that data.

 

As for brands and style of reticle....it's hugely down to preference. I got pretty good with a standard cross style, no mil dot or marks. However, I do recognise the benefits they hold and how brilliant a tool they can be for when you're having an off day.

 

What current optics do you have access to?

I use a Nikon Monarch 6x42 fixed power and it's all you will ever need, i'm looking for another for my .22mag.

I find that money for money fixed power scopes tend to be clearer and less parts is allways better.
