NorKelw 0 Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 Looking for some advice on a new scope for a Turbo 22 LR bench rifle. I've narrowed down between the new NF 42x or the Leupold comp 35x or a 40x scope. The sole purpose is to use for dual benchrest shooting with this new rifle and my 6 PPC Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 A turbo'd 22lr! That's a 22wmr isn't it 1 Quote Link to post
jonghorn1986 0 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 In my opinion bushnell engage 3-9x40mm is the best scope for the money on 22 LR. It has a great review from here: https://ioutdoorpursuit.com/rimfire-scope/. I use one for 50 to 300 yard competition center fire and rimfire and under $200 anywhere Quote Link to post
Meece 1,957 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) This subject has been covered numerous times on here. I never agree with any of the General choices that people come up with. The usual choice is a big multi power zoom. If it is a 22lr then the best choice is a fixed power scope. Unless you are spending serious money then the majority of zoom scopes don't hold a good zero when zoomed. You get better glass for the money with a fixed power. 6X is more than enough magnification for ranges covered by the 22lr. Big mag is hard to hold on target, has small fields of view AND it ain't as if your shooting fleas off of the back of a dog ten miles away. ... still it's your money and your choice. I know what works for me. I use a Leupold 6x42. Edited October 12, 2020 by Meece 1 1 Quote Link to post
