Never had one, don't know anyone who has one, all I know about them is that they offer a fair choice and are cheap. So over to the owners, they do seem to offer value for money but.........

What are you going to be using the scope for? Rhino aren't well known, I've had some people say they're decent however. Depending on use there is likely to be a better choice.

Sorry mate I missed your reply.

 

Are you going to be shooting foxes under the lamp? If yes, I would prioritise optical quality over magnification. I shoot with a 7x50 Meopta on my Hornet. i would want a bit more mag for a 22-250 I agree, but the difference those optics makes is huge - I can see so much more clearly than with my Nikko 4-12x42 Diamond.

 

I have an MTC Viper on my 22-250, it seems good but I haven't even managed to zero it yet. Certainly the optics are a step up from the c.£150-200 mark scopes, so I would recommend one. It's a 6-24x56 with illuminated reticle. £260 they are, very good VFM.

 

For lamping I would consider going silly if at all possible, and getting something like a Meopta or Leupold VXIII or Burris Euro Diamond. They are all a big step up optically. I didn't believe it would make a difference before I bought my Meopta, but a few foxing trips later and I do believe it. I was out with my Ruger which has a Bushnell Trophy 4-12x40 AO on it and while it did the job, I wished I had better optics on there.
