.22 LR

OK, so you will need something to help estimate drop.

 

Under £300, secondhand is good. Bushnell 4200 might be OK, want the mildot ret though. Or MTC, worth a look if you like the ret. Works well but not great under the lamp, EXCEPT on rimfires when the range is short.

 

Or a Falcon Menace 7.5x50, which is mildot with good adjustments and pretty good glass.

No need to go mad !

 

Depends on what you are going to be trying to do. You will most likely will be shooting at about 20-60 m with the odd long shot.

With hardly any recoil on rf rifles shock is not a big issue.

keep it simple with reticules as if night shooting or in poor light tactical/mill dots are hard to see.

Try to resist the temptation to have all the bells and whistles .

You could have a variable although most people keep them on one mag and sometimes wind them up to check targets on the range as high mags need a firm rest.

 

Provarmint is pointing you in the right direction but don't spend all your budget on glass as you also need good mounts.

 

Take a look at the simmons master series prohunter 3-9x40 £ 125

 

42mm objective lens should be about the max you should need.

Average killing range for rabbits with sub-sonic ammo i about 50/60 yds no need for all singing, all dancing optics buy a decent mid range scope without parallax adjustment ( pain in the butt) about £150, i tend to go fixed mag , but it,s your choice Keep the rest of the cash for another investment perhaps a centrfire

i favor the burris fullfield II, i have one on my savage .22lr in 3-9x40 and i find the ballistic plex reticle very handy without needing to adjust target turrets for different ranges and for the price the optics are superb. i personally like adjustable parallax, but that's just me.

i have a nikko sterling nighteater 4-16x50 with mil-dot reticle on my cz 452 style and it does just what i want it too. havnt had an oppurtunity to use it at night yet but during the day its great. looking at a rabbit at 267 yards it looked crystal clear. obviously shooting it at that distance was another thing. good optics you wont be disappointed

[jamie g 17]

for 22lr i would go with a 3x12x44 or 50
