Need help on Scope for my 10/22.......

[kevin40_2001]

Looking to get a magnified optic for my 10/22. I have an Archangel kit on it so it is more of a tactical looking rifle now. I have basically narrowed to two options that I like.

I am looking to stay under $200 as well.

Your thoughts on these on any others out there would be appreciated.

You could get a (made in the USA) Leupold for around $200. I would take crappiest Leupold or Redfield over either of those.

What's your knock on the PA?

What distances are you going to typically shoot your .22 at?

Rimfire scopes have a different focal plane (50 yards) than that of center fire scopes (100 yds) if the focal plane is fixed. Some scopes have an adjustable focal plane.

From what I've read Parallax becomes a bigger factor shooting shorter distances with a scope with a 100 yard focal plane.

I like all the Primary Arms branded products I've seen and have. I think they are a good value for the money.

I have been looking at this Nikon since it is made for rimfire and has an adjustable focal plane setting from 10 yards to infinity.

Something like this may work for you too.

I like the BSA sweet22 series. Not the best glass, but accurate with the right setup. Ie, scope height, grain weight, velocity. Quick adjust "tactical" type turrets. Won't break the bank

I don't see myself shooting the rifle more than 100 yards. I have other rifles for that. I like this Nikon. I guess there are so many choices out there I just want to be happy with what I purchase and I have not found one PA product that disappointed me.

i have a nikon prostaff 3-9 x 40mm bdc 150 on my 10/22 that has the archangel nomad kit on it and really like the scope. clear good glass, solid build, and really like the zeroing turrets. right now they also have a $30 rebate. my friend runs the bsa sweet .22 which he likes and seems like a good alternative for about 1/2 the price of the nikon

+1 on a Nikon 3x9, I almost got the Prostaff but went with Buckmaster instead. If your just plinking and target shooting it's always fun to have that nice of a magnification to try to keep your groups as close as possible.

another plus for the nikon bdc150 really like the target knobs.

Last I checked the Weaver rimfires were made in Japan and in your price range. Good scopes for the money. Have owned several and currently own one.

I have found a high quality red dot a lot of fun on my 10/22. Sightron with four different reticles and lifetime warranty.
