scope recommendations

[Ron M.]

For an inexpensive starter scope take a look at a Mueller APV or for 30mm rings an APT. They're both good rimfire class scopes with decent clarity and quality. Not high-end by any means, but great for trying an Adjustable Objective scope with adequate (4.5-14) magnification.

I have the Vortex Crossfire II.  Honestly, its plenty of optic for a .22

Glass is decent, mil-dot and the adjustments feel good while clicking through them.  I made a couple dope charts for the different rounds that I use (some target, some CCI Quiet for squirrels in the back yard) and if I made mil adjustments I know that the gun is zeroed every time. 

You can pick one up under $250.  I have 0 complaints.  No need to spend $500+ if your tight on cash.  I was at the time, and I could replace it today with a $500 optic if I wanted too, but shooting out to 200 yards I don't really have a reason to justify a better optic. It does what I need it to and does it well.  Whatever you go with, good luck and have fun!
