Rimfire scope recs

Vortex or Meopta may be the best bang for buck right now. Put a Vortex on my 22-250, its a pretty damn good scope.

Nikon Prostaffs are quality lenses that hold zero for a reasonable price. Have them on a 30-06 and 270.

I’ve got a vortex diamond on my cz 453. And a pos Bushnell Banner on my Henry. I don’t have much use on the vortex but it’s nice. The banner I beat to shite and it holds zero all day. I probably check it once a year. Nice little scope and with 1-4x, the 1x is basically a red dot.

The Leupold rimfire series is nice. I have the 3x9 on my 39A and it's awesome.

Yeah I wouldn't think I need anything more than that. Saw a $100 Simmons on Amazon, thought about giving that or Nikon prostaff rimfire a try.

Thanks for the replies. Going to look into the Nikon and Vortex. Leupold wouldn't be a bad choice, just a little more than I'd like to spend.

Will update when it arrives

I bet you'll like your new gun. One of my hunting buddies has a Ruger 77/22 in 22 Mag and it's one of his "go to guns." His will shoot 1" groups (sometimes less) at 100 yards w/ Critical Critical Defense ammo. I'm not sure how much magnification you want/need on your new scope. Call me a "El Cheapo", but I've had good experiences using low end, inexpensive scopes on rimfire. For general hunting/plinking, I lean towards 2-7X or possibly 3-9X. I've got an old Tasco, an old Simmons and a low end Burris on 22's. My son's 10/22 has a factory refurb Nikon 2-7X. On my 17 Mach 2 and my son's 17 HMR, I've got a Mueller 4.5-14X Tactical and a Mueller 4.5-14X APV. The Mueller's are well thought of on the Rimfirecentral.com site. It's hard to go wrong on rimfire scopes. If you get a scope that doesn't have an adjustable objective, I'd consider getting a scope designed for a rimfire. You might get parallel problems using a big game scope at the close rimfire ranges. I would stay away from Barska and NcStar.

I have really have enjoyed the bugbuster for my ar-15. Not sure if this is specifically what you are interested in, but It works incredibly well for me.

Damn, you're right. My bad...leopold's start at 200.

Was just looking at some clearance scopes on cabelas website. There’s a Nikon bdc for a 50cal muzzleloader for 119$ good glass just wrong lines if that’s important to you. Have had good luck with cabelas rimfire specific scopes with turrets as well as the bdc version. Sure is fun walking shots in on a crow or Coon at 150-200 yards

I’m on this quest as well and really wanted a Vortex but the Nikon and Leupold glass looks soo much better to me.
