Thread: 22 wmr vs goats

You could also run a standard scope in quick detach rings, open sights for goats with the hot load and then put the scope on when your in small game mode. You can get a get a scout mount for the rossi, but your scope choice is then limited to scout scopes or a red dot. However it sounds like you just a .22mag. Just get it if that's what you want, life is too short.

Set it up the same way we used to do it in the 'good old days', back when we had the freedom to shoot centrefire semi's - run double optics.
Glass on top for the long shots, and a little red dot on the 45deg for the close stuff.
