Hi team,
Wanting to look at an upgrade on the 22 so I can plink and varmint out a bit further.
I understand Burris do a 22LR MSR? scope that's calibrated for 22LR? Is this the case, are they in NZ?
Want something sub $300 if possible.
What do you guys use? What's out there?
Would a 223AR reticle scope work?
Oh sick! they look ideal!
Maybe @Pommy can chime in here as he's got one.
I'm running a Bushnell that has interchangeable turrets made for rimfire I bought off here used.
Sounds cool, selling it? ;)Quote:

You'd probably need to negotiate with TR. I threw it on her 22, like I seem to do with any half descent scope that arrives here. Think I bought it off @GWH.Quote:

Rather than getting pre-calculated you're better off getting mil-dot or bdc and use the strelok ballistic app. There will be differences in ammo enough that the subtensions on the pre-calculated scopes will be off by a bit. It also gives you the flexibility to change ammo.Quote:

I’m getting into 22 subs on rabbits - longest is 177m so far
You mean "guessing"? :thumbsup:Quote:

It has the added advantage of an MRAD reticle that perfectly matches the drops in increments of 10m per 0.5 Mil, i.e. 10m per hash mark. This is really handy when there are multiple shots and no time to adjust the dial.
I often think we under-estimate the usefulness and benefits of a tactical type optic on our rimfires, I have found this Vortex is really upped the game on the CZ455.
All of this of course depends on having consistent ammunition, which was fine up until my most recent batch of CCI Standard Velocity, which in the heat of summer in the last few weeks has been consistently producing supersonic shots, 1 in every 5 or so, which is really annoying.
used a leapers 4-16 x 50 on mine mil dot reticle dial turrets dont know if you can get them now got it off what ever 55six was called $250
Yeah im no stranger to dialing just thought a reticle on rabbits would be quicker. Figured i could just validate the hash marks to know what range they are for my rifle, and dial when plinking/got time
I had the 223 ar reticle on a 17hmr and it was awesome, with practice nothing was safe within 170m and it was quick.

@Gibo, try that grubby AR223 of mine, see where the BDC works out. They come up cheap all the time, and they're not terrible when the lenses are clean :thumbsup:
Can you measure the end diameter mate. This bolt makes it a tight fit past the eyebox, its a bit of an ass tbhQuote:

I had a Bushnell AR scope on a 22LR (3 - 9 × 40). I did the maths and worked out how the dots worked for 22 subsonic. Worked really well, still have it if you want it. Now I have a Nikon Prostaff rimfire and a Tract rimfire scope. You can work the range for the bdc reticle on their websites
I used a Burris Fullfield 2 3-9 for a while on my 22 and had great success on bunnies to about 100m and plinking to 120m, the ballistic plex worked great.
Any further than that and dialing will be a better option for the most part (wind becomes a bigger factor too) and I don't tend to trust cheap dialing scopes anymore.
My Hawke works well. It's the 3-9 one. Turrets are capped and underneath it isn't numbered, so dialling it is risky as it'd be easy to lose track.
Illuminated reticle for low light is handy - it can do red or green. The reticle is for 22lr subsonic. Second focal plane obviously so changing the magnification changes what ranges the subtensions represent. Advantage of this is you can use something like Strelok to work out what magnification you'll need to set it to, to get your chosen ammo to line up. Disadvantage is that the scope is then effectively fixed power.
Mine's set just under 7x which makes the crosshair, 75m, 100m, 125m, 150m, 175m, and the post good for 50m, 75m, 99m, 124m, 149m, 174m, and 200m with the ammo I'm using (45gr going at 1000fps rather than your more typical 40gr at 1050fps) so the system is fairly flexible. I find 7x fine for minute of rabbit dome out to as far as the rifle (CZ452) can hit a target that size which is about 150m. Did reasonably well at the S22 comp with it recently too. No guesswork with holdovers or having to dial which meant I was free to just get on with pulling the trigger.
There's a 4-16 and 30mm tubes which I think have side focus too.
Hawke makes a good .22LR subsonic reticle

i brought a guncity brand ranger scope 4x12 with ballistic reticle new of trademe for couple hundred dollars,gun city sell a 3x9 ballistic for $299.
The glass seems nice and chrisp for price.
I haven't done much with mine a part from mount it on gun so can't give you much feed back
The Bushnell Engage series with the Deploy reticle is a great bunny scope. Off the bench I can hit fist sized wooden blocks at 200m easy.
Nikon prostaff BDC reticle. Bloody good. Getting harder to find as nikon have stopped making scopes. Serious shooters had one in the cabinet for just over 3spot. The spot on app is pretty handy.
55SIX have the Nikon 6-18 bdc in stock with more of the 3-9 inbound. They are a nice bright optic for the money.
@55six Nikon scopes no longer in production so these must be old stock without warranty back up? Correct?Quote:
