Thread: is a 3-9x40 scope an overkill for a .22?

Not really a fair comparision as I use my competition 22 for hunting but have used my 3-15 Vortex PST a lot as well as the Delta Stryker 4.5-30.

The Delta actually came in very useful for a awile as I was shooting magpies in a tree outside my back door, which involved shooting through the branches of another tree (which there were a lot of).
The high magnification and FFP reticle was great for all the little "loop holes" created by the branches.

My favorite scope for my 22 is my 2.5-10x32 Vortex PST, I've tended towrds FFP scopes for everything these days and this scope is one of the better lower mag FFP options.
