    Yes, I agree, single turn is the way to go for hunting and field target shooting.

    I sort of feel if you need to go to a second turn you're doing something a bit unnatural. Specially with a 22LR. You need the scope verticality and adjustments to be really spot on to hit a small target when you've dialled up more than 10 mils.

    It will be interesting to see if people come up with a mid priced scope that can adjust that far. I've just got a new VX3i 4.5-14 like the one you showed me at Tarata (thanks) and it has 5.5 Mil on the first turn. I haven't dared wind it much further in case I get lost; it doesn't have a turn indicator or anything. However 55cm should be enough to reach 500m which is way past what the rifle is meant for.
