Thread: What scope to choose (.22 benchrest)?

Yeah mate
Got 2 of these
And a couple of leupold vx3 6.5-20efr’s
The leupold is a much more expensive scope but in my honest opinion unless you really need big target style turrets
Which for 25m you probably don’t 20x is plenty of power at 25m you can aim in the Center of a .22 bullet hole in paper - most of my shooting was indoor so didn’t need turrets
As once the scope is zeroed it’s zeroed
But even if you did need a few clicks here and there for wind
The smooth adjustment in the weaver will do the job
Just take the caps off before you start shooting

Personally the only Difference between the vx3 and the grand slam is the vx3 has those tall turrets
Apart from that they are muchnesses and muchnesses some say that the weaver glass is even slightly better but I can’t tell them apart when looking through them
