    I have a diverse range of optics on .22's
    From cheep bushnel t25 red dots, aimpoint h1,fixed 4x lepolds(fantastic value second hand), trijicon 1-4,Leopold rimfire target scope (my favorite),bushnel 10x , and a z3.

    As I shoot more with .22 than centerfire and in often poor light I feel it's worth using good optics if you can justify the expense.

    Have used the army's trick of a ringbinder reinforcing sticker to deal with parallax on some and some have had them adjusted. Of course some where made for .22 or are adjustable so not a issue for those.

    Some of my friends make fun of a .22 with a scope on it that cost more than the rifle even if they do the same for there centerfires, for me it's a pride of ownership thing as well as I think in most cases the optic is the most important part of the package, followed by ammo and then how fancy the rifle is.
    I cringe at friends with $800 rifles who only spend $50 on the cheapest scope they can find if they consider it a long term thing.

    If I was in a tight budget a jw15 with a second hand fixed 4x of good quality would probably be my choice-it's what I used from 10-22years old and the setup is still going strong in daily use by my uncle over a decade later.

    Wow I wrote a novel, I really am procrastinating from what I should be doing
