I have a 10/22 target on the way and am looking at 2 options...and please give me other ideas too. This will be for fun target plinking at the range and have a budget around 200.00.

1st Nitrex TR One 3-9x42mm Rifle Scope Matte Finish Ballistic X Reticle

2nd Mueller APV http://www.opticsplanet.net/mueller-optics-4-5-14x40mm-ao-apv-rifle-scope.html

I chose the Mueller on my 10/22. No complaints at all.

[Haxby]

IMO, the Nitrex is the best deal going for a big game scope. Only problem might be the parallax at rimfire distances.
No experience with the Mueller.
Nikon rimfire models should be worth a look, and there's probably something in the Bushnell Trophy XLT line.

[TurtlePhish]

Mueller APVs are loved by tons of rimfire shooters. And like Haxby said, Nikons are good too.

[stchman]

The Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 Rimfire BDC is a good choice. Nikon makes excellent scopes for the money.

The BDC reticle in that particular scope is specifically designed for rimfire.

Bushnell Banner 6-18x50 with AO

[kcshooter]

Consider a Redfield in a 2-7x or 3-9x. Same price range as the Weaver branded ones, it's made by Leupold.

Nothing wrong with the Weavers, but the Redfield's are a good option too.

[wingman]

Depends on how you plan to shoot,bench target then the Mueller APV 4x14 is ideal, hunting, plinking the Redfield 2x7,both very clear with top spot going to the Mueller. I have both and prefer the Mueller.

[Furncliff]

The Nitrex scope I bought on a whim is my favorite scope it's a 6-20X50 and I have it on a .22 target rifle. I would recommend the Nitrex you list but can't because it doesn't have AO. That something you need if you are shooting a target .22. So go with the Mueller or bump the budget up to one of the Nitrex scopes with AO.

[TonyAngel]

What's the longest distance you will be shooting?

[steveo452]

I think both are good for the money. I'd go with the Mueller for the higher power & adjustable obj. for target shooting.

[shootniron]

I have Nikon Prostaff BDC (not rimfire) on all of mine including the 22mags and they work very well.

[hardluk1]

For the budget minded walmart centerpoint 4-16 for 69 bucks. For a step up midway usa has had a clearence sale ever couple months on a BSA 30mm tube 6-24 x 44 TMD 30mm tube and side focus. Great scope. 140.00 for a 250 dollar scope.

[Driftertank]

Sorry, i know the question was "which of these 2 scopes," but thought i'd say i recently picked up a Simmons 22 MAG 3-9x32 for $50 at Big5, for my 10/22. and i was shocked at how bright and clear the glass was for that price. Parallax is set at 50 yds, eye relief is fairly good...heck of a value for the dollar, IMO. Killed a dozen or so sage rats in the month i've had it. Seems like a great performing, inexpensive little scope for a great performing, inexpensive little rifle.

Friend of mine actually has the same scope on his sporterized Mosin-Nagant carbine. It's held up on that for over a year now, though i'm not entirely convinced his zero doesn't creep under the recoil of the 54r....either that or he's not so good a shot as he boasts....

[saenzrich]

Now I am needing to mount it. I was thinking about a DNZ mount but which height mount...LOW or MEDIUM. This gun will have the .920 heavy barrel and I wanted to mount it as low as possible. Those with this setup will the low rings work?

[TxBobS]

Not sure if they will work but I just bookmarked this for a future scope on my 10/22.

[greyling22]

APv is a good choice.

I have the nitrex 6-20x50. nice glass, small eyebox, huge scope.

Google is your friend..... http://www.leupold.com/_pdfs/BaseFit_RingHght.pdf

If it were me, I would err on the side of caution and go with medium height for the Mueller, Low might work however.

I dont know if you guys knew it or not, but DNZ used to be DeadNutz. Great one piece mounts for the 10-22.

[nathan]

Get one with the AO.

[erkman]

APV in medium DNZ mount

[CraigC]

I would've gone with the APT but the APV is a good one too.

You can get away with a 1-4x or a fixed 4x centerfire scope on a rimfire but the higher powered variables will cause noticeable parallax issues at higher magnification. It was wise not to go with the 3-9x.

Low rings won't work. Need mediums.

[DoubleTapDrew]

I went with low rings on my APV. With the size of the objective on the scope and a heavy barrel you'll probably need medium rings. Mine just BARELY clears the barrel but only because I have a fluted barrel and the scope dips down into the top flute.

[desidog]

saenzrich,

What kind of a stock do you have?

As far as scope height goes, you have two issues, one is the bell clearing the barrel; the other is whether you have a proper cheek-weld with the stock when looking through the scope.

My hunting 10/22 has a Hogue overmold stock, and i use low rings for proper alignment, but my target set-up has a Boyd's thumbhole stock that has a much higher comb.

Bases being equal, the two stocks demand different height rings. ...and of course, not all bases are equal: the height of the rail off the receiver varies between aftermarket products. (as does ring heights between manufacturers.) If you have a new 10/22 with the factory piccatinny rail, as opposed to the older guns that only came with a 3/8" dovetail rail....

[2005 Vette]

Does anyone have one of these scopes set up on a Sig 522? What kind of mount did you use?

[saenzrich]

This will be going on the 10/22 Vleh 1230 model with the hogue overmold stock...from the sound of it I will need the medium height DNZ rings...

[wnycollector]

I own three Mueller APV's, a Nitrex TR1 and two Nitrex TR2's. Either scope would have served you well, but I think you made a good choice since the APV since it has AO. I do 90% of my 22lr shooting in the 50-75 yard range so AO is a welcome feature.

[mauiglide]

I'm sure you won't go wrong with any of the scopes the OP listed. For me, after a little research I went with a Nikon ProStaff Target EFR rimfire 3-9X40mm scope. Also using Burris Zee Signature medium height scope rings.
