I took the plunge and bought my first nice (for me) sporter bolt action .22lr.... Anschutz 1416 HB Classic. It's quite a step up from my Marlin and Ruger semis, but not a "top of the line" Anschutz.
Anyway, I'm looking for a good scope. I've always been very cheap with scopes (Bushnell Banner is my best right now), and I'm ready to step up to something that "fits" the quality of this rifle. I'd like to stay in the $300 range (obviously, cheaper is better). Mostly for target, but would like to be able to hunt with it also.
Any suggestions? Since it's a rimfire, do I need to have AO? Do I really need to spend that much to get quality optics. Ignorance is bliss...I don't know what I'm missing right now.
Thanks!
