I have a couple of Browning .22’s that would benefit from a small scope, so I read some reviews and picked a couple of GruBee 4X scopes. I bought a Fox Pup and a Wolf Pup, both with a gloss finish and the 3/4” tube that the old style Redfield scopes had. These small scopes really do match the svelte lines of these two rifles.
For my SA-22, I first bought the Browning cantilever scope mount. I drifted out the rear sight and removed the filler screws in the barrel. The mount screwed right in using a Torx driver, and I adjusted the set screw at the rear to hold the mount level over the receiver.
The Wolf Pup scope had a plex type reticle, which was clear all the way around the glass. It was sent with the proper rings for this mount, and they fit in the cut outs perfectly. The scope mounted easily, but the position of the cuts in the mount meant I had to move it back a bit in the mounts to set my eye relief where I want it. I used removable loc tite to hold things in place.
The Fox Pup scope is designed for smaller rifles with short LOP, which is exactly the ticket for my BL-22 Micro Midas with its 12” LOP.
This mounted directly to the grooved receiver, making this install a snap. The scope has a plex-dot reticle, which also is clear all across the scope and looks pretty good when looking through it.
I haven’t sighted the guns in yet, I hope to sight them in to be dead on at 50 yds at some point next week.
I like the scale of these scopes, anything larger would dwarf the guns and look out of proportion. Hopefully the scopes zero easily and stay zeroed, I will add to this post when I get a chance to shoot.
Stay safe.
