school me on rimfire scopes

[mainecoon]

Got a Ruger 10/22 and am thinking of putting a scope on it. Have never used a dedicated rimfire scope before, only standard hunting scopes. Will a rimfire scope allow me to hold on the bullseye at 100yds with a 22? Or at least have the target within my sights?

In my experience, even if your scope has a BDR, there is still a bit of Kentucky windage involved unless you use only one brand and type of ammo and shoot in ideal conditions all of the time

I do think BDRs can help but personally I prefer not to have a BDR as I find it a bit distracting particularly in moving target situations such as rabbits. Following the running / jumping, the BDR gets lost / confused with the small brush.

That's me though. And yes I can and do hit them on the fly.

Your application and situation may be a lot different.

I am not much for getting a 22 specific scope. I normally use an on the lower end 3x9 from a quality maker. I have three .22 rifles with 3x9's on all of them.

I generally agree.

I don't spend more than about $75 for scope and rings for my 22s and nothing 'better' than CCI Minimags.

I gave up Olympic shooting yrs ago

Most centerfire scopes have parallax set at 100 yards, most rimfire scopes at 50 yards and they are often less robust in construction. The Parallax issue isn't that big of a deal, especially if you want to shoot 22's at 100 yards. I wouldn't buy a dedicated rimfire scope.

I like vortex links to 2x7 rim fire and 2 x 8 Adjustable. I have the 2 x 7 and am happy with it.

The Leupold 2x7 Rimfire is a nice scope. I've killed a few groundhogs at 100 yards with it.

You can check out Nikon's P-Rimfire scopes. They have a BDC 150 reticle which will have bullet drop compensation points of reference out to 150 yards.

I shoot competive smallbore.....no one I know shoots a dedicated Romford scope.

There really isn't any advantage over a regular rifle scope....and you are limited in your selection

I prefer rimfire scopes on rimfire rifles.

The Leupold 2x7 Rimfire is a nice scope. .

It is an excellent scope. I used one on my CZ455 for several years.
