What are your suggestions for a Savage FV-SR? I will mainly be using it for fun and varmint hunting. Thanks.
I have been oh-so-very pleased with my mueller apv. 4-14x40 AO $130 bucks. Glass rivals my burris ff2 and leupold vx1's. Better than my sightron s1. Adjustments are a little mushy, but it works well. I got it based off a plethora of recommendations off rimfirecentral.
The cheapest scope that held zero on my .22, I owned a lot of scopes, was a Sightron S2 4-16. The only reason I sold it was because it did not have enough adjustment per rotation on the vertical adjustment. Now I have a Bushnell 6500 4.5-30 scope on. Its overkill, but it is such a good scope and it maintains a perfect zero and the tracking is 100% spot on. There is nothing I hate more than a scope that goes out of zero, as it just make it easier to wound animals.I don't really have a budget in mind. I normally get Leupolds, but for a .22 that costs $250 and will only be shooting 100-150 yards, I don't think a $400 Leupold is necessarily warranted. I just want something that is durable and has good glass and maintains zero... I suppose that's what we want with every scope. My point is that I don't need nor want a scope with capabilities beyond those of the rifle. My other option is to take off a Simmons 8-Point that came with one of my deer rifles and put it on the .22 and then buy a Leupold or Vortex for that deer rifle.
I can guarantee you that the rifle will never shoot better than the optic that's on it....I don't really have a budget in mind. I normally get Leupolds, but for a .22 that costs $250 and will only be shooting 100-150 yards, I don't think a $400 Leupold is necessarily warranted
Yes, except it's 2-4x the cost and less magnification compared to other scopes that will perform just as well on a .22LR. Leupold on a rimfire is a horrible waste of money.A Leupold 2x7 rimfire is a nice scope.
