Hello UL. Yes, you need at least 50 posts before you are able to edit posts and post photos.

I use a fixed 4X for those critters on my .22. I find it perfect. I use others on rimfires but for other purposes.

I used a BSA Sweet .22 for years, then a few years back decided to try some other scopes. I just rezeroed the Sweet .22. It has lost some clarity over the years, not as "bright" as it used to be. However, the BDC for 40gr Thunderbolts is still right on. I like this little scope, but the power range is too high on this model. 6-18. For this particular application, I think a 3-9 would be great. Passed up a great deal on 3-9 Sweet .22 a while back (sale at SWFA). Don't know why, just never got around to it and then it was gone…
I can wait a bit, the 6-18 is still useable.

Hello. Could anyone compare the image quality of Sightron SIH 4-12X40 AO vs. Vortex Diamondback 4-12x40 AO?
Both are made in the Philippines, but the price for Diamondback is higher. SIH is the basic range of Sightron. Both are Fully Multi-Coated. Http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-diamondback-4-12x40-a-riflescope-v-plex-reticle Https://sightronusa.com/index.php/product/sih412x40ftmoa/ Thank you!

Well, getting back to the "if money were no object," line of thinking, here's my candidate for overall best rimfire hunting scope:
The March 1-10x24. I'd get the non-illuminated version with the standard duplex reticle, but many reticle options are available. It's compact at 10.3" long and has a pleasingly-small objective OD. The zoom range is 1 to 10, so great field at 1 power and more than enough magnification at 10 power. It has parallax/focus adjustment from 10 yds. to infinity. |

Leupold 3-9x33 EFR with custom shop mildot reticle and alumina flip covers in Burris Signature rings would get my vote. In fact, that combination has got my money on all of my rimfire and air rifle hunting rigs.

The Leupold VX-2 Ultralight 2-7x28 is something worth considering. The 8.5oz is hard to beat for all day carry and fast off the shoulder 22LR shots. It's practical, lightweight, and no frills. I also use this optic on a short LOP 16" .260 for deer hunting in tight stand/blind/brush situations. My favored products generally don't include Leupold but this optic fits & functions very well in minimalist applications and appears to also fit your hunting application.

I put my Aimpoint 9000L on my 22 for a trip to the range with a 13 yr old and he enjoyed that. I have since then moved it to a different rifle to play with it there but it is certainly a fun optic.

Athlon Talos 4-16x40 mounted on both my 10/22 & A17. Now I’m putting one on my RWS .22. All in mil-dot. You can also get the glass in 3-9x40 both magnifications are available in moa or mil.

I use a 3-9x36 Swaro on my .22lr bolt action. My dad is very pleased with his 3-9x40 Nikon EFR scope

I have the Nikon on a back up and loaner rifle for small bore silhouette rifle. It has held up well with the repeated elevation adjustments. It is a little on the lower power for the sport, but it is a good beginner scope or for someone who has the shakes.
