Optics on your rimfire

[swede69]

What are you using for you .22 competition rifle? I’m talking about local matches and fun shoots. I’ve been shooting a tract optics rimfire scope but it does not have an a.o. on it which I think is almost mandatory for paralex. What do you think? Thanks

I use a 45X fixed with side parallax adj. I only shoot 50yd RFBR.

Nightforce BR 12-42 NP 2 dd and a Weaver 36X

For rimfire benchrest I'm using a March 48x

I don't have a fixed parallax scope on any of the 22LR's I own, even a 10/22 plinker.

45x or 36x, depending on the gun.

Shooting fun matches out to 100 yards I'm using a Vortex Venom 5x25x50

I'm switching to a Vortex Razor Gen III 6-36 for PRS

I've got Athlon Cronus (made by LOW in Japan) 4.5-29x56 ffp mil scopes on my Vudoo V22 repeaters for PRS-style matches. Have a Sightron SIII 45x45 on a V22S for RFBR, but will likely replace it with an Athlon Ares UHD 15-60x56 as soon as they get another shipment of them in...if they get to my order for one before they run out of stock again...

Using a Vortex Diamondback 6-24 and find myself wishing for more magnification sometimes. Wish I had the same or better glass with a top magnification in the 30+ range.

Sightron 45x45 SIII ED (2 of them), but I also have 2 Sightron 36x42 SII on “factory” rifles which are an amazing value!

You must be using the 3-9 version because the 4-12 model is AO.
The 3-9 has parallax set at the factory for 50 yards and appears to have some sort of BDC type reticle for hold overs at certain distances. What distances are you normally shooting with your 22LR Comp rifle?
Over the years I have managed to gather a few 22LR rifles. They are set up "purpose-driven" with accessories and (especially) optics to match their intended purpose. Bench Rest guns have scopes with adjustable parallax and variable scope that range up to 50X. For more tactical type matches they wear FFP scopes and zoom up to 24 or even 36X.

Love my Weaver T36, no problem reading print and bullet holes on 100yd target. Best value I've found so far.

Which reticle, and what kind of shooting? I’m considering one for RFBR.
