Scope For .22 Rim Varmint

[Shifty6br]

I'm running optics as purpose built.

For my rim x which is setup more as a target rifle I have it topped with a 5-25 pst2. Since it's a little on the heavy side to begin with.



My 457 is setup more as field, walking rifle, much lighter and quicker on the draw. So I went with a lighter p-Tac 3-9x I had on hand. With it's mrad reticle and target turrets it does well for hunting and occasional target, and am still able to see hits on steel out to 300 with 9x. Lately I find myself grabbing the 457 out more often the the rim x

Whatever you get I would recommend 25x or maybe more, IF you plan to compete with it. That said I have a Vernon 5x25x50 on my 457, and with my old eyes I could stand a little more magnification.

Absolutely - I have a March 80X on mine.

If its more for Hunting I like a 4-16 or 18 power on top.
Bench I go with a 6-32 top end or more.
