NOT, a Bench Rest competitor or, Rifle, but I will be trying, the New Burris, 4.5x14x42 AO, side Focus, Long Range MOA, #200344 scope with, a .13 dim. fine / small, "cross hair" @ 100 yds for, my informal 50 - 100 yard Target shooting & Ammo testing off, a Bench, as, a "Combo Scope". And it will be used for, longer range, Varmint, Hunting, too ! I also ordered one of, EGW's 20 MOA "Rails" to put on, my Ruger 10-22, with, it's 20", Sporter Bbl.,.. my Newest, "Toy" ! Since, I'm already getting, Sub 1/2 inch 50 yd. groups with, Match ammo out of, this rifle with, the New, Green Mtn barrel, I just HAVE to see, how much better this, thing can shoot ! And, Trump's Check was, Burning a Hole in my Pocket !

I've used Mueller 8-32X44 target dot scopes on both my air rifles and my rimfire. A very capable scope and well worth $250. On my top gun, I use a Sightron SIII 10-50X60 fine cross hairs. It's the clearest scope of all and if you shop well, you might find one for less than $800. Another decent scope is an Aztec 5.5-25X50. Nice reticle. I have one on my CZ452 and shoot informal BR. Not quite as clear as the Sightron, but excellent none the less. Well worth $439.

I like Weaver T-36's with small dot and crosshairs, A recent purchase of a Mueller 40 power has proved to be quite adequate with the only complaint being the mushy/not positive turret adjustments. There is a local group that shoot .22 silhouettes at 75.100.125. and 150 yds from the bench and it is great fun.

I've got Sightron SIII 8-32x56 scopes on a couple of 6 Dashers set up in Shehane Tracker stocks that I shoot in BR Varmint Silhouette matches at our local club. Steel targets from 200-500m. Never really had a complaint with either of these scopes, even though one was purchased used off this forum several years ago. But I'm looking at a rifle built around the new VGW V-22S single shot BR/F-class 22RF action, and am thinking either the SIII 10-50x60 or the newer 45x45 that James has tested would be the way to go for this rifle. I'm a bit spooked by the thought of going with a fixed 45x scope because of issues with mirage, but to be honest, I've never used a scope with that much power before. I've owned a bunch of Sightron SIII scopes (mostly 6-24x50s), and never had one fail. But the thought of not being able to see well enough in heavy mirage to hold-off for wind changes spooks me a bit when it comes to the fixed 45x, as opposed to being able to dial back on power with the 10-50x60. I've got a Weaver T24 on a Winchester M52D prone rifle, and a Sightron SII 24x44 on an Anschutz 2011, and am sure I wouldn't be satisfied with either of those scopes for the new V-22S. But the main question I have is how well the ED glass of the fixed 45X Sightron would perform at 100yds on a warm & muggy day? Or would the SIII 10-50x60 be a safer bet? And then there's the SV 10-50x60 model with 34mm tube & ED glass...anyone have any experience with this scope?

A good ole br36 leupold is a good one for 22 br and like tim said the lcs is very good. Ive had a bunch of all 3 of those and prefer the 35x for 50yds. Its the clearest of the lcs to me

 

[Peebles24]

I have a weaver t36 which will most likely be going back on my hall rifle when my 2500x is done. Currently have a sightron 10-50×60 on it.

I have a 42x44 NightForce Competition. You can find this 1800.00 scope for about a grand. Any thought on this scope. They have been discontinued but the scope I have is the clearest of all the scope I have. Tracking is perfect. Any thoughts??

I’m using a Mueller 42X56 fine cross hair target scope and it’s just OK. I don’t have a lot of experience with BR but I’m looking for something better

 

[flatlander]

I did some looking around and found a wholesaler that had Sightron SIII 45x45s in stock. Unfortunately, VGW hasn't started shipping V-22S actions yet, so I may mount this scope on an Anschutz 2011 just to get some experience with it before the V-22S I spoke for arrives... As soon as we get through wheat harvest, I should have time to do some BR shooting with this scope. All I can say for now is that I'm impressed with it.

I switched from 10-50 S-III's to that scope, I used one on my Falcon I just sold it went with the rifle.
I like the glass and most of all the 1/10 adjustment at 50yds. that is 1/20 for that little bit of vertical works great.

My Weaver 36X on my Walther rifle lets me clean the IBS BR50 target unless conditions are bad.

Where did you buy?

Zanders had four of the 45x45s in stock when I placed the order a couple of weeks ago.
