My preferred scopes on .22RF's are Leupold Rimfire Special 4x and Baby Redfield 3/4" 4x. I have a Lyman Alaskan with a dot reticle on my Springfield 1922 M2 Custom Sporter, I agree that low powered scopes are capable of producing small groups. That set-up will consistantly put 50 rounds of CCI Std. Velocity into one ragged hole @ 50 yds, frequently doing better than my Winchester 52 Sporter.
