Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Is this the perfect rimfire scope????

No.

People are entitled to choose an opinion but picking facts is quite a bit more prone to hazard. Fella might not like the message framed in facts, but right here facts are steppin' on fantasy's crank pretty hard.

If you can man up your feelers when Boxer knocks on the door you might learn a thing or two. OTOH, it is a free country etc.

Stealing that.

Don't know how "perfect" they are but my favorite two are the older 1" tube 4.5-14 Leupold VERI-X-III and the Shepherd P310 3.5-10.

I have the 4.5-14 on a CZ452 17" and Shepherds on a 452 Vaarmint .22 Magnum, a 453 Varmint .22LR and a Kimber .22.

453 with Shepherd...







452 with Leupold...

I would say that is a set-up that works.

Different rifles, different scopes.

CZ 452 FS Leupold 2-7x28
Marlin 917M2S Weaver V16 4-16x42AO
Remington 37 Lyman Targetspot 30x
Remington 541 T Sightron S1 4-12x40AO
Winchester 52 Redfield 3200 20x
Winchester 52 Sporter Leupold Alaskan 4x and 6x.

Price wise, the Sightron S1 4-12x40AO for under $150 is hard to beat. Right now, the Weaver V16 4-12x42AO for $210 from Natchez is awfully hard to ignore.

I thought about the 4-16 v16 from Natchez but just ordered the 3-9x38 V9. I was in a store yesterday and this scope is extremely clear. Looked clearer to me than a Zeiss Terra looking across a field close to dark. They had a 3-10 classic and a 4-16 Buck Commander. Both of those scopes had extreme tunneling, as bad as I've ever seen. Do the V-16's do that?

Ohhhhhhhhh my...the oblivious HILARITY continues!

No schit,you put lug nuts on the ejection side of the fence?!? Here's a non too fhuqking subtle "hint",CZ OEM rings/fasteners are absolute fhuqking dog schit.

Just sayin'.

Do you REALLY "think" Sheepfhuqker scopes are "something"?!? The ONLY thing funnier than that,is waxing eloquent on a fhuqking Reupie 4.5-14x. Kudos for your oblivious COMEDY!

I did note,that you mentioned nary a word on come-ups. PLEASE do so now. Yep...that is a fhuqking DARE. Laffin'!!!

Please pardon my not owning anything that shoots THAT schitty,for extrapolation.

Bless your heart.

Wow.




(Addendum: as yet another 2wk R&R starts in style)

Just hit the house and the Mail was doing nice things,while I was in The Salt Mines.

Lothar Walther 18" .720" Hummer spout ala Clark. McMillan GAP Camo Magnum Rimfire Varmint. Will clock and dope come-ups in the AM,between casts for Chrome in the most welcome deluge downpour.

Film at 11:00.

Hint.

I think it comes pretty close, amigo!

I do not need any significant elevation adjustment or turrets on my 22 rimfire scopes. If something is further out that 50 yards, I grab a different rifle. Typically have a couple of different centerfires handy while out shooting range rodents. For a 22LR, Having the ability to set the parralax and focus correctly for the close shooting done with them is pretty critical. Low X variable power, light weight, simple, and able to mount them close to the barrel and reciever all are good things and that scope seems to have all the right features. Perfect? Maybe not, but really close for most 22LR users. My 22LR has a Leupold Rimfire 2-7 atop it which works great FOR MY PURPOSES i.e. small rodents and paper out to 25 yards, period. For 25-100 yards, The 22WMR has an old Weaver V-9 A/O that is more than good enough for its uses. Past the easy hit and sure kill range for those and I am reaching for the 222, 223 or fast twist 220 Swift etc. depending.

I agree wholeheartedly that having good stuff or MAYBE above average knowledge of shooting does not qualify one to talk down to others in the sport. NOTHING gives a human being that right. Nothing at all, ever, period. Nor does having some good toys and some knowledge give license to act like some kind of all knowing but irracsible and antagonistic Guru. Boorish behaviour is just that.

It's far from perfect but just about right attop of this Kimber
