Oh man I cant wait to put a 30mm scope with 6x magnification, and huge target turrets on my RIMFIRE HUNTING RIFLE!!! What a load of freakin crap. Hahaha
Nor do I want to haul a giant azz 4-16 AO that's half as big as the rifle around the woods and fields with me. I don't need to see the fuggin fleas in a woodchucks ear to kill it, nor do I wish to shoot flies in outer space with my .22 mag...
I'm with you guys on the whole "telescope on a rimfire" thing, but I do like a 3 or 4-12 on a magnum. Even on a good 22lr. I'm not a fan of large objective lenses.
A 6X on the small side for an lr suits me fine though. I have rifles set up both ways, and I find that its the weight of a large scope that puts me off, not the magnification. Of course, I don't leave them on 12X, but its there if I want it.
