I could be wrong but I think you may want more power in the scope if you are going to look to go long with your new 22. At 200 your 12x is sufficiently good. But most of the guns I see running out long with the 22lr are using a good bit more magnification.
Very nice rifle you have there. Looking forward to your thoughts as you get to shoot it in the days ahead.

I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......
