The guy's good, so he's usually busy. I've been taking my guns to him for over 10 years. He's telling me middle of next week. I can wait that long.

Picked these up today from opticsplanet.com while waiting for rifle to come back from gunnie. Decided to hold onto both other scopes for future projects. Couldn't pass on the deal they gave me. Discounted the scope $20 and basically gave me the sunshade, plus no shipping and no tax. Rings were only $1 more than the cheapest I could find them for anywhere else. So, decided to lump everything together in 1 shipment. Total for everything was $170.75. Happy camper. Mueller 4.5-14x40mm AO APV with sunshade - $113.76 total ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e396/local_dirt/Mueller%20Optics%204.5-14x40mm%20AO%20APV%20with%20sunshade%20-%20857727001151_zpsv2jzl6n2.jpg) Leupold Quick Release Weaver Style QRW - $56.99 ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e396/local_dirt/Leupold%20quick%20release%20rings%20medium%201%20inch_zpssrluzwfx.jpg)

woodson, good question. I'm kinda torn on that one. I've got a brandy new silver VX3 3.5-10x40 I bought for another project that's really too big for that gun that I'm seriously considering, but I also have a Bushnell Elite 6-24x40 AO that is also NIB I bought a couple years ago from nice older guy in VA that was scaling down who had a ton of nice chit, and I do mean a ton. Had 3 safes packed to the gills in his basement. Couldn't afford to spend the kind of coin a lot of his stuff would bring, but all of it was the schizzle, and several more at another house. The kind of stuff we gun loonies here drool over. A friend and I bought about 8-10 scopes from him, all pristine.
Here are the 2 scopes. I'm sure either one will dot a squirrel's eye with the setup I've got coming.
Nice plan on the 10-22. I hope you have better luck with the elite 6-24 than I did with an elite 10x tactical I had on my 10-22. I simply couldn't get it to focus at 25 yds and marginally at 50 yds. and also had an issue with paralax. With a center fire I could live with a scope that is a little fuzzy at closer range, but not so on a 22 rf. I put a leupold 3.5-10 on it and that cured the focus issue. For whatever reason Bushnell doesn't bother to tell anyone that is a centerfire scope paralaxed at 150 yards...there is no way to use it under 75...had one and sold it. Why anyone would put out a 10X scope with no PA is beyond me... Bob

if it doesn't have an AO or side focus and if it isn't labeled as a rimfire scope, why would you think it would be fine to use at 25 & 50 yrds?

Thanks for the info on the Bushnell, fellas. Glad I went with my gut feeling and went with the Mueller scope that's been proven on a 10/22 platform.
Bob, that sure is interesting that Bushnell doesn't share that information.

There are several threads out there on how to adjust parallax down to 50-75 yards. Wouldn't let that stop me ... or get a super chicken for a c-note more ....

George, thanks. I'm committed on the Mueller and can't really see myself being unhappy with it for this gun. We'll see.
But, I like what I've read about the super chicken. We don't hear much about SWFA down here. Everything I've learned is mostly from here. Why? I don't know. Seeing a lot of them used further west with great results. May just have to check one out. Might have to get 2 more AR's, instead of one..
What do you recommend? 10x42? That thing looks like a tank, with a lot of happy campers using it.

For GP shooting off-hand and paper (< 50 yards) I'd go either 6x (or 10x if more supported shooting than offhand). If it's a bench game or bipods in the field 16x might not be a bad choice. I don't dig'em much more than that.
