Finally sighted in the Leupold on the CZ yesterday. I had two different types of ammunition with me to see what it liked. The Federal bulk pack 36 gr plated hollow point shot minute of squirrel head at 50 yards in a puffy wind, however the Federal "Auto Match" shot minute of dime sized groups at the same yardage. I'm sure if I had a more stable platform than the hood of my truck to fire from, and without a strong breeze blowing, they would have been one ragged hole! Plan on ordering more of it!

Seriously, I think 1/2" adjustments would put you within 1/4 MOA (within ~1/8" at 50 yards). Agreed. The adjustments are perfectly adequate. Mother of God! Those look like the size of some of the yotes I shoot

Any favorite scopes for general rimfire jackassery? Paper, ground squirrels, etc....
On the budget side of the spectrum! Yes, for me it is a Zeiss 10x C series, it fits Brno well enough and as they are an older scope they can be had at a reasonable price.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

"Looks like a pet store massacre" was a great line. When the poplar slashings filled up with snow, still hunting snowshoe hares with a scoped .22 and a couple of buddies was about as much fun as I was allowed to have here. We did that hopper hunt every year with some guys from work and I sure miss those days. Not the work, the hopper hunt with the guys.
My other auto is a .45

A scope's SOLE purpose,is to steer boolits.
Nothing begins to connect as many of them dots,as a 6x MQ Fixed Fhuqker.

I took the Leupold 4X compact off my CZ455 and slapped a 2-7X on it. My 3-9X EFR went bye bye on a Rem 600 .243 win. Wish I had that scope now! LOL

I like the 3/4" Redfield 4X, too bad they're discontinued. I also have a couple of Leupold 4X Compact scopes, on my vintage RF Sporters I have Lyman Alaskans with LEE dot.

I've got a couple of the post 2012 mfg Leupold VX 1 2-7x33s on a 77-22 and a 10-22. I got them used for around $150 each. They're a centerfire scope but IMO don't seem too big for a 22 RF. For my eyes, old, they're a lot easier to get the right eye relief and on target faster. I've set the parallax on one for rimfire distance and left the other one alone as they both seem to be equally accurate.

The forums on rimfirecentral suggest they are very much as good as the older ones, just not as sleek looking because of the box turrets. All the purchasers seem to be happy with them.

Risky assumption. I ain’t ever mounted one backwards, but.......... Finger's crossed... Ruger 77/22 & the CZ 455: let us know how the "shoot out",pun intended,goes between those 2 please. my money is always on the CZ. BIg Ed
