You’re welcome.



He's really gonna be thanking you when his bolt hits that big ole eye piece and he has to order high rings.


I safely assume MadMooner knows what he’s doing.


Risky assumption.

I bought my first one a couple of years ago.

They're a little pricey but worth every penny and nothing's too good for my CZ 452.

The fine cross hair is better for Rimfires if you can live with mat finish. I couldn't but I'll get it swapped eventually.

Leupold's tried and true 4X is another good choice.

yeah, I have the first series prostaff rimfires with prostaff embossed lettering on the front bell and the rubber covered focus ring. I think the prostaff II have a smaller eyepiece

Those Prostaff scope have 1/2 moa adjustments. Won't that translate to near one inch at 50,or do they measure their 1/2 at 50 yards?

Guess I was thinking about it backward. I suppose the 1/2 would translate to 1/4 at 50 but I have rimfires more accurate than that. I would hate to be 1/4" off at 50 every time.

I looked at mine and they just say ProStaff. I'm not sure if the II's are marked different or not.

Seriously, I think 1/2" adjustments would put you within 1/4 MOA (within ~1/8" at 50 yards).

Found a Leupy VXII 3x9 in storage, so mounted that to the 455 Lux last night. It has the LR reticle, so we'll see how it lines up with distance.

Agreed. The adjustments are perfectly adequate.

Get the Clearidge - Duplex or mildot. The fine crosshair is too thin. Pretty close to the EFR without the extra coin.

I like the Luepold vx 2’s. Either 4x12 or 6x18. They will do all you need to do with a 22. Target shooting or hunting they are hard to beat.
Second choice for me is a Nikon buckmaster. I bought one and liked it so much I had to have another. Hasbeen

Think I was wearing Keens.

Nikon Prostaff Target EFR's on my .22's and Pellet rifle. AO's will sometimes make what you thought was an ok shooter into a tack driver.

A good 3x9 with a fine duplex or Nikon's BDC like Flave says is a good choice.
I've got a BSA (yep, that's BUDGET, baby) 4x12x40 AO on my 10/22, it sees as well as that particular rifle shoots. I sighted it in for 50 yards at the fat top part of the duplex, 75 yards is the crosshair and 100 is the bottom joint. Anything further is centerfire, honestly.
I'm hoping to get a side-focus in similar power sometime pretty soon, but for now, the BSA does what I need.
