JimSchitsinhand,

You aren't going to purchase more IQ,nor get a First Clue...so how/why could things "change". Hint. Congratulations?!?

Be SURE to start a Thread,once you've "seen" the first scope that steers bullets. Hint.

Bless your heart for crying.

Hint.

So riddle me this Batman, why is it that a guy who is so profoundly versed in all things optics, ............. never post in the optics forum? I’m sure the whole gang there can’t wait to be educated by the twig and his leaky sap issue.
Hint.

lol,

Nikon Prostaff Target 3-9x40 EFR's are fantastic rimfire scopes. If you shop around you can get one for around $175.

I use a 4-12x AO Vortex Crossfire on my CZ455 that I moved over from a 10/22. It works fine, but I don't think the AO is really needed.
Adjustable objective or parallax adjustment need depends on whether you intend to shoot smaller size targets at close range with high magnification. I find that useful for .22lr, but not for the .22WMR.

I like AO on all my rimfire but I agree with poodleshooter - not as needed on the magnums

Went with AO on my Fireball and on one of my .22 rifles because I can be rather deliberate with either of those. Just something else to fiddle with when I want to be more precise. The 10/22 has a 2.5-8x36 Leupold on it and that works just fine as a shoot-um-up scope. More than once I've been fiddling with that AO and the target in question left the scene.


My other auto is a .45

Have yet to send my Leupold 2-7X in for parallax adjust.
Might move it to .22 magnum if I find a fixed 6X w AO for the fingergroove 10/22

Used to be 4-12's, then I went to 4-16 on 22mags. These are mostly window guns/truck guns for groundsquirrels and chucks, some pd's. The 16x works just fine, it's not too much and gets used a lot. When there's just a bit of the chuck's head visible with an eye peering from between a couple rocks at 75-100yds, or that potgut (groundsquirrel) head is the only thing visible sticking out of a hole, it's nice to have the extra power. The truck guns have 4-16 Japanese Weavers and I'm satisfied with them. They're a decent size for the power, turrets are decently not too tall, optics are fine, fine crosshairs I like, and they've held up well to being banged around since the mid-90's. There are other scopes that would also be good or better, but I have these and they've worked well for me.

Ackman: The weather has been iffy at best here in SW Montana for the last two weeks.
I had the Browning T-Bolt Varmint in 22 Magnum out with the Weaver V-16 on it this mid-day - was a bit cool and windy so the Ground Squirrels weren't "showing well".
That extra power comes in handy when they are staying down in the rims of their dens with just their heads showing now and then.
Only got 20 or so today but they were on the neighbors place and they appreciate the efforts before the first litters of pups are propagated then get out destroying crops.
I think the Weaver V-16's are an EXCELLENT value for monies spent, on the used market!
By the way most of my Weaver V-16's have the fine cross-hairs and fine dot reticles.
These work wonderfully well on Ground Squirrels and I have been using them for 20+ years now.
Not so well (I have found out) for when a Jack Rabbit gets flushed and is on the run - the fine dot is so fine its hard to find/maintain on a running Jack.
It's snowing now here in the early evening.
Come on spring.
Long live the Weaver V-16!

Poodleshooter: I have many dozens of scopes on my rimfire and centerfire Varmint Rifles - dozens more on Big Game Rifles.
I do NOT seek out scopes (and haven't for decades!) that do not have adjustable objective features on them.
The adjustable objective feature in my lengthy experience has been, and is, worth the modest extra cost.
It is also a good selling point should one ever wish to sell a scope or a Rifle/scope combination.
If you can get along without the adjustable objective feature that is fine with me but I long ago learned to appreciate, seek out and use their benefits.
Keep after'em.

A buddy asked me to post some photos of his 77/22 & Weaver T16 groups. Looks like it has worked pretty well for him.

[Linked Image]

Walther 22lr barrel threaded into older 77/22. Tight chamber, trigger down to 12oz. And Weaver V-16, been on there since late 90’s and used a whole lot. Still works just fine. Gun seems to shoot pretty well.

OSU Sig: Sure looks like that Rifle loves the Winchester Jacketed Hollow-Points!
And contrary to "contrary dippshit dipstick's" blatherings the Weaver V-16 on that Rifle is obviously performing extremely well also!
Take it to the bank - Weaver V-16's are excellent and reliable scopes.
Never had a failure or problem with any of mine, either.
Thanks for sharing your friends experiences.
Tell him - cool Rifle, from me.

I've had a first generation Nikon Pro-Staff 2-7x32 on my .22 mag. for about the last 15 years. It is supposedly a shotgun scope and set parralax free at 75 yards. It has worked very well at typical woods ranges where I use it for squirrels in the fall and in the open fields for woodchucks and crows in the summer. It has held zero just fine and I can consistently shoot 5 shot groups you can cover with a dime at 50 yards and sub MOA at 100.

VarmintGuy, I'll certainly tell him of your thoughts but I'm pretty sure he's already seen them. I just saw he's online.
