What scope are you using on your 22 Mag? Rimifire scope have parallax set at 50 to 60 yds, while full size scopes are set at 100 yds. What do you advise?

A 4-12 with AO. Keep both ends dialed down for shooting around 50 yards unless/until you know you'll be shooting past 75 yards.

Depends on the rifle and the use(s) you envision for it. No need for a Hubble on a walking-around utility gun or a truck gun; a fixed 4x or 2-7 would be fine. For an accurate bolt rifle to be used on small critters or targets, kragman1's 4-12 idea seems about right. I have a Bushnell Trophy XLT 4-12 AO on my SS CZ 455 .22 LR. It's springer airgun rated, has reliable clicks (so far) and cost me $131 on Amazon. Still out there in places, for under $200. No issues thus far as an airgun scope, on a .243, or where it's at now. Haven't used one on a rimfire yet, but the 6x42 SS would do it all too, as usual. Mine's going on another .22 very soon after a ride on my .308.
What fresh Hell is this?

I second the 4-12. I have 2 22mag rifles, both with the Leupold 4-12x40AO scope w/fine duplex.. Perfect set-up

I've got a Leupold 8X W/ adjustable objective mounted on my Ruger American 22 mag.
I can set it for 25 yards for shooting pests around my place, or I can dial up parallax for shooting sage rats at longer distances.
Sent it in to Leupold and had a Leupold dot installed.
Works GREAT for me!

On my savage 93, I am running an weaver 9V 3x9 zeroed at 100 yard with Hornady V-max ammo. Magnification is set at 6 x as the cross hair sub tension fits perfectly with hold at 150 yards. Which is my max range. This works best for me. Your mileage may vary.

VarmintGay,
Please find me "mistaken",as the attempt will be FUNNIER than fhuqk. Hint. Congratulations?!?
Pardon an etched reticle,that can actually do something for a bullet's flight,conjoined with an erector that won't bobble,has HUGE internal travel and unwavering tracking...connecting all dots and then some. Hint.
Then add the 10yd parallax,AMAZING rugged reliability and it'll put into HILARIOUS perspective,your version of "knowledge","experience" and "results". Hint.
Bless your heart for trying though...as STUPIDITY is no fhuqking "act" for you.
Hint.
LAUGHING!...............

Switch: First off pay NO attention what so ever to the ignoramus entity known as dippshit stick! I'll tell you what I have on one of my 22 Magum Rifles and it has worked wonderfully well for me for over two years now. My Browning 22 Magnum Varmint Model with wide forend factory wood stock performs extremely well with the Weaver V-16 (4 to 16 power variable) that I mounted on it. I Hunt all manner of small game and Varmints with it. These are wonderful and reliable scopes - I own several of them and some are fitted to centerfire Rifles and others to rimfire Rifles. Never a failure and never a glitch. The field of view is plenty for my uses and the adjustable objective is a BIG plus also. This Rifle scope combination really shines in the Ground Squirrel Colonies. Best of luck to you with whichever you choose. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I have several of them installed on rifles chambered for cartridges in a range from 17HM2 thru 260. I've never had a single problem with any of them and recommend them highly. Unlike some people, I never lay my rifles in water, so the application of colorful tape and plastic turret covers has never been necessary, but I was taught to treat firearms and people with respect and some people obviously never got that lesson.

V-16's can't/won't hold "zero",let alone "track" and shift POA/POI under zoom manipulations. They are tender pieces of Fhuqking Schit.

Wow the twigster is in rare form tonight. Spewing the same phrases as he does on every other post of his. Twig you must love copy and paste. So what’s your IQ? 10 ? Maybe you have sap build up and it’s making you edgy. Farm animals not receptive to your advances anymore? Do everyone a favor (especially the farm animals) and take the problem in hand.
