But, recently I ran across a special that I couldn't resist and to say I'm impressed with this scope is an understatement. Here's a link to the scope and the price, scope. I removed the Leupold from a Sako and mounted this scope. I am very impressed with it. Very clear glass. Someone looking for a decent scope for under $100 may want to pickup one of these. I wish they would quit putting billboards on scopes. Bruce Attached Images A17scopelabel.jpg (24.25 KB, 471 downloads)

Heckuva deal anyway. https://www.amazon.com/Burris-42mm-...569547500&s=gateway&sr=8-2-fkmr0 Wag more, bark less.

What would you consider to be the very best scope for this application? Thanks, RS As an airgun shooter & hunter, I like having the option of AO. These scopes work very: Leupold EFR 3-9 or EFR 6.5-20 I'm not a fan of the fine duplex but prefer the regular Leupold duplex for hunting / woods shots. Also, Sightron has some great scopes that parallax down to 10 meters. If you go with AO for close shots, side parallax is a nice feature.

Eye relief is adequate. Easy to get behind. It'll be while before I get to test them out, but they impress me as being a great deal for 105 and 149 dollars respectively.

Learned most of what I know about riflery and the art of hitting with minimal conscious effort from a misspent youth sending upwards of a hundred thousand rounds downrange looking through one. Good times!

They hand no problems consistently hitting clays at 100 yards. I took out a few at 120+ yards for fun. I really like this little Droptine .22 scope and will pick up one or two more in the future.

Doug has 4x's from Hawke and Konus, he can get Meopta or Leupold...pick your poison and go wack some tree rats.

This CZ 452 with 4X Leupold worked fine yesterday. For longer ranges I may want something different. Last edited by woods_walker; 12/08/19.

I have found the Leupold rimfire hold up to big game recoil, they just have parallax set for 50 yards. The Leupold rimfire scopes with adjustable objectives look like big game scopes to me. It was replaced by the VX-Freedom 3-9x33 EFR which has the same glass I believe. It is a good scope. I read about the Clearidge Ultra RM 3-9x32 AO at Rimfire Central seven or eight years ago and decided to try one. It’s been a great scope. It cost around $225.00 and is mounted on a CZ 512 .22 WMR. Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.
