Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires 16X scope

At the moment, my CZ wears a Nikon 4-12 Prostaff Rimfire.
I'm thinking I'd like to boost the power to 16X, and while I'm at it, an AO would be nice.
I'm liking to stay at $200 or less.
A hot contender is the UTG 4-16 44MM.
I also liked the Mueller, but the 16x model is more than I care to pay.
This rifle is mostly used for casual bench shooting in the yard.
Opinions and other options appreciated.

I think Bushnell makes a Tophy XT series variable with side focus in 4x16 at aroubd $200

The Athlon Talos 4x16 at about $160 most places is worth a look-

Both if those scopes have good warranties and I would get either before I would spend 2.bills on a Mueller or UTG.

The Weaver 4x16's are great for rimfires. Parallax goes down to ft. IIRC Too lazy to walk out to the shop and look at the one on my Sako P94S. Sometimes you can find them used on either RFC or fleabay for $250ish. Brother has a couple on rimfires and I gave my nephew one for his AMT Challenge Edition I gave him. Great glass for the money IMO.

Pick up a SWFA fixed...used they can be had around that price point or keep an eye out on the sample list.

No firsthand opinion here, but the Hawke Vantage line gets a lot of thumbs up around the internet, has reticle choices and is in your price range.

Second the Weaver v16.Watch rimfirecentral usually can be had for 250

3rd the Weaver V16
