Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Long range 22LR scope

Looking for scope recommendations for long range 22LR matches. Shooting 100 to 300 yards. Obviously needs a lot of elevation adjustment. I understand some use the bottom of the reticle at 300.

Vortex Strike Eagle Or Venom are both pretty solid for the money.

I've been using an SWFA 6x and like it for the use. 300 is not a problem whatsoever. Come to think of it, when I was a teenager, I used to shoot prairie dogs at that range using a Weaver K4 and Marlin 39.

The Strike Eagle may work. Lots of adjustment and the right reticle.

SWFA 10x.

^Hard to argue this one.^

I put a SWFA 10X on a Ruger Precision Rimfire. The rifle comes with a 30 moa rail, and I added 20 more moa via the AR-Stoner mount. So we have added 50 moa.

The scope has a 50 yard zero, and 38 mils of 'up' available. That about 126 moa. Plus 10 more mils on the reticle.

That's enough to get well past 500 yards if you can see your impacts.

My Anschutz has a 75 moa rail and 10x SWFA and I think I've only got a few tenths of a Mil available below the 50 yard zero.

Makes for a pretty potent combo.

3-12 LRTS

Leupold Long Range Tactical 3.5-10 with the M3 knob, works really well out to 300 with the 1" clicks.

The Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 is used by many in NRL 22 matches.

Thanks for the match info. That’s what I’m looking for.

I still have a PST gen2 on my V-22 and it’s a great scope but at that same price point as it and the Athlon I’d look at the Meopta Optika 6 line.
I just put the 3-18 in a AR build and am super impressed.
They have a 4.5-27x-50 and a 5-30x-56 both FFP and parallax to 10 yards. I’d take a long look at these Czech scopes before I threw money at China. Meopta is one of the very few that make their own glass and have OEMed for some well established companies.
There have been some reviews that you can search out vs taking my word for it.

This is what I have on my CZ 457. My wife has the 5-25 version on her rifle. They have been absolutely reliable. A lot of dialing.
I can also vouch for the Vortex Venom. A little cheaper than the Athlon's and has been just as reliable.
