Wanting something like a bdc reticle with holdover marks out to 200 yards,light weight and a short tube,best glass i can afford. I don't need precisely repeatable turrets. Somthing i zero, make a holdover card for the bdc marks in the scope and ruggedness. Usa made is a plus . Putting this on a tikka t1x 16 inch 22 that will be primarily a hunting gun.

I like Burris but here is a pretty good option. Tract has a ballistics program that will allow you to work your holdovers easily. https://tractoptics.com/all-products/22-fire-3-9x40-bdc-rimfire-rifle-scope

Here's one for ya. I have one on a .22. Not a BDC but a Mil-Dot that can be used the same. Real nice Japanese Optics. The one I have linked below is a 6-20X but they also have a 4.5-14X. Clearidge are a very good scope. I have 3 of them and they are all very nice. http://www.clearidgeoptics.com/product-p/3620.htm

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Someone suggested a athlon midas tac 4-16x44 that looks like a solid choice.

Thanks for putting that up. I looked at the 4-12x40 Tract rimfire scope but passed due to the 75 yard parallax. Just noticed the 3-9x40 Tract rimfire has a 50 yard parallax so I'm thinking this will be my next rimfire optic!

Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

I get by and kill a lot of stuff with a crummy 22 scope: Vari x iii 1.5x5x20 shooting cb shorts in my garden at rodents.

A bit on expensive side but the leup 4-12x40 with a/o and fine reticle is ideal on a quality 22lr. Sure like mine.

Yes, and lots of them, which will really help you for what you are trying to do. Lightweight? Moderately at 17 ounces. Short tube? Yes Best glass? Very good. Should hang with anything in its price range Ruggedness? Very well respected for its toughness. $500? Jut a touch over. Made in USA? No, but made in Japan, which is not China. https://www.eurooptic.com/Trijicon-...-Hunter-1-in-Matte-Black-Riflescope.aspx

I like Tract scopes, but think you could better than the Rimfire 3-9x out to 200 yards. Maybe their 4-12x? I found that scope to have a noticeable "tunnel effect". the other Tracts are really solid, but not lightweight.

My 22 scopes do not have to put up with: 1) recoil 2) dial twisting 3) shot of a lifetime insurance 4) bad weather (19) 22 rifles got cheap scopes

Athlon scopes are about the best bang for the buck you can find. Hawke also makes a series of .22 scopes with reticles that are calibrated for SV, HV, and I believe WMR ammo...
However, shooting to 200 yards with a reticle to match so you can see your target needs a lot of power for small game. I like a 6.5 - 20 or something in that range. Burris Fullfield, Weaver V24 ( 6-24), or the SWFA SS

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
