Through some bits of fortune, I ordered a B14R Carbon rifle for pretty cheap. Wondering what I should top it with. Plinking and they do some NRL22 style rimfire matches here too which has my interest. I was thinking of swapping my 6x MilQuad over off my Montana and finding something lighter for that as I don't dial the Montana really. But I like that scope as is a lot so maybe not. Current SS scopes all seem to be out of stock and I've not bought a scope in forever. Anyone got some ideas? Not looking for blister pack price but not Nightforce either.

Also - assume 100 yard sight in, 20 MOA rail necessary?

One of these on a 20 moa rail will get you to 500 without using the reticle. For under 3 bills....

My B14R Carbon came with a 30 MOA bergara rail.........so yours should as well.
I have a trijicon credo 4-16x50 on mine.........but If I was shooting competition, I'd go FFP

My exact same rifle wears a Vortex 3-12x42 Diamondback HP that Euro-Optic had on clearance some time back. It is fine to 100 yards with a 0 MOA rail. Parallax adjusts down to 30 yards, optically spot on, dialed in to zero was also spot on. It's an 18 oz, 12 1/2", 1" diameter basic duplex scope made in the Philippines. Still a bargain IMO. https://www.sportsmans.com/hunting-...-3-12x-42mm-rifle-scope-v-plex/p/1422443

Love it.......really nice action for a "rimfire" bolt gun. Very accurate and lightweight. I can't imagine you won't be pleased. I've got around 2,000 rounds through mine without issue. Owned it for about 4 months now. Excellent trigger that breaks clean at 2lbs without any adjustments made on my end. I purchased the gun brand new from a local farm store.

I'm looking forward to playing with it this summer for sure. Spare mags are impossible to find right now it seems.

Mags do seem to be a problem these days. I bought up on them days after I bought the rifle a little over a year ago. It shoots pretty well at 50 yards.
