R_H_Clark: I think you misspoke when you stated your groups "could be up to 1/4" off at 50 yards" - with the 1/2" adjustable click scope at 100 yards scope? IF... your groups were 1/4" to far left at 50 yards then you should simply move the adjustment 1 click to the right and that would put your groups dead center (1/4" more back to the right!)! I think the most/maximum your groups could be off at 50 yards is 1/8" (.125") with the 1/2" click adjustment scope? Am I not correct? In other words if your groups center was 1/4" to far left at 50 yards simply adjusting it one click right would make your groups center dead on with the 1/2" adjustments at 100 yards scope. I have a case of the dyslexia so I could be wrong - but I have been adjusting scopes for 52+ years now using the above method/contention. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Between those mentioned, my choice would be any of the Leupolds. I live, work and play in the USA and, if there's a choice, that's were I want the products I buy to be made. I have a 3-9 EFR and can't imagine a better all around rimfire scope. If targets are the main usage, then more XXs might be more desirable and the 4-12AO would fill the bill.

Hold into the wind VarmintGuy You may be right. I still want a scope that adjusts as fine as possible. I play a game where I have a target with multiple bulls. The X on each bull is the diameter of a 22 bullet. I try to see how many 1 shot X's I can hit per target. It's just informal but fun for me. If my scope were off even 1/8" I could miss more X's than I hit. Give it a go sometime. here is my target that I like to shoot at 50 yards. http://www.mytargets.com/Well it pulled up all the targets. I shoot the 1" Bullseyes target right under the Ram targets.

They are an awesome rimfire scope for hunting and casual target shooting.

They are not just for rim fires. Mine, over twenty years old, has lived on a springer air gun, a .22 LR, and on a .243 for lots of years. I recently removed it from the .243 in view of going back on a .22. Because of the difference in ocular bell size, I had to go higher rings to clear the bolt on the .243 with the new scope. I'm not sure I like that. A new 3-9 EFR may be in order.
Some folks fuss about the smaller ocular. I have never found it to be a problem when matched to the proper height rings.

The Leupold 3x9 was always my first choice for a rimfire scope. Then I purchased a Weaver 3x9 with AO and stopped buying the Leupolds. Weaver is clear if not clearer and the adjustments are precise and you can find them on sale for under $200.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

The V16 is a very good rimfire scope as if a guy wanted higher magnification. Lower priced than Leupold but a little larger and heavier.

I agree, the VX-2 4-12 is my most favorite Varmint/Target scope for the 22LR. Though I've been happy with the VX-2 2-7x33 on a couple 22s as well

Got these two yesterday. VX-2 4-12x40 AO That's a sweet set up! please give the details. Is that a custom 10-22? On a side note, I just scored a brick of SK Subsonic HP, which is my favorite squirrel load in 22 LR.

This post is perfect for me. I have been thinking of buying the Leupold EFR rimfire scope but like others...the price is the only negative. I need to go see what the VX AO 4-12 fine reticle cost. Will also check out the Weavers too.
I need to get a scope for target shooting too. I have an older Leupold 12x AO that sat dormant for a few years and pulled it out and was surprised at how much clear it is on my load development. So I need one more and possible two to put on my Lefty CZ. So many decisions to make...
