richethec,
Do you want more top end or more field of view? Have you compared them to see if one has better glass than the other? Have you heard any complaints or commendations about them?

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

I wouldn't put anything that big on a 22, no need really. Have you considered a good 4x or 3-9 rimfire scope?

On my Remington model 34 made in 1934 is a 6-24X40. It is so old it had to be drilled and tapped to accept scope mounts. My 10/22 carries a 4-16X40.
Again, you need to decide if you want more field of view or more top end magnification.

If for targets and hunting the Weaver V16 at Natchez that is on sale. If just for hunting the Weaver 2-7 or 3X9 rimfires on sale at Natchez.

Dunno about the BSA but the Kruger is a pretty good scope. I tested mine on a .300 Winchester Magnum with no problems, but since then have had it on smaller rifles, including a .17 Mach 2, where it worked well. Right now it's on a .17 Fireball.

I'd mount a Weaver 4x and not look back if it was mine.

I just order a Redfield battle zone tac. 22, 2-7x34 for my ruger american 22. Got it from midway with free shipping. I was on the fence for a weaver V-9 3-9x38 from Natchez. but I don't want to spend almost 20$ on shipping. IMO, there is no need for such big scopes on 22 anyway. Good luck
