rimfire optic quandry?????? - 12/07/18
ok fellas so I'm,santa, is getting my almost 8yo son a CZ-455 scout for Christmas and I'm looking for a decent scope. I've always been a leupold guy,until recently going the Czech meopta way for my centerfires, but I really don't wanna spend that kinda coin for his first scope. I just checked out leupold's site and wow what happened? no more vx-1,vx-2?? anywho on to my question. so,i'm currently looking at Bushnell rimfire optics 3-12x40 with multi-x ret and a Nikon pro staff 5 3.5-14x40 with nikoplex ret. what do y'all think as I do want the trad ret of a crosshair to teach him and not the busy ret that seems to be popular these days. I'm even thinking about getting a Nikon prostaff 2-7x32 with nikoplex ret to put on there for after Christmas morn as I'm planning on trying to teach him the basics of irons first and foremost. But, we have very limited time so I'd rather teach the mechanics of trigger pull and breathing vs iron sights if push comes to shove. don't get me wrong kids need to learn irons but all of our centerfire deer guns are scoped so this lesson would be strickly for nostalgia and a just in case scenario. out of the couple scope I've narrowed to what say y'all?
thanks,
Big Ed
