Came here to say this lol

thanks bro

cool...

Thank you!

ur a saint

earned your spot in heaven sir

Sadly, almost all the reliable and lightweight rimfire scopes have been suspiciously discontinued. Everything available now is either unreliable, too heavy, or more expensive. The only reliable ultralight scope available now is a Leupold. And even they discontinued their ultralight VX1 Rimfire 2x7 power recently. The very best rimfire scope for the money was the Walmart Bushnell 4x32 Rimfire Scope for under $30. It was lightweight, unusually reliable, and had decent glass and a clear reticle. It was sold for a longtime but Bushnell abruptly canceled it in the last couple of years. Weaver also canceled their excellent made in Japan ultralight rimfire scopes. Now? Junky, heavy and unreliable Simmons, Barska, Hawke scopes etc or much more expensive scopes or ones that are too heavy for field use. Just 3-4 years ago though, there was an abundance of excellent rimfire scopes. It is a travesty that all of the way too heavy, too expensive or unreliable rimfire scopes Plinkster is reviewing here are all that are available now. If you can find the older scopes from before 3-4 tears ago grab em up and keep them because they are much better.

@@JohnB-dr8sk vortex has a pretty good lineup...usually can find them from 120 to 150

Scope optics, so long as they are weather-tight (post 1950s) vary very little. Older scopes, generally, do not have variable magnification, but the optics are from the U.S. and Japan (or, Switzerland) and have both excellent color and also nice quality build for narrow rail applications, i.e. .22 or .17 hmr. There are high quality USED optics available. Because they are shipped from America to anyone with the money, they qualify as an American product, too.

@@JohnB-dr8sk Late but agreed. Look at Nikon, out of business now.

Frank Pillert what else do you need right?

I'd pay to see that "dime killer" in action!

Maybe you should have paid more attention Burt. Or better yet make your own video and school us.

Redfield is making a comeback because they are now made and owned by Leupold. They are quality scopes.

Love that scope

Ive got one.. on an M1A..It was $169...Its a great scope, even on a bigger rifle like the M1A

kevin skinner No Parrallax. New with slightly better Turrets they are $400. Mine is made in USA vintage.

I too, have a BSA Sweet 22 on my CZ 455, and the brilliant glass makes the sight picture brighter/clearer than looking with the naked eye. My only beef is that the lens caps are "screw on" and can scratch the lens if not careful..But neither do they get caught by my hat brim, so there are both pros and cons I guess. As for the reticle, mine is a rather thick plain X until right at the target area and it goes very thin. There are no other marks or dots on it for any hold-over. Where the reticle gets thick is a pretty good hold over for about 200 yards, however.

Zack, I have read issues with the bushnell loosing zero is that true at all? Also how well do the caliber specific ranging turrets work? Thanks much!

If you think thats good check out the Bushnell Legend. I switched over from Crossfire 2.

that squirrel is stunning and brave 😆

Almost did that once😂

Squirrel of the year award goes to Caitlyn squirrel

How the barska still holding up? Assuming you still have it. Everyone says it’s horrible

I have 2 of the Leupold VX-2 3-9x33mm EFR, I have one on my Smith and Wesson AR 15 and one on my Benjamin Marauder air rifle. You know you can call Leupold and have them make you some custom turrets , then all you have to do is range what ever you are shooting at and set the turret on that distance. Then pull the trigger. awesome scopes.

@@peteflores453 i for one did not know that, what exactly do you have to do? Could you please explain the procedure you go through and what you ask for? Thank you Oh, i almost forgot could you please include the approximate price point?

CSLFiero So true 😂😂

I own it. Great optic for the money

I have a Nikon 4/16X50 Monarch3 on my 243, around 500€ but i like very much. I'll for sure go for the Nikon when i'll have to buy a new scope for my 22lr.

I think I am with you Daniel. Love my Nikon binoculars also.

The Crossfire II series has a much better eye relief and overall better quality. I own one and have tried the Hawk. Its nice, but going from that to the Xfire II is like hopping off a 250cc Bike onto a 1300 Busa, It is that noticeable. Just throwing out my experiences in choosing the last scope I purchased is all.

I own a rimfire one and I love it, thinking about a second one

Hey dumbass you have to zero your scope, you can’t just throw it on the rifle and expect it to be perfect 😂

800lb Gorilla , hello. Purchased a Ruger 10/22 takedown for my 12yo son, and looking for scope vs Bushnell trs-25 red dot. Will rifle still fit in its backpack with the Nikon mounted? Thanks!

Sorry for the slow reply, but yes the takedown will fit in the pack with the Nikon ProStaff mounted, provided you use low-rings. I think I used Leupold rings.

You must be one hell of a shot AND have access to a VERY competent Gunsmith/Armorer if you can do one hole groups at 100 with a 10/22.....Most of the 'hotshots' I've seen at the range throw down groups that look more like .410 patterns at 25 yds,,, well not QUITE that bad, but you get the point. Can't tell you how many 10/22 guys I've heard over the years 'bragging" about .7 to 1.0 groups at 50...."Accurate" is usually reserved (imhumble experience) to describe the targets brought in by the CZ and most often, the Anschutz shooters.

@@seeratlasdtyria4584 Well, I was... I did the gunsmithing/tweaking myself. Lots of patient trial and error, meticulously documented to track what helped and what didn't. Also, a lot of the internals were replaced with Kidd Innovations parts, including his single-stage trigger. CCI Green Tag was good, but Eley Match really made it sing. Lapua and some of the other high end 22 ammo wouldn't perform as well in that barrel, the next barrel could do something completely different. Those single hole groups were best of the best, indoors, from prone with a bipod and a rear bag, when I was shooting every weekend and doing dry fire during the week. I think most people can attain that level of proficiency with a good instructor and six months of dedicated practice, but it takes work. If I stepped away from it for more than a couple weeks, it would take time to really dial in natural point of aim and breathing again. It's like most things, you can get to 90% with a little work, 95% with a good amount of work, but every 1% improvement beyond that takes A LOT of work, and must be maintained because it is a perishable skill. Since that post, I actually sold the 10/22 and picked up a CZ 455 which is my main 22 now. Stupidly accurate although being a bolt gun, it's sometimes harder to shoot really tight groups because it is easier to break natural point of aim between shots, and 22 is so finnicky. I tell myself one day I'll drop the coin on a Vudoo but it's unlikely, I don't compete anymore. For new shooters, kids, and even adults looking to improve, I highly recommend finding a local Project Appleseed. It's usually a two-day event, positional shooting with a 22 semi-automatic and irons. They teach marksmanship fundamentals and Revolutionary War history. I've seen people come in to the course having never shot a gun before, and by the end they can shoot 5-round 1" groups at 25m all day long.

@@silvermediastudio Like I said, only a VERY accomplished shooter with gunsmithing/armorer level skills is capable of the accuracy that you have attained, and NOW, that you've provided more info on yourself, I can see why:) Though never really a paper puncher myself, many decades ago I once held the Fort Ord rifle record (VN era) as well as a few other similar unit/base titles (I was an XVIII Airborne Corps Spec Serv/Warfare "Skydragon" under the old Forces Command structure. Fortunately (for me:); all of my weapons were built and maintained by some of the military's best gunsmith/armorers of the time, including the real life fellow upon which the back wood's firearms expert in Wahlberg's movie "Shooter" was based (he was also the coach of the US Mil's International shooting team btw.) In any event, glad to hear you managed to wring the best out of the 10/22, my brother- himself a naturally gifted shooter, fooled around with his for several months and ended up giving it away. Salutations.

Dedicated rimfire(mostly 22lr, 22wmr aka a 22 magnum, 17 hmr) scopes don't have to tolerate the much heavier recoil of centerfire rounds like 308. So they can be built lighter and cheaper. Parallax is the apparent movement of the target relative to the reticle(usually crosshairs) if your eye is not always held in the same position. This can be eliminated if the scope is focused at the exact target distance. This is done by adjusting the focus of the Objective (front) lens. In centerfire scopes 'fixed parallax' scopes have been set up during manufacture to have minimum parallax at moderately long range, say 200 yards or more. If they have adjustable parallax(either using the objective housing like you see on the Hawke reviewed, or side parallax like most of the Bushells shown), they are also very good on rimfire rifles, because they can still be focused at close range . Rimfire scopes are usually used at short range. So they could have fixed parallax of 75, or 100 yards. Adjustable parallax rimfire scopes can adjust for much closer shots than this. The Hawke is 'all caliber rated' including shotgun and centerfire rifles, but is also great on a precision 22 because of its adjustable parallax(quite apart from the great clarity and etched glass illuminated reticle).Lots of shooters use quality centerfire scopes on their rimfire rifles...particularly if they have adjustable parallax! Hope that helps. :)

Pietro B what's the warranty?

They make a good scope for the money..

I got this scope on my Ruger 10/22. Don't regret buying it all. That fine dot for a sight is great. That's the main reason why I bought it.

Get that Picatinny rail ordered from EGW as it'll guarantee that you will not have eye relief issues regardless of the scope you choose.

Now You need to start posing killer deals CZ 455 is on the way !

What one do u recommended for a golden boy mrgunsandgear i wanna do with out one but my eyes suck

He didn't get one free

Remind me to never lend you ANYTHING!!

ronald davis: My Simmons works really well also. What am I missing in the more expensive scopes?
