Swarovski1 Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hi all. I've got a leupold v-xr 4-12x40 cds currently mounted.it is a superb scope but but parallax needs setting for 50 to 70yds on 12 magnification.its currently for sell in classified.if it doesn't sell I will get parallax done and keep it.was wondering your thoughts on what's best.cheers swaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I use a cheap and effective Hawke HD rimfire model with 22LR holdovers marked on the ret. No need for any more scope on my .22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 I use a cheap and effective Hawke HD rimfire model with 22LR holdovers marked on the ret. No need for any more scope on my .22. Hawke quality are fine as said above. Essentials IMHO are parallax adjustment and marked vertical reticule - mildots or lines or any markings but going above 65 yds with subs, this makes life a lot easier if hunting.

Having said that, I have a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14 with the Rapid Z800 Reticle which is fantastic. But I use it a lot for rabbit control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybrock Posted November 19, 2016 Report Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hawke, MTC both perfectly good enough for rimfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1baz Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 I've got a Hawke and an MTC on my rimfires at the moment, the MTCs ok but they've discontinued them now, the Hawke is poo so looking for something else. I've Just received a Vortex Diamondback HP 2-8x32 and waiting on the same scope in 3-12x42 for comparison. I've not tried vortex's diamondback range before but I rate their Viper range. Very happy with the 2-8x32, has side parallax adjustment which goes down to 20yds, (3-12x42 is 30yds) so perfect for the .22. I wondered whether the 32mm objective would be a bit rubbish at night, (that's why I ordered the 42mm as well) but it's easily good enough at 100 yds with the lamp.

Yetidude69 Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 My preferred scopes for my. 22 are an ior 2-12x32 with mp8 ret and my 4x raptor Nv. I did have a leupold mk4 4.5-14x50 mildot but that's now residing in the cabinet as the ior's clarity is superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballistol Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 As long as you are talking about sensible ranges, this scope is very hard to beat. https://www.leupold.com/hunting-shooting/scopes/rimfireultralight-riflescopes/vx-2-3-9x33mm-rimfire-efr/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxo Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 What kind of shooting do you do? I shoot mostly at night and I've just backed a Bushnell Elite 6500 because it was pants in comparison with my Hawke Sidewinder with a gen 3 Archer NV. Quite a lot of expensive scopes are not good with night vision. It's the coatings apparently. Glasswise the Elite would've been fine for daytime.

Kalahari Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I have a Nikon air rifle scope with adjustable parrallax on my 22. Seems to work. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Swaro - you don't state use or budget so . . . . For £359 I have a new Hawke Sidewinder IL 4-16x50 on my HW 100 air rifle which I shoot rested out to 50 yards. For £995 - I have a NF SHV IL 4-14x56 on my Anschutz .22 LR. In real life shooting it's hard to tell the two apart - day or night Best scope I wish I have never sold for simplicity and dusk - together with an original Finnfire - Simmons Whitetail Classic 3-10x50 (Uttings currently £149). Leupold seem to have gone out of favour so good deals to be had, and as Bowji suggested, a Sightron. Vortex - I find very on/off regards eye relief.
