C/z .22 hornet American.

[moonfleet]

I have just  got a nice hornet American 22 what size scope would be suitable for good cheek contact and bolt clearance probably going to use a n/v add on mill dot would be nice and illuminated perhaps what are people using.

I use a 6x42 schmidt

[moonfleet]

Nice scope but don’t know if that would work with n/v add on.

I use a torch

I use a 4 - 16 x 44 Hawke Compact on my 17 Hornet with a Pard 007 and they are a very good match.

Athlon Midas 2.5-15x50 - god day scope and works well with rear NV add-ons.

Bolt clearance may well be an issue, so you might want to think about getting one of these bolts from Glades Armory

New 527 bolts clear all but absurdly large rear objectives.

I have a 4-12 x 42 with a  1" tube on my American Hornet. I like to keep glass size in proportion to the size of the rifle, with the glass mounted as close to the bore as possible. ~Andree
