Is NRL 22 capped at 100 yds for most stages?Ideally, a FFP scope using mil based adjustments with a magnification range of 5-25 power and a Christmas tree style reticle and a side parallax adjustmentthat that goes as low as 25yds. That description will cover 99% of your needs and scenarios.
A 20-30 MOA canted rail would be adequate for most setups. But technically may not even be needed if your optic has tons of internal adjustment. If you have 7 mils of useable travel....you will be covered to 200yds on most setups. So double that amount in stated total internal travel would be ideal. The rail shouldn't exceed 45% of your chosen scope's total internal travel spec.
Most NRL22 matches have bonus stages that exceed the typical 100yds and in general format. So just plan to shoot whatever the max range your match location can support.
Each course of fire has 2 options, one of which stops at 100. Do not buy a scope based on that. Rimfire matches often go to 300+, depending on the particular range facility used. Plan on that.Is NRL 22 capped at 100 yds for most stages?
To just try it out, anything with > 10x magnification and exposed turrets. Highly recommend first focal plane as well. Athlon and Arken and Vortex are popular first time options.
*edit* parallax needs to go down to 25 yards on your scope

SWFA SS scopes come in 10X, 12X, 16X and 20X great scopes for $299.00. I have Vortex Strike Eagle 5 X 25 on my 22LR with 20 moa rail and Burris XTR Signature rings with 30moa in the inserts. Zero at 50 yds and can dial to 500yds. Arken has there scopes on sale. https://www.arkenopticsusa.com/ I have a EP-5 5-25 X 56 FFP I like it close to the Strike Eagle.To just try it out, anything with > 10x magnification and exposed turrets.

Is illuminated reticle a feature or a benefit worth considering one way or another?
