i want to do something crazy

[H&H magnum]

hi!, i just bought my first rifle ever it is a ruger 10/22 wich i want to build and make it as accurate as possible, and im planning to do some training and a lot more training with it, so here comes the tough part,choosing the scope, I want to go big with the glass from the beggining so when i build the skills i can mount the scope on another rifle something like a 308 so the candidate i have is the sightron SIIISS832X56LRMD but my complain is that nobody has told me if this scope will focus at 25 yards nor have a clear image at 15-25 yards a its lowest magnification setting. im asking this beacuse its necesarry to shoot at those distances when silohette(tiny birds silouhettes) shooting in competitions (femeti) i know some scopes have a 10 - infinite yards parallax setting, im also considering the hawke 8x32-56mm mil-dot reticle. also here in my country sightron is one of the authorized scope manufacturers so im covered by a lifetime warraty if something is wrong with the scope, and the other manufacturer is leupold but their representative here in mexico have a very bad rep for customer service when you talk about warranties

please help!!

Well, I am unable to give advice on the scopes you are looking at, I can recommend Kidd or EGW for rails, what you do for rings will be up to your stock ad barrel configuration.
When doing your build, give Rimfire Central a look at bedding the entire action. Again, stock choice will have some influence. Good luck with your build. I have gone through a lot with mine, I can only add to look very carefully at the parts you will put on your rifle to make sure they will work together. And a drop in trigger unit such as a Kidd or Timney is a timesaver with real positive results.

Wow, member for six years before 1st post. Don't go cheap on scope if you plan to use it for a while.

Have you called Sightron or emailed them about the scope? Also could you find one to look at in person? I ask only because I don't know the market for such scopes in Mexico. What is the shooting community like where you live, is it popular?

Why would you even consider a scope like that for what you want to do??

Leupold EFR scope, 6.5x20. It will focus down to about 40 yds maybe a bit closer, and they used to have a 50 foot adapter that you could buy to add to it, don't know if they still do. They are expensive, but they come with a lifetime warranty. This applies to used ones as well. They would be a scope that you could put on a 308 later on.

Check out Weaver Scopes. Then go with as many Kidd upgrades as you can especially the trigger. You may want to check out the new Titan stock for the 10/22
