The nikon prostaff I have on my kids' CZ 455 scout broke so I need a new scope and would like suggestions. Around $500 or less, mil, FFP preferred, xmas tree reticle preferred, parallax down to 25 yrds at least. I'm not opposed to buying used.

Did Nikon refuse to fix your ProStaff?
SWFA SS 3-15x42, Midas Ares BTR.
If you were OK with MOA, SwampFox Kentucky Long is a pretty nice scope, but the mrad version is not out yet.

My son dropped the scope so it won't get fixed through warranty. Any idea when the mrad SwampFox is coming out?

I heard it from a "source" that the new Burris RT6 Long Range may be available next month. I think these are going to make a great rimfire optic as well as a more affordable tactical long range optic. Comes in 3-15×50 and 5-25×56 in FFP with the SCR2 reticle.

Will be interested to see how this compares to the PST G2.
Shame they aren't doing a 4-20x50.
Athlon Ares BTR 2.5-15. Or any Athlon that fits the bill. For value, Athlon is gonna be hard to beat. It'll come down to reticles you like.
I really like my Vortex Diamondback 4-16 FFP for the price. You could snag one and have plenty left over for ammo.
I would be looking at Athlon. I have the one Doug listed above. Its a very nice scope for the price. Its over your budget a bit but worth it. Also if your kid breaks this one. Send it Athlon and they will fix it. I had to send one in for warranty sent it on Monday had my replacement on Friday. If you can't swing the extra budget look at Athlon Argos. I would personal wait to get the extra coin for the Tac its worth it. @gr8fuldoug should be able to hook you up either and looks to still have a heck of deal on Argos gen1s.
The Midas Tac is definitely an option. I have an ERS I'm very happy with. The RT6 sounds interesting as well.
depending on your price range and specifics of what you want your choices are vast just for 50 feet to 300 yards you could almost pick anything scope but what details you will be able to or not be able to see will differ . I like the sightron 10x50x60 30mm sfp we have on ours , Its nice to have the extra magnification and be able to use it but at $1050 that's my max price for a 22 yours could be 10xs that I don't know . I have shot it out to 300 yards with a 22 and that scope and its still nice to be able to see smaller details at that distance . Good luck on what ever you get may it serve you well .
I think they were intentionally limiting this.
So far though, the RT6 lineup will have a 1-6 SFP, a 1-8 FFP/DFP(?) the 3-15 and 5-25 FFP. All compact and lightweight. All pretty affordable.
If it's all as good a value as the 1-6, it's going to be very popular.
I love my FFP Patriot 6-24x scope(MIL version)...it is perfect for the .22 that I shoot out to 200 yards (so far); and I think it meets all your wants!
Swampfox Patriot
Here it is on my Anschutz 64...I was going to put it on my Anschutz 1411 (54 action) but it is too damn heavy to shoot offhand with that long HEAVY barrel without a shooting coat and palm rest.

Bird dog, and wild guess on price, specifically the 5-25 ?I heard it from a "source" that the new Burris RT6 Long Range may be available next month.

Give Doug a call and get the Athlon Midas TAC from Camerland. Not much over your budget but well worth it. The APRS3 reticle with the small center dot is ideal for shooting 22 rimfire. I run that reticle but in the Athlon Cronus BTR on both my 22 rimfires!
I'm not sure on this. I've heard these go to 15 yards, and the website is an error. I had one on my prize table at my PRS match, but was busy and never caught up to.the guy that picked it up. I wanted to crack it open and play with it.
But personally speaking, I've never shot at a target at less than 25 yards in a rimfire competition. And the ocassional super close whistle pig I plunked using my XTR3 didnt require any parallax adjustment. Put them in the crosshairs and pull the trigger.
I believe this is a scope from the Philippines. But I havent confirmed it.
As I mentioned above I had one brand new in the box but didnt get to play with it. In hindsight I should have taken off the cellophane and cracked it open. I didnt want to diminish someone's prize table winnings and I thought I would catch up to them and convince them to open it.
