Just getting into the 22lr game. What scope is everyone running on their CZ457 Provarmit Supressor Ready to stay under the $1,050 total cost for NRL22 Base Class? Thanks!
Scope for NRL 22 Base Class with CZ457 Provarmit
- Thread starter shax2lex
- Start date
Bushnell match pro whenever its available again, maybe next year. If you want something this winter look at Athlon argos.
Probably a dumb question but are you guys running first or second focal plane scopes for the .22LR? Thanks!!!!
I’m not a match shooter so others should comment but there’s this.

Athlon scopes have some of the clearest glass that I have seen!! Those things rival scopes that cost $1,000 more!
With a rifle MSRP of $588, you'll have to stay under $462 MSRP for your scope due to the $1,050 limit for base class... MSRP is what matters, not the actual price.
$499 MSRP is over the OP's remaining limit for base class
$712.49 MSRP - you won't see those in Base class.I’m not a match shooter so others should comment but there’s this.

Forgot about that option
Scope and rifle need to be under $1,050 MSRP - how you split it is up to you. Given the strong advantage of a well featured FFP scope like the Match Pro ($450-500, if they ever make more of them), that leaves just enough budget for the Tikka T1x or some CZ 457 variants. Both shoot great.
I started out in base class with a Tikka T1X (MSRP $499) and a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16x44 (MSRP $449). There's definitely some features that I missed with the Vortex (locking turrets, zero stop) but I was competitive with it like that for several months before I started upgrading out of base class.
Every rifle is different, so you have to test several different models at least, and different lots of each. That said, price to performance ratio for my guns has always had the sweet spot in the $9-12/box range.
