What scope would be good for a .22lr?

I'm looking for a scope to put on a Mark II BTVS, and i don't want to spend more than $150. I have a Nikon Prostaff, but i'm not really sure how good the reticle would be for 100-150 yard shots. All help is greatly appreciated!!

Depends on your intended use. 22LR Tactical Competitions require more magnification than hunting or plinking. The Nikon Buckmaster 4-14x44SF seem to do very well and have solid adjustments. If you can live with a fixed power, the Bushnell 3200 10x40mildot with Target Turrets is also a good one.

I've got a Center Point that's for sale if you're interested. It's new in the box and never been mounted. It's the power class 3-12X44mm with red and green illuminated mil-dot.

Thanks...ANDY

for those kind of shots, you are going to need about 20 MOAs or so. Nikon are great. I have a Vortex Viper 6-20 on mine. Got it here from one of the Hide member. Works great. Lots of MOAs left over and it's Mildot.

Hi Andy,

I thought i would was going to have left over money after i bought the gun, but I'm not. It turns out I'll only have around $20 to work with, so i guess I'm using the 3-9 prostaff. Thanks for the offer!

Hello,

I was (and still am) looking at Nikon and Leupold 'scopes for my Mk II BTVS.

However, there was a recommendation by someone I consider a rimfire guru, of the Mueller APV 'scope.

It's a 4.5x - 14x variable, AO adjustable down below 10 yards.

The glass is Japanese, and though assembled in China, it is done so through a the Japanese company and must pass Japanese inspection before being shipped here.

I have mine sighted in at 50 yards, know the hold over for 75 yards, and have the turret marked for 100 yards (24 clicks; 6 MOA).

It works very well for what it is, and I would compare the optical quality to Nikon, though neither approach Leupold.

Zero does not drift, and it has no problem returning to 50 yards after being taken up to 100yds.
