What power scope for a .22?

[cwlongshot]

Personally I like to be over scoped on my rim fires...

Natchez has a great deal on Simmons 4x12 and 6x18 scopes. These are 69 & 59 dollars respectively. I bought one initially to see and liked them SO MUCH I bought FOUR MORE!! http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=SN517721&src=exrbSrch

They have GREAT clarity, EXCELLENT eye relief. SIDE focus parallax adjustment. (A ABSOLUTE MUST for my rim fires)

Give them a look, I KNOW you will like what you see.

I probably would have given it a whirl but seems like a LOT of scope

 Finally sighted in the Barska scope yesterday for the first time. Easy no tools setup and it works great! Really happy with the purchase so far and makes me excited to try 100 yards next time out.

Happy to see everything worked out well in the end.

You don't really mention what it is for, which makes answering the question less precise.

As an all around I have read good things about this scope:

But, it will have a limited field of vision if you are looking for something to pick off pests with.

I really can't see going to a 14 power scope with a .22 LR. I think a 2X7 would be just fine. Besides that, I don't think my RIFLE cost that much. Think it was an $80 K-Mart blue light special.

You can't go wrong with a 3-9X32mm or 3-9X40mm
I like ones with an Adjustable Objective
Remember, a good Air Rifle Scope will work well on a 22 too

But it has to be a GOOD air rifle scope, since a 22's kick is a little bit stronger!

True, but a High Power Spring Gun has an odd reverse Recoil when the Spring reaches full extension

Spring air rifles are very hard on a scope because of their very sharp reverse recoil impulse. It looks like DenStinett was going to explain this but his post was probably cut off. I would use an air rifle rated scope on my .22 in a heart beat.

What ammo are you runnin'?

[Intercooler]

I have put 5 or 6 types through it so far. I mainly shoot Federal value box or Champion.

Copy that
If I don't check, I end-up missing have my posts
But you're rignt on point
A Springer hits in both directions, so a good Pellet Rifle Scope will out last any mid to low end 22 Scope

Same Scope on my Marlin 39 Mountie 22LR a Lyman All American 4x for 60 years.
Still killing game today !
