Still wanna try one of these they seem super high end. but still my $200 or less vortex has served me well for probably 15 years on that savage
Hard to beat that
FWIW, my main rule-of-thumb when buying toys, (from guns to guitars to bicycles) is, "everything else being more-or-less equal.....go with best re-sale value"! And IMO, that's probably the above-mentioned Leupold ( at least among the more reasonable priced options).
The thing I’ve noticed that’s critical with 22lr is bullet drop and parallax. If my zero is at 50 yds and I want to shoot at 100 yds I have to dial 1.8 mils or hold it over on my reticle. If I want to shoot 200 yds I have to dial 6.7 mils or hold it over on my reticle and I can’t see those targets clearly with a fixed parallax on all 3 of those distances. Furthermore being able to dial a tac style turret and have an adjustable parallax I can move to match the distance I’m shooting is a must for accurate 1 shot impacts if I read the wind call correctly. That’s just my 2 cents worth of experience.
I would look for a used Nikon Pro-Staff 3-9 Rimfire Series 2 - Sturdy as an anvil.
I have a 3-9 on my 16 inch Mk2 volt, so looking for something at least in the 12 to 14 range for the 22 inch on this go around.
I like the Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25 because the parallax is 15 yards to infinity. So you can really clear up super close targets with it. Perfect for training with the little ones.
I settled on the Arken with Vortex rings since I needed Weaver rings.
Cheap Bipod and sling. The suppressor is a Little Bird. I've shot 15 rnds so far, but haven't zeroed or grouped it yet, as the range is about 3 ft under water currently.
