Thread: is a 3-9x40 scope an overkill for a .22?

I use a trs25 red dot on my 10/22 and find zero advantage of anything bigger. Every now and then I put a 4x or 3-9X scope on it but it usually only lasts for one night, then it comes off in disgust. 22LR zeroed at 50m wlll be dropping anywhere from 10-15cm at 100m, what's the point of a huge scope with such a short range cartridge?
