We used to fit 4-12 Nikko Stirling Airkings with the adjustable objective. It is what I use on my personal 22 as well. Designed to withstand the harsh vibrations of an air rifle as well as being able to focus on closer targets makes the great for 22s. Anywhere that sells Howa should be able to help. There are some 4-16s here and I have access to a JW to make sure I have rings to fit it if you wanted to go real big, but personally 16x is probably more than a 22 needs.
