Scope recommendation

Just because I'm very bored at work, recommend me a scope.

I'm not buying right now, so kind offers to sell me something probably won't go anywhere :D

It's for my 22LR. I've always been fussy about rimfire scopes (targets are smaller!), admittedly, these are wants rather than needs if a distinction exists.

- Reasonable quality with weather and fog proofing, not cheap crap (i.e. VX-Freedom level and above, would like to keep price under $1K)
- Ideally 1 inch tube, but could compromise
- Maximum magnification 12 - 16x
- Non-dialling/non-exposed turrets
- BDC reticle
- AO

I've always had Leupold scopes, but don't think anything in their current range fits the bill, so will stay open minded about brand.

Vixen 4-16x. And you will have plenty of change.

Damn, first reply and all criteria fulfilled! Thanks. Is this the one? https://www.scopeuout.co.nz/products...th-bdc-reticle

I assume you have experience with the brand and like it?

Hawke scopes, best known as air rifle Scopes do a very very good job as a rifle scope and have the features you're after.

I have 2. A 3-12x on my 10/22 and a 4-16x on my 17HMR. Very happy with them for the work they do. Quite a fine reticle so good for precision small targets. Mine are standard duplex and mil dot reticles. Also very light weight.

That the one @MB but about $90 cheaper from Reloaders

minox is worth a look

TTT

I think Tracy do a 4-14x dedicated rimfire scope with hash marks for .22 HV ammo.

On my high grade .22LR outfits for targets it’s 6.5-20 or 6-18 x leupolds or similiar. Hunting 3-9x vx3 efr.

I've got one on my EM-332 and for the money it's the ducks nuts. @Marty Henry - the Vixen replaced a Hawke, and I have no regrets.
