Thread: Scopes for rimfire hunting rifles

Fellas

This thread came up in a google search for “best rimfire scope” which was handy. Had a go at gongs today at double the distance I’ve ever shot .22LR (CCI subs) and was amazed how simple it was. 230m and 170m, CZ 455. Helps to have a good tutor eh.

So this brings me to scopes. Where I shoot bunnies, I have time to range and dial and am used to it with centrefire varminting. I hold over when I need to be quick, and use tactical reticles. That’s what I’m used too, I find reticles like the Vortex type EBR-2C mrad or Bushnell G2DMR much better for a big elevation hold with windage, compared to mildot. I also only use FFP for dialing scopes and got a lesson today in using SFP.

So now to the question. If I go with a new to me .22LR like the 455, the intention is to master the long range rimfire. I see since tis thread was started Vortex has released its Diamondback Tactical range with FFP. Anyone got one? Which one? Also keen to hear if any of you fellas have gone with similar scopes from other brands for longer range rimfire recently.
