Thread: What scope are you running on your .22?

Long range .22 target shooting would need dialing but for hunting it isn't often required.

That range is way too small. I'm happy with shots out to 100m or more with my 22's. I tend to hunt on 4x and the mildots are then quite useful. Sight in at whatever distance you desire, I use 75m, then shoot at other distances and see where the business bit lands and take a note relative to the reticle. There you have a very quick and dirty in your eyepiece dropchart.
