leupold VX-I rimfire 2-7x28, any views?

[crunchiespg]

im looking to buy a scope for a CZ452 .22 American. and from looking at scopes in wholesale sports the leupold VX-I 2-7x28 rimfire seems to fit the bill. it was $289 or so. it looked nice in the shop, but its hard to tell without actually using it on a rifle..


has anyone got one? any views on how good it is? any alternatives?

i really want 32mm or less scope, as thats the limit for the mounts i have. and that one seemed nice and bright. the only thing i think i might like is perhaps 9x mag. but then i think 6 to 7 times is what i use most so this one will do i feel.
will be used for informal targets, and gophers. probably up to 100 yards or so..

so any ideas?
thanks

It's a good scope for a 22, and should work well for you. - dan

I have a Weaver 2.5 x 7 - 28mm on one of my CZs, works real well for hunting. I like more power for target shooting and have several Bushnell Banner 4 x 12 - 40 AOs on my other .22s, they work great.

ive got some low sportsmatch ones from the UK. seem to be a lot better than most available here unless you pay silly money.


isnt the EFR set for 150 yard parallax? the VX-I rimfires are set for 60 yards..

The first setting is actually 10 meters.

oh you have the AO version...

makes sense. personally i dotn want that as i have never missed it in the past and i feel i wouldnt be bothered to change it when i needed to suddenly change the distance. ie when hunting.
