Scope + Rings Reccomondation for CZ 457 Canadian?
- Thread starter Northern Shooter
- Start date
I played around at the range today. At 100y you CAN see 0.22 holes IN WHITE PAPER with ~7 power. Easy at 9,much easier at 14+. I assume this means you want 14 at 200,21 at 300etc. Luckily my scopes are 3-9 and 6-24.
If shooting steel, much less. Your slag will make about a 1/2" impact at minimum.

Nah, the Athlon Helos Jerry and I mentioned is only $800. At least it was last year when I bought mine.

Thanks for the report, this is what I wanted to know. I'll likely going with something in the middle ground like a 4-16x. or 3-15x to be low enough for hunting but high enough for 200m targets.
Grouse mostly. Definately need something I can crank down to 3-4x so I can actually see what I'm shooting at.

Don't do much longer distance shooting... but for casual range use and hunting. I kind of like the older Leupold 3.5x10 (with the AO) Smaller/lighter than many of the newer offering Don't really like the big eyepiece many of new scopes have.
Bushnell is a pretty good back for you $, they often have sales.
One scope that's been bugging is the Meopta MeoPro Optika5 2-10x42
- Focus down to 10 yards

Hunting rifles and range rifles are generally two different animals. My bunny and grouse rifle is a stainless savage with a 2-7 power scope. For the range with anything .22 caliber I prefer a higher magnification for just punching paper. Even for coyote hunting the max I’d carry afield is 14x top end. That’s just me, I did my share of carrying bulky rifles with overweight scopes in the field for coyote hunting and I’m totally over that. I have never found a good compromise when trying a whopper scope on a trim hunting rig. I’d look for a 4-12 at max and be done with it!
Ok savage mkii questions. Do u still use the supplied stock?
Your opinion of the mkii fv sr heavy barell version. I think there is a newer model, forget the model, it uses a rotary magazine and the stock looks much better. Your opinion please?
I was looking at ruger american and cz. The models were running 700$ to 800$ but with keeper stocks. Im pumping the brakes cause I hear a lot or good stuff about savage accuracy. There is a model with a boyds stock, any imput on that.
I am tryong to find a diamond back tactical ffp because I want to check out the eye box unforgiving line up.
This on a 22, I plan to use it also on a t3 varmit or some such higher cal rifle.

I haven't yet but I am leaning more towards hunting and general plinking vs precision style shooting.
I want something that falls in the middle ground, more than a 3-9x but less than a 6-24x and looking to spend less than the rifle ($700).
Why not a bushnell match pro for 550$ used. Best glass under 1k. Stop zooming at 16x if you want, that's what I do.
Never owned (or considered) a Bushnell before, I'll look into them.
