I recently bought a sr22, and Im not sure what way to go with putting a scope on it. Since its a tactical looking gun, I'm thinking of putting a vortex sparc red dot on it, to keep its tactical looks, but I kind of wanted a bit of magnification, so I can be more accurate at 100 yards. Ideally, I would buy a 3.5 or 4x acog, but I cant justify spending that much on one, for a 22lr, and I dont want a chinese knock off. I have been thinking recently about buying a millet dms 1-4x scope, or maybe a vortex diamondback 1.5-5x. Im wondering what type of scope, other sr22 owners are using, and how it works with it, and how it looks on it ?

Does anyone use a regular hunting style scope, like a 3x9x40 ? Does it look out of place on it, if your using a tradition style scope ?

I saw a picture of a guys sr22 with a big 6x18x50 scope on it, with a bipod, and it actually looked like a modern tactical sniper rifle, but I dont think I want something that big & heavy, because I plan on walking with this gun, from time to time, for small game hunting.
 
I had a Bushnell TRS-25 kicking around that I tossed on my SR22. I'm currently debating a quick release for it, and grabbing a Nikon P-22 (3-9 BDC) matched with another quick release so I can have the best of both worlds.
 
This is what I use - Leupold 2-7 x28mm...nice, light and only 10". Also use an Aimpoint PRO...both are equally fun for different reasons.

Thanks for posting that pic of yours with a 2x7 scope. I might go that route as well, because I like the option of extra magnification over a tactical style scope. Looks good, and not out of place. Your entire gun looks good.

Btw, what type of magazine is that ? it looks much better than my skinny butler creek, in mine.

Thanks. It is a PMAG cut down and epoxied to a factory 10 round rotary mag...wish I could say it was functional, but just for looks :) That said, it does make for easy mag changes. Good luck with your build.
