I have had many people tell me not to mount my Elite 3200 10X40 on a .22. What are the reasons for not doing this? I have a cheap 3X-9X on there now and it sucks farts out of dead seagulls. Perhaps I haven't adjusted it properly but I could hardly make out a target at 25 yrds!

if you buy a cheap scope that is not .22 rated.. ie: has the Objective adjusted to rimfire ranges it is going to suck azz o matter what you do.
buy a rimfire rated scope.... 3-9x33 or get one with an adjustable objective.... your 10x is a great scope but again you run into the problem of where it is focused for, most centerfire scopes are focused for 150 yds.

I certainly am not arguing against putting the scope on the 22. The only thing that would concern me if I owned the gun is the reduced close range field of view with the big scope. Of course a narrow field of view may slow your target acquisition down. If you shoot paper with it that issue would never bother you.
