Good 22 scope with bullet drop/target turrets?

[Armedsask]

I was out popping some early gophers yesterday and having a hell of a time. However, I was using subsonic and decided I need an adjustable scope for different loads as most shots were guessing. I've always just used cheap Tasco scopes for my 22 rifles.

So who makes a good 22 optic with target turrets? I like the new Redfield tactical 22. Anyone else?

The new Bushnell AR series come to mind. I even think they have one dedicated for rimfire if I recall with side parallax too.

Look at Nikon's P22. 179$ at Prophet River. Redfield should make a good one also.

Lots of great target scopes. What is your budget? how far do you want to play?

if shots are under 50yds, look at front AO scopes.

if always further, side focus scopes are great to work with.

Really looking forward to go gopher poppin with this one. Cz 452 Lux, Mueller 8-32 Target.

I don't need anything super amazing out to long ranges. Putting it on a 10/22 Target with the heavy barrel. Gophers and plinking out to 100 on average.

Cost is not a factor but I don't think I'd ever spend more than $300 on a 22 scope.

The Bushnell and Nikon look about right.

While you're looking, the Vortex scopes are also very good, have a Diamondback 4-12 AO that serves me well. A lot of recommendations for more than the regular 3-9x types in other posts on here.

I have a hawke eclipse 30 4-16 with a mildot reticle and for $320.00 it is super awesome. More than clear enough. Smooth side focus. Lots of features for not much money and everyone over looks them because they were originally made for airguns but are becoming more popular on even the heaviest recoilong rifles. Anyways you should look into them.. At 16x I hold the centre where I want to hit out to 50 yards. 75 yards I use the first dot. 100 yards I'm using the third and out to 125 I use bottom post. Works like a charm. I prefer to hold over vs using turrets but they can be easily adjusted too.

I'm not putting a 16x scope on a 22.

Probably going to pick up the Nikon.

The magnification is secondary to what I was trying to say. Good luck with whatever you choose!

Well, I did some more digging and finally decided on the Redfield. I was all over the Nikon but prefer the reticle on the Redfield. It will allow me to record the different hold overs for subsonic.

I have a Nikon p22 on my Brno 2e with target turrets and it's great for the money
