What currently produced optic is the one most commonly used in 22lr longer range competitions? Looking for one to put on my little guy's cz so he can learn to quickly shoot at 25 yard targets and out to 200 yard targets. would like a ranging reticle.
 
Can't help with the recticle, but I have a Bushnell 4200 4-16 x 40AO on my CIL/Anschutz and it is certainly not too much scope for a rimfire. I also have a 3200 5-15x50AO on my 12FV and I wouldn't hesitate to use it on a rimfire, either. Both of these scopes are available with mil-dot recticles if that would suit your uses.

I cannot comment on a reticles as I prefer a thin/wide duplex or a fine cross hair. But I would recommend doing a lot of research into MOA and make sure the scope you choose has enough elevation adjustment to go from 25 yards to 200 yards. That or you may find yourself needing shims, inserts or a tapered rail in order to reach 200 yards in which case it may not zero down to 25 yards.

I'm using a Bushnell 4200 8-32x40 with AO. Problem is it only has 26 MOA of adjustment and I needed the -10/+10 inserts in order to have enough elevation to change from 25 to 100 yards. But I defiantly do not have enough left to reach 200 yards. So be careful when choosing a scope as most high magnification scopes will have less range of adjustment.

I've owned a 4200 (sold it as a package with a Tikka T3 Lite in .300 WSM some years ago) and I'll second this as a great recommendation. The 4-16 provides a perfect range for what the OP describes.

I run the 4200 4-16x's and the 6500 2.5-16x's. The 4200 is adjustable to 20 yards and the 6500 goes down to 10. My only complaint is that the 4200's are ridiculously long, longer than the 6-24x's even.

Bushnell makes the only side adjust scopes suitable for a rimfire. At least I haven't been able to find any others.
 
sounds like a collective ringing of buy a centerfire rifle optic with enough elevation range? I have NF collecting dust that will do the trick but didn't quite want to put it on a 6 year olds cz scout. Should raise some eyebrows at the range.
 
Leupold 6-18 with adjustable objective and target dot. Also a good idea to get the target turrets, once he figures them out, it makes shooting at any distance easy.

I found a picture of what that would look like in car form:

Yeah, I think you'll be more than happy if you go with the Bushnell Elite range.

You want a scope that also has a parallax adjustment down to 20 yards for a rimfire. I shoot inside during the winter and without this you get parallax problems. Most centerfire scopes are set to 100 yards parallax free.

Scopes I commonly use on rimfires, but they are not for competition. Falcon 4-14x, and 4.5-18x, Leupold EFR 6.5-20x.
