help finding a scope website or a scope itself

[Margucci]

im in the process of building up my bench .22 target rifle. i am going nuts trying to find a scope. does anyone know of a decent site that you can filter features of a very large selection of scopes? ideally i would like to be able to filter down the criteria i am looking for below.
1) first focal plane
2) mil dot or equivalent mil scale
3) mil adjustments
4) pretty good max magnification (at least 15x. would like closer to 20x)
5) parallax adjustment down to sub 50m (true 50m)
6) something that will hopefully not break the bank. ideally around $500-600 (probably not). otherwise hopefully under $750.

so far http://www.falconoptics.com/5.5-25x50FFP.php looks to be the only thing i can find which fits everything. some criticisms about the turret adjustments being a little mushy though. i was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations.

i know what i am looking for is probably a little overkill. but i do want it to last and be something i can even swap to some longer range rifles in the future.

thanks a ton for your time.

A 15+x zoom for a .22 rifle is very overkill. I would suggest you look at something in a 3-9x30 range. Also, with the scope you mentioned, it will be enormous on a little 22 and doubt you will be happy with the end result.

I like the Leapers UTG 3-9X32 Compact CQB Bug Buster AO RGB Scope. I mounted one onto my 10/22 and have been very impressed with it. You can easily find them under $150 which is good value for the features... but it is Chinese made like many of the cheap scopes out there.

really cuz my 5-15x50 works and looks just fine on my .22.....


OP, the scope you have linked, my buddy had, i found the x-hairs to be ridiculously thick, even on his 308 any thing out side of banging steel and id hate to ever have to use them. no way they would suit a .22cal , i can almost guarantee (from memory) that even at 50yds they would completely cover you previous bullet hole . as much as i cant make a suggestion off the top of my head, i can recommend against the falcon

Sorry bro, your guarantee would fail. I have one of these on a M70. The reticle is too fine for use in low light (dusk) conditions on a hunting rifle but makes for great daylight target shooting. There is a common myth (unrelated to your statement) that FFP mounted reticles grow as magnification increases enough to cover substantial portions of a target. This assertion seems to ignore the obvious fact that with magnification increases, target size grows too. The Falcon is Bushnell quality glass in a very rugged, better featured, economically priced scope. Some of the very finest, and priciest, rifle scopes made, place reticles in the FFP. This feature usually comes at a premium. I'd agree the OP's choice isn't really overkill predominantly because he's getting what he's getting for under $500.00 not $1,500.00. "Why not" ?

this wont be a field gun at all. size, weight, and even looks have little to do with what i am looking for. basically just a bench gun (occasionally prone). for hitting steel or targets i would agree with you. im trying to do like 1/2" groups at 50m.

thanks for the recommendation. honestly i know its going to be VERY hard to find a FFP with a reticle that wont obscure everything at 50m. maybe i might just have to go with a 2nd FP scope, plain reticle, with reliable tracking and just accept that i will only really be able to use it on this gun. i know i can get everything i want in a $1.5k scope..... but that isnt going to happen.

Ya I started to look at the specs more closely and see that the retical is now .06mils thick . It must have changed at some point as my buddies was more like 1/2 Moa.. But as I said my recollection was from memory

looks like this is probably the way i will go. i just wish there was a website with proper filters.
