just bought a heavy barreled 10/22 and might consider selling my Remington model 5 now that i have this.

I currently have a BSA .22 special scope on my Remington. Ive not had any particular problem with it but was wondering if my new 10/22 was worthy of something more before switching it over.

Any suggestions in the up to 250 price range? used is fine, prefer multiple magnification scopes. Or keep the BSA?

i shoot a mossberg 144 LSB heavy barrel both for targets from 50 to 200 yards and open field gophers to the same....i have on board a Tasco 6x24 x42 scope and find that the multi power adjustability does great for both close and long shots. Optics are clear and after being on my .223 for years, it works fine. It runs about $100 plus taxes.
 
The 10-22 heavy barrel gun will justify a better scope. Try any Bushnell Banner with adjustable objective (3.5-10x36, 4-12x40 AO, ect) or move up a model line in Bushnell to the Trophy 4-12x40 AO. The BSA and Simmons lines also offer some higher magnification opticts with AO that will work well. Phil.

Remember that if it is fixed parallax in the 3200 series, the parallax free distance is 100 yds. You will have to go to at least a 4-12x40 or higher to get adjustable objective that would be suitable for variable rimfire distances of 10-100 yds. Phil.
 
I put a 4-12 banner on my 10/22T. It works very well on that rifle. The only thing about it I dont like is the knobs. I prefer tactical knobs but it isnt a big deal.

now this is something im not that familiar with. Ive read up on parallax but still not sure how it all works.

Care to explain how this affects me? My bsa apparantly has a fixed parallax of 100m but Im shooting it at 25-50 most times. With adjustable parallax, does it simply help get better groups being dialed in for the right distance?

Parallax is the alignment of the reticle and the image you are looking at. The ideal situation is when the reticle and image are in the same plane in the scope so when you move your head up and down or side to side there is no movement between the reticle and image. Most scopes are fixed parallax and hunting scopes are usually parallax free at 100-150 yards and shotgun and rimfire are 50-60 yards. Adjustable parallax scopes will either have the adjustment at the objective end (adjustable objective or AO) or a third turret on the left side of the scope. Some scopes will mark out yards or meters as a guide but the proper way to use it is to focus the adjustment so you have the sharpest image and this will usually result in a parallax free situation. Phil.
 
Bushnell Banner 4-12 with AO is what I got on my 10/22T and never had issues with it. If you have low rings and the BC flip caps the adjustable objective kinda gets hard to adjust, the caps hit the barrel.

AO is the way to go for .22 cause you shoot anywhere from 25 to 200 yards (long range .22 is wicked fun)
