Hi all,

I have an SR22 and am new to using scopes. I've been using iron sights for plinking for years but figure it's time to try something new. I've done a little research, I know I want a mil-dot but am still unsure on what to buy.

Would this scope be suitable and would it fit on the SR22's picatinny rail?

Thanks everyone in advance for you help!
 
too many features at that price point, so optics are likely to suck. walk into a LeBaron and look through a Redfield, a Leupold, a Bush Trophy XLT, and a Bush 6500 (ignoring the price points) and see what stuff really looks like. you might end up saying that a Bush 3200 is as low as you'd go quality-wise, or you might really fall in love with something else.

depends on what you want. the redfield stuff can be had for $200 or less at lebaron and optically i think they're very good - but they're slim on "features". there's a bushnell trophy xlt 4-12x40 that has good features and quite good optics for around $180. neither have mildots. do you want mildots cuz everyone talks about and has mildots, or do you actually intend to measure drops and use them to tweak your elev/wind or even use them for holdovers? if you just need a few points for estimating bullet drop, the redfield accurange reticle might be adequate - or maybe the bushnell DOA600 if you can get past the fact that the "buck horn" marks would be completely backwards for windage (the Zeiss Rapid-Z reticle is the right way to combine drop+wind, but $500 is the asking price there)

for around $230 or so, the bushnell 3200 fixed-power 10x tactical whatever is apparently VERY good - if you're ok with fixed power. most police sharpshooters are.

I was leaning towards mil-dots for the ease of holdovers and wind adjustment. I have some frying pans decorating the trees at the cottage and wanted to set up some more at further varying distances. I figured a mil-dot would be perfect to shoot quickly and accurately at pans from 30rds to 140ish yards.
 
scope for SR-22

I have an $80 2.5-10x40 Tasco on mine. It has turret knobs, mil dots, and an adjustable parallax, which means I can shoot the little .22 at 50 yards or at 150 (using the mil dots for holdover, or dialling in the drop on the turrets when I get around to working up a drop chart.

It needs high rings because of the SR's straight stock, but it's more scope than the gun demands, and it's cheap.

Now if I could only find a .22 load that the gun will group with, I would be off to the races. Good luck!
 
I use a Burris Fullfield 2x7 ballistiplex scope on my SR 22. You can get them for a bout $200. It is very bright compared to other scopes in its price range. The ballistiplex reticle is much more practical to use than mil dots. After all, it is a 22 and your not punching out to long distances. I have mine set so that the crosshirs are dead center at 50 yrds, 1st plex is 100, next is 125 and next is 150. 1" hold under at 25 yrds. The high signature zee rings are awesome for the SR and get an extra set of +/- inserts for them because it will help center up the reticle at your most commonest range. I had to put -10 moa on mine to be able to dial out to 150 yrds.
