Thank you for your help

that really depends on what distance you are shooting, what type of accuracy you expect and what youre comfortable with. Out to about 50 yds a red dot is hard to beat for its speed but becomes increasingly more difficult to use past that. A scope will allow you to make much more accurate shots but wont be as fast to use. Im gonna go with red dot based on how I use my .22s

I use a combination.... but i'm just trying to be tacticool...

In my opinion a red dot is perfect for the SR-22, but I use mine for action/fast style shooting from 0-100 yards. If you're going for slow/deliberate fire or trying to shoot tight groups obviously a scope would be better. If you decide scope I would go something in the 1-4 or 2-7 range. A big 6-24 would just look rediculous on an SR-22 if you ask me. Someday I am going to try the Vortex Viper PST 1-4 from my XCR on the SR-22, but normally it wears a Vortex Sparc.

+1 on the issue of distance against quick target acquisition

a 16-24x would work if you're trying to hit at 100 yards. I've seen it at the range.

but like the above states, if you're going for CQB style shooting, get a red dot or a reflex sight (reflex gives you a wide fFOV and lets you see your surrounding area, while red dot focuses your FOV into something much narrower), but if you're going for match shooting, then a scope would be what you want.

red dot/magpuls on my SR22, typically only shooting out to 80 yards. 3-9 and 4-16x on my other 10/22's, generaly shooting at nothing less than 100 yards.

Vortex sparc on mine.... I love it, tons of fun.

As the SR22 is more for fun & fast, I think a red dot is a great way to go. As far as scopes I am still looking for the right one for targets. You just have to decide what & how you plan to shoot. Fot pop cans, golf balls & gophers I think a red dot is a hoot.

Red dots are fast, but a low power scope (like a 1-4) is pretty quick and is easier to shoot at distance.

I have tried both and prefer the red dot on mine. If I want to shoot out farther I will just use the 10/22 VLEH I have. I prefer the sr22 for more of a fast target acquisition plinker than a long distance accuracy machine.

A simple 3-9 on mine.

A Will Hayden Custom?

Looks like Red Dot is winning.

while the poll is still running, can you add your Red dot model.. this will help me specifically with my futur SR-22

Sparc

Loving the look of the SPARC, checked one outthe other day and it looked like good value for money.

I have a RedDot on my Marauder, and I love the instant target acquisition I get with it. It's good enough for consistent hits on golf balls at 50 yds., and it's fun to use. I don't plan to shoot at much beyond 50 yds. with the gun, so it's perfect.

For 100 yds., or benchrest-type shooting, I have a 6-18X scope on my Savage boltie..

I use a bushnell TRS-25. Got mine for about $130 shipped brand new on Amazon.ca. I also use a medium profile UTG riser (0.83" i believe).

if you want something that gives you a bit of zoom, take a look at the Lucid HD7 with 2x magnifier from SFRC.
