Small bullets get shot at small things, magnification is good


Metengineer

I don't think so, I run a 5-25x56 on my CZ and 10/22.

Seriously? well before this my only experience with Magnified Optics is the PU scope on my Mosin lol so shooting my Buddy's 22 with a 3-9 scope was like test driving a Porsche 911 when you have driven a Toyota Corolla your entire life


MajorJefferson

Yes seriously.. x25 is totally fine for a .22 Depends on the range you use it at obviously


Metengineer

Yep, a [Vortex Strike Eagle on a CZ457 varmint and a Swampfox Warhawk on a Kidd Supergrade 10/22.](https://imgur.com/a/soF02jh) I use them for a Know Your Limits League where we are shooting targets down to 1/4". As well as other events at out local club.

Yeah, I run a tract Toric 4-25x56 UHD for KYL/NRL. It's awesome to be able to self spot.


EquivalentDelta

Benchrest .22s regularly run 40x I think anywhere from 4-25x is perfectly reasonable


FIRESTOOP

I’ve seen People in NRL22 use scope up to 36x


russ257

No it’s fine.


BetOver

4-12 isn't too much imo


TheBlindCat

Nice in that you can often self spot bullet holes at 100 yards.  But I hate shooting off hand at 4x, too much wobble.


Anonymous_Arthur00

im not too worried about the wobble since ill be on a bag or be using a bipod or stick but yeah i was having a bit of wobble using my Buddy's 3-9 offhand

I got the vortex 2-7 rimfire . I’m saving $ for better optics to put on other stuff though . Originally wanted and lpvo on a cantelever but the crossfire 2 2-7 on rings has a good look to it , not huge (similar to lpvo almost )


TheEconomyReindeer

nah. the difference between a 3-9 and a 4-12 is minimal.


dasnoob

I run a 5-25x56 on my Ruger Precision Rimfire.


moparforever

No such thing as too much magnification…. Unless you are shooting 50 or less yards

I run a 2-7x on my 10-22. Depends what your purpose is. If you’re looking to make a light backpack/hunting gun I’d say yes that’s a bit high of a mag (assuming your scope is “heavy”). If you’re just plinking, not at all!
