You may remember my question about optics (Scope for the Rifle...or the future?) - well, I decided on going with the Nikon Target EFR 3-9x40 for my 10/22 and to get a different optic for my .308 build (to be completed at a later date).
I didn't participate in a Speed Steal event that came to pass (Rimfire Challenge) because I only had a bolt action .22 at the time...but I'm keen on participating in a future such event...and it'd be my first. I got the Nikon 3-9 because I want to push my limits (and the .22's) by going out to 150 - 200 yards...but this seems like overkill for a speed event, no?
Are you guys, who have done these events, using scopes like the one I've got or something geared toward faster target acquisition (irons...dots...)?
Additionally, I'm thinking about getting a can for the 10/22. However, I don't know even where to begin. The .22 is already incredibly quiet and I'm usually shooting subsonic ammo as well...so do you judge the can by decibel rating alone or some combo of factors?
Thanks as always!
