@Reno911,I ended up going with the Primary Arms. I'm very happy with it. I was concerned about it at the price and wasn't sure if I would like the fixed 6x.
I actually really like the fixed power. The reticle is awesome to boot.
Quickly zeroed at 50 yards, only a bit low out of the box.
Shooting 50 yards is very intuitive with the horseshoe reticle and dot. The range estimations worked perfectly as I was hitting steel targets at 100, 150, and 220 yards using the designated hold overs.
This is quickly becoming one of my new favorites.
I only wish I can find more of this Remington Match EPS ammo. It was crazy accurate in a 10-22 that I sold, and is stupid good in this rifle too. Mini mags did great too. 10 shots in a 1" with one flier.

I have a red dot on my plinker 22. Super low mount. Absolutely fun with a plate rack or dualing tree.My experience has demonstrated that 'better scopes at longer distances' than the 50 yard mark, gives me considerably better groups regardless of ammo.
I was absolutely elated the first time with a 17 hmr my group of 5 was less than a half-dime cluster at 100 yards. Scope was a moderate quality 6-24x44 tasco. That smaller than little-finger nail group became an expected rather than the unusual.
For closer in than 50 yards in rapid fire exercises, I prefer a decent 3mm red dot, if 'group size' is less important than 'clock time' recorded.
For all around plinking with my take-down 22, I like the Nikon P223 3x, as it is crystal clear at the conditions I typically use, as well as fitting mounted in the bag.
If you want to get together and look through it let me know.@Reno911,
Any issues with the BDC when using standard velocity ammunition? That's the only thing holding me back from purchasing one.
I'm still kicking myself for not getting the 1-6x .22LR ACSS when they had their blemish sale.
