What kind of scope do you use?

[monkeybutler]

Just find an old Leupold VX II or III. They are cheap and nice enough.

I generally keep irons on long guns, but Leupold has never been the wrong call on a scope.

I would look at the Holosun DRS-TH Thermal Reflex Sight. The night vision version will be a bit cheaper. Not yet available to the public, though, and not magnified, but we're talking about a 22LR.

Edit: Looks like the NV models started shipping out to dealers a week or so ago, and the thermals will be shipped in the next week or two.

Oh cool, I better start saving.

I run a Nikon 3x9 on my Ruger 10-22. It'll get 1-inch groups at 100 yards consistently.

Also use the same optic on my 308, keeps things simple...

Counterpoint: all of those guns have differing capabilities, and using the same optics across all of them creates a potential for using the wrong dope.

I apply optics based on the gun's capabilities, and scope of engagement. For a bare bones .22 AR, red dot, maybe with a magnifier, or an LPVO in 1-4x, or 1-6x. No risk of out scoping the gun.

Every rifle I have has the same capability that I have.

I bought a M & P 15-22, I am thinking about putting a scope on, that has day and night vision
has anyone or does anyone have a setup on their firearm, if so what brand do you have?

Hola all. I've got an extra LPVO that I don't need. Firefield RapidStrike 1-6x LPVO with illuminated reticle. Comes with an FDE mount. $60

It is intellectual dishonesty to say a .22LR AR has the same capability as a .308 unless that capability is near zero.

Luckily, I don't have a .22LR AR.

I see what you did there.

The .22lr are almost always used at full magnification and sighted in at 50yds, any adjustments are done by eye.

The 308, gets sighted at 100yds and then just hold overs..

The mighty 50 was treated recently with a leupold mark 5 HD. Buy once, cry once. Outstanding scopes. But my Christensen 6.5 mpr has a vortex viper pst that has never left me hanging either. Just get what you can afford and have fun!

 

[Val1884]

Sig Sauer buck master or whiskey series..I haven't broken either yet. Not even in my 338. Broke a few Leupolds an every vortex. But I'm a little rough on stuff.

The day after I got the one on my fifty, i knocked it off my tailgate and it landed upside down on the logging road. My tailgate is about 4.5' off the ground in my super duty. And that's a heavy gun. But it still works lol. Just real world testing it!

No way! If you channel you inner saiga308 you too can shoot .22s at glass bottles and garbage in the wilderness at long range.

I'll agree with what others have said… don't underestimate the value of the scope when it comes to being effective in the field (competition or hunting) I'd rather have one or two great scopes and switch them around on rifles depending on my needs. Get the best optics you can afford. Keep an open mind on brands of you're looking to maximize value.

My new favorite is the Zeiss V4 Conquest just do some math and dial it up just ordered another one and their warranty is outstanding !
