22 Scope

[Skillet]

OK guys, I want to get my kid a scope for his 22. Went to the Webster Dick's this morning. They have 2 that I was looking at. One was a fixed 4X mag Bushnell, the other was a BSA adjustable, it was called a "Sweet 22" I'm leaning towards the BSA. Both are the same price, $59.99. Anybody care to weigh in on which one of these might be a better product?

I have the BSA sweet 17 on my 17hmr. I heard a lot of great reviews of the sweet 22 while I was working in the lodge at Dick's.

It's a good straight forward scope, just don't trust the adjustable barrel feature. There's a lot more involved in accuracy than just twisting an adjustment knob as I'm sure you know

[Skillet]

Thanks for the feedback. I noticed the adjustment thing on there too, it came with 3 different adjustment knobs, one for each different grain weight 22 bullet. Seems a little stupid. I like the scope though. Makes me feel better that you like yours.

Skillet...I had a BSA Sweet 17 on my 17 HMR also....It wasn't a GREAT scope optically, compared to my Leupolds, but it wasn't a BAD scope considering the $$. It worked fine for what I used it for, a squirrel rifle. I suspect it would serve you well for your .22..

Now if it were for a big game rifle that might get rough use in bad weather conditions, I'd say go with better quality, for dependability. I doubt that you will be using your .22 in the wildnerness in a monsoon, however..<grin>...

If you would opt for a used scope,I have a Tasco fixed 4x32 made in Japan#663A that has heavey duplex with fine center hairs,not in perfect condition,but not too far from it.I might even have the mounts/rings and screws for it. Just pay shipping.I may be able to send a pic or 2 if ya need to see it.

Thanks guys. LOL Pygmy, I never have much luck chasing them in a monsoon, I am counting on the next tsunami tho, maybe it'll wash some by me. Single shot, I wish I'd talked to you last night. I just got back from Dick's, bought the BSA. Thankyou for the offer though, and thankyou for your USAR service. Kurt

I haven't had any luck with Bushnells. Too much parallax at any range. Make sure if you get a scope for the .22 that it is adjusted for parallax at 50 yds or so, not at 100 yds like a regular big game type scope would be. If you could pick up a used Leupold, you'd have a top rated scope, lifetime warranty and they will change the parallax setting for you for a nominal fee.

Easiest way is to connect your iPod touch to your computer then copy the picture over to your computer and upload it from there.

[WNYBuckHunter]

Or just get the Photobucket App and upload it to there, then copy the IMG link to your post here.
