I do like my TRS-1, but if you can live without variable power I'd consider a SWFA Super Sniper. Pick you magnification. They do 4X, 6X, 10X, 12X, 16X, and 20X. I bought a 20X for a precision AR and like it. I liked it enough that I just bought a 16X for my soon-to-be-finished 40X. It should show up Monday or Tuesday. They are $300. Glass is decent and they have a reputation for tracking. I haven't put mine on the test fixture yet, but I'm hoping to get to that this weekend sometime.

The TRS-1 is acceptable glass. I checked tracking on mine and checked the reticle subtensions, and it was spot on. The clicks feel like crap but seem to work. Here's the real problem, and it's become almost a show stopper for me. The reticle is calibrated at 10X, not max power of 16X. It's amazingly stupid. It didn't matter to me early in my shooting journey because I wasn't using the reticle for wind holds. Now that I've seen that particular light, it's a source of constant aggravation.

In fact, it pissed me off enough the last time I shot it I'm considering selling it and buying yet another Super Sniper.
Thanks for the tips, decide that at $42 shipped, I'll just get the DIP 25moa rail and use that only. I'm probably okay without variable, never had a scope without it but I had already considered getting a SWFA SS scope for my .308 build, so if I got it for my 22LR rifle, which I'm using to be a better long distance shooter, then I'll be very familiar with the scope when I get another for my .308 build (or just pull this one onto it). I was looking at either the 12x or 16x, do they both have the 120moa internal adjustment that I've been seeing people claim? That value isn't listed on the product page (it just says "Mils" next Elevation/Windage Adjustment).

And this is what I mean with this rifle, I really want to LOVE it (its beautiful, love how it shoots at 50yds, today my tightest group was just under 1/2", I could barely make out all 3 holes). But every time I take it out and try to zero the scope in the middle of the travel using those burris rings, it doesn't work the way it should and I end up taking the scope off 3-5 times per session before I give up and go home. In the past 1.5yrs I've owned that scope, it has only truly been zeroed today at 100yds. The rest of the time as soon as I got home, I took the scope off to change out the inserts since they didn't do jack.
