How much scope is too much?

[HoneyBadger]

I think a 3-9 is perfect magnification for a stock .22LR... but what do I know?

I'm thinking so too, but pdogs are pretty freaking small..

I have 6.5-20x atop my .22LR and I rarely shoot it past 12x (out to 300yds).

I know that you didn't ask for a recommendation but I will however say that, if I was looking to purchase a new scope for a .22LR, I would seriously consider this one: http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-12x42-Tactic...pe-P53714.aspx

Real Pdogs are bigger than the steel dogs we shoot every month at the WHAC meet. October 20th if, my calendar is right. Cysoto can correct me if I'm wrong. Bring your Savage and scope. Nothing like a little healthy competition out to 225 yards

I have 3-9X40 on one of my rifles zerod at 50 yards, it's a nikon with BDC designed for .22LR if you can handle the kinda crowded reticle it's nice to have references of different distances in your scope.

I think Hoser has a USO scope on his 40x. I thought he posted that before.

Not a USO. It is a S&B 5-25. I have it zeroed at 50, but have come up data every 10 yards out to 125 and every 5 yards out to 200.

Below is 60 shots inside 3/8 on a International Smallbore Target at 50 meters. All but 8 were inside 1/4.

If you really get fanatic about the .22 lr you might wanna take look at this site. A lot of 10/22 info as well as guys putting ridiculous size scopes on their rifles, at least thats my opinion. I think a 3-9X40 is plenty of magnification for the average person then it just depends on what you're willing to spend but what ever makes you happy run with it.

Hoser, that is AWESOME! What is that setup you got there?

I just got my first rimfire bolt last weekend (Savage 93R17) and its a friggin blast! And that Accutrigger stuff is tits!

Anyone need some varmint extermination?
