Wheelr, Neckbeard... anyone that knows anything about scopes... I want something nice, my budget is a few hundred bucks so I was looking into the Leupold Rimfire Scopes, specifically the VX-II 3-9x33mm Rimfire EFR. Seems like a nice scope.
I'm also very interested in the VX-3L 3.5-10x50mm Riflescope but it is OVERKILL for sure. Is there any drawback to having a scope of this awesomeness on a 10/22? I figure, if I can afford it, why not. I can always stick it on something bigger when I get it but for now I might as well go all out. Unless there's a solid reason not to. Too much power? Too awesome? Help me out guys.
wheelr:
I haven't looked at scopes lately so I'm not familiar with any new models. I agree with your line of thinking though. If you're willing to spend a bit more for a nicer model you can always put it on a bigger rifle.
The biggest difference I see between the two scopes mentioned, besides the rimfire/centerfire deal, is the size of the objective lens (light gathering ability). Also, if I was buying a scope that might be going on a large caliber rifle it would have "tactical" turrets for ease of adjustment. Either way, Leupold makes quality optics and I hear they have great customer service.

This is for you, Couch.
.22 holes are small and hard to see at 100 yards, so you either get a high powered scope, or a low powered one with a high powered spotting scope.
First off lets get this straight. The first one or two numbers are the power, the number after the x is the size in millimeters of the front of the scope. The larger the front...the more light gets in so the clearer and easier it is to see. The higher the power the further you can see, but a scope with shit glass and high power is not a clear image.
You should get a Nikon scope in 3-9x40 a prostaff would be in your range. Nikon glass is realllllly nice...leupold is nice but for a 3x9 the nikon is comparable.
WIth 9 power at 100 yards you see 11 feet...so .22 holes are still kind of hard to see. Unless you use shoot and see targets that kind of "explode" the yellow color.
So you either spend more money and get a nikon in 2.5x10, or you get the 3x9x40 or 50 and use shoot n c targets.
I would get the prostaff in 3-9x40 and call it a day, you will be satisfied with Nikon glass for sure.
