BDC Retcle for .22 LR

[fockell]

Guys, I am looking for a scope for my .22 LR. I am not really intersted in BDC turrets, just want a reticle that has holds out to 200 yards or so. I am currently running a 3-9 accupoint, but has no holds, just a triangle chevron.
Thanks, Brandon

A regular Mil-Dot works great with 22lr as a BDC...Zero at 50. 75 yards is 1 mil. 100 yards is 2 mils.

I use mil-dots to hold over on all my 22s, air or powder. the hawke ballistic software will get you close on your hold overs. you can zero in the yardages at the range.

Bear in mind as well that not all .22lr ammunition shoots and impacts the same, mil-dots give you the flexibility in that the holdovers arent arbitrarily set by the scope mfg. and that you can map out your poi for various loads on paper for reference later.
The Weaver 3-10x40 mil/mil and the bushnell 10x40 mil/mil are nice scopes to consider for the $.

Have one on a 10/22 - works pretty good with bulk pack 40g 1250 fps ammo. Keep in mind this isn't a bolt action shooting subs accuracy but for plinking it works and have smoked a sage rat or two at 150. Its also FFP so the hold work on any power, bonus ...

Looks pretty good. How would you rate the clarity? Could you compare it to a leupold vxII ?
THANKS

not a leupold guy so can't really say. Clarity is decent, on 9x can get a bead on a sage rat at 150 yards easy enough. The glass MUCH better than the bushnell sportview that it replaced.

Abso-frickin-lutely! Rapid REticle is the only way to go...IMO. Check out my writeup and 2nd-shot 250-yd. coke can connection from custom Ruger Charger handgun right here--

The optical quality is second to none i've used so far. When i was shooting PD's at long range couple weeks ago i would just watch the mirage through the scope and when it was horizontal (~10 mph full value), i was able to make connections 40-50% of the time out to ~250 yds.

Another nice thing about the optic is the low-profile target turret for addtl. comeups beyond the 200-yd. stadia.

Even though this system is calibrated for high velocity loads, I wonder if you could get this to work with subsonic for suppressed use.

Re: BDC Retcle for .22 LR

It would certainly work OK u'd just have to recal. the reticle and put a dope sticker in a Butler Creek scope cap cover. I had this optic on an AR-15 for awhile and just recald the reticle to the trajectory of my load.

Re: BDC Retcle for .22 LR

Fixed 6x with 40mm objective or go with the 3-9x32mm ?
I am leaning towards the fixed 6 just because I make up that it would be more robust.
Thanks

Re: BDC Retcle for .22 LR

Went with the fixed 6. Very pleased with how well it works a 200 yards.
Thanks, Brandon
