Hello guys need ur help as I’m new to the game. So I’m noticing that the 22lr rifles I use with high power scopes 6-24 or 5-25 even 6-35 seem to do better than mid power scopes. A friend gave me a 1/8 moa 3-15x50 ffp scope that goes down to 15 yards. Anyways I really struggled when I’m doing adjustment from 50-200yards that I just used the hold over reticle marks. What is this scope supposed to be used for? Hunting? Also since the reticle is faint I crank up the magnification to 12x but it’s still hard to see the tiny dot in the reticle. If I’m just shooting 50 yards only I have no issues at all. Should I buy a high power scope for this rifle like my other 22s? This is a tikka t1x with 16inch barrel. Again it’s bullet on bullet at 50 yards and at 100 yards I have to do so many clicks up and waste so much ammo to resight the scope. What are ur thoughts?

Many of us have higher power scopes on the 22s than the centerfire rigs. My 22 rig wears a ZCO 8-40. We are using First Focsl Plane (F1 or FFP) where the reticle gets magnified with power adjustment. On Second Focal Plane scopes the Reticle remains a constant size, which makes it harder to judge how much to adjust.
No idea what scope you are talking about so no idea what it’s made for. Just told us the power and that it’s 1/8 moa. Is it SFP? FFP? If you can’t see the reticle then you are answering your own question. Also does it have illumination? Try turning it on.
There should be no waste of ammo going from 50 to 100. You are zeroed at 50 and just look at what your 100 yard data is and dial it on. That simple. No ammo wasting.
I will try the illumination. Yes the scope is FFP.
Also I I’m gonna sound stupid but what is looking at the data at 100? Do you mean a ballistic data app?? If it is are there simpler ones. I guess what may be confusing me is the 1/8 moa and needing more clicks compared to 1/2 or 1/4. I gotta stop buying all different scopes and stick to only one and get used to it either moa or mrad as well.

You need to understand what the bullet drop is at 100 yards so you can alter you elevation settings ( either dial with the scope turret or hold the scope center off the target). What makes the MRAD ( mil) convenient is that a spotter can call a value and have it match your scope.
