Rifle Scopes Scope for a Savage Mark II BTVS 22lr

[dmbaile2]

I just bought a used Savage Mark II BTVS based on the good reviews it has as a target rifle.

I am trying to get a scope ordered before my rifle arrives however I can’t decide on a model.

Here are my criteria:

*I want to have the ability to shoot out to 300 yards so I need a scope with high MOA adjustment or a scope and mount combination that will allow for long range MOA adjustments. Additionally, due to the close 50yd range plinking I will need paralax focus as well (i think).

*I want the scope to have either a mil-dot or BDC reticle.

*And i want the scope to be threaded for a sun shade.

I am looking at the Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14x40 but at $300 it's about $100 out of my price range. I would like to spend around $200, give or take a little.

Two things you should know, this will be a paper shooter only gun not a varmint killer. And I live in AZ, so I don’t see the brightness of any given optic metering that much to me since it is perpetually sunny here.

Mueller APT with DIP 25moa rail is what I use, and it works well.

bushnell 3200 10X should be about 200 and has enough elevations to get close to 300 yards. You could also get sig. zee rings to get extra elevation or a 20 moa base from EGW of DIP. however this will put you over your $200 limit.

the bushnell 10x40 doesnt have parrallax adjustment, but if you are shooting 100 and beyond most of the time, you probably wont need it.

I never shot out to 300 yards, but when I had a Mark II, I put one of the Center Point 4-16x40 from Walmart on it and while it's not the best glass in the world, it tracked well and worked well for a .22 rifle. I liked it for this application, but I don't know that I'd use it on a centerfire.

On my tricked out 10/22 I stuck a Sweet 22 on it and with the right turret dial, it was accurate past 300. I have upgraded the rifle several times now over the past 6 years and I am currently in the process of upgrading again but I see no reason on changing the scope out because it has worked that well.
