Hardly. Expect about a 7 mil drop from a 50 yard zero.
I use a SWFA 10xHD with great success on a 22LR.

im gonna get a 3200 mil/mil for my 10/22 so no its not a silly idea. the mils may not correspond to the same as a big bore but its all relative. they are reference marks and once you learn how they correspond to the 22 round you choose, its gonna be really nice. at least in my mind

I dunno I just put a 5 - 25 USO with a H-37 on a rebuilt Remmy 541XR. It seems to fit just fine
Cheers,
Doc

I started with a Nikon buckmaster 4.5-14 mildot on my 40X, then slapped on a USO SN3 1.8-10 with a mildot, moved that to my Mk12 upper and put a ST10 with Gap Mil reticle on it. All have worked great.

I've got a Bushnell 10x mil/mil scope on my .17 and kind of wish it had a little more power!

The only reason I don't like a FFP mil dot on my 22lr trainer is that you are shooting paper and at high mag it will obscure the tiny .22 inch X ring you'll be trying to hit.
That said I run a SS 10X on mine because it's what was in the safe w/o a home.
If it's what you have mount it up and shoot it.
Eventually I'd like to get a T-24 or a T-36 but for now the SS works.

For some of my 22LR I have used the Bushnell Tactical line, Weaver Tactical line, Vortex PST, and Leupold Mark 4 10x and 16x. I know a few guys that have Nightforce on their 22LR rifles.
There are a lot of great choices to go with.

I plan to the SWFA SS 16x with the mil-quad reticle on my 22 to match my .260 w/ the SWFA SS HD 5-50 mil-quad reticle.

Do you realize you are asking guys that have $3000 plus scopes on their 22 trainers?
400 yards with a 22 is great practice, and, yes, it will require a graduated reticule or adjustable turrets.

There is a lot of drop in a .22lr. Ranging is even more critical than with a fast high powered cartridge. Unless all you do is shoot targets at a fixed range than I think its a bit silly not to use a scope capable of ranging. The bigger problem is finding a good ranging scope that will also focus close for indoor matches.... Well, one that isn't a $3,000 March that is.
