Scopes

My budget is round about R1500, its just a .22
These should be more than enough?

Re: Scopes
How big is the rat?
Wuhan rat? Or Karoo rat? :-)

Re: Scopes
You're going to struggle to see holes in paper at 9x or 12x (I have a 4-12x on my .22 and I can't see holes at 100m, unless the paper is blank and the target is a dot)

Re: Scopes
Pick a scope with an exposed target style turret and a suitable crosshair.
I think the NRL/PRS rimfire style shoots are going to become popular.

Re: Scopes
To see .22 holes at 50m I have a Nikko 5-20 x 50mm on mine. At further range you will have to look at 25-30x magnification.

Re: Scopes

Re: Scopes
I went with a 3-9 as I wanted to keep my setup as lightweight as possible and most of my shooting is done 50m and in. I do agree seeing the holes on the range though is an issue . If I used it less in the field and more on the range I would have chosen something else.

Re: Scopes
For the times when you want to see the hole on target at a further distance, consider looking at purchasing a spotting scope later.
