Ok what kind of scope do i need to get to go on my two custom 10/22s for the 100yrd shoots? and do ya ll think i need a scope base with like 15 moa to get my bullets on target?

This seems to be the scope most shooters prefer, I think.

Go over to the "rimfire" section. There are a couple of threads that discuss this in depth.

Most do seem to have a problem getting enough elevation to be on target at 100 yds. Shimming the rear mount is a common and effective (also cheap) solution.

ok thanks do those bsa from natchez shooters supply look clear and do they look good on a rifle like a 10/22

 

[captain-03]

... at least 20X IMHO!!

 

[shoeshooter]

Of course "looks" are subjective, but I think they look like any other scope. Check out the pictures from the two matches we've had so far, you'll see a bunch of stuff, including several BSA's, both 24x & 32X.

They're plenty clear for what we're doing. Some like around 20-24X, some like 28-32X. For very few extra $$ you can go bigger and them dial it back if lower power works better for you. Pretty hard to go bad wrong for well under $100 delivered.

Read all the threads in the rimfire section since about mid-November. You'll be able to come to a decision you'll be comfortable with.

thanks man for the info

I use the BSA 8-32x44. I set it on 24x for the 100 yard matches. I also use a 20MOA base.

How much did you give for yours and where did you get it? i am willing to buy a used one if you have one for sale by chance.

I have a shooters edge 6x24x50 on my mkii.

 

[jbpmidas]

The scope I got from Natchez Shooter's Supply and the base is a BKL from Pyramid Air.

 

[amorgan]

so i take it that natchez shooters supply is prolly the cheapest around

 

[M1GarandFan]

Generally they are, but it never hurts to shop around for the best price.

 

[shoeshooter]

Natchez is still at $69 on the BSA 8-32 plus about $12 shipping and that irritating $ .75 "insurance" charge. Make sure you get the target reticle. I also have a couple of the BKL mounts, not cheap but very sturdy and easy to install. Get the cantilever D7 drop compensated one and you won't have to shim. Gives you lots of adjustment. They work equally well on both 3/8 and 11mm dovetails.

Shoe -- what reticle you got in the one you have?

 

[shoeshooter]

What they call "target", basically NOT the Mil-Dot.

Do the reticles seem "thick" to you?

 

[shoeshooter]

No, not to me, but I don't have much to compare it to. I'm happy with it, but could be I just don't know any better

 

[jbpmidas]

The reticle is not thick and it has an 1/8" dot to focus on. I like it!

The fine crosshair with target dot is the way to go for the type shooting we are doing. I liked the target dot of the BSA so well that I got a Bushnell 4200 with the target dot reticle replacement for my Kimber. I also have the same scope ordered for my Savage MK II TR and I have a Nikon Monarch with the target dot reticle coming in timorrow for my Savage BAS-K 308. Sounds like I "might like the target dot reticles".
