22lr scope recommendations

[u/COBernard]

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to mount a scope on my Savage B22G bolt-action .22 LR. It’ll be a dual-purpose rifle for plinking and small game hunting (grouse and rabbits). I’d prefer a scope with a 50-yard parallax or an adjustable parallax.

I’ve looked at the Athlon Neos scopes, but they seem a bit heavy. The Leupold VX-Freedom 2–7x33 is a little on the expensive side for me. I might consider a Vortex Crossfire HD as well.

I’m open to suggestions!

Friends don’t let friends buy Vortex, overpriced for what you’re getting

Dante has their Bushnell’ on sale and a 3-9x40mm Prime would be a good choice

Everything of quality in Canada is absurdly overpriced. At least with Vortex you’re getting the lifetime warranty, no questions asked. Worth the price IMO.

Having to bring up the warranty with Vortex is a reason to not buy Vortex, if everyone knows about the warranty it would infer they break often correct? I’d rather have dependability and glass clarity as the oft mentioned perks of a scope not the warranty, Bushnell’ IronClad is the same and you get a better scope in the bargain.

Great price on that Bushnell prime for sure. But I can’t seem to find much information about the parallax. I’m assuming it’s set at 100 yds?

I have a cheap Simmons 3-9x40 on the rifle right now and it drives me crazy. The reticle moving at closer ranges is very tiring on the eye.

Everything is overpriced in Canada, but when it comes to firearms and optics we are really getting f’d.

I currently have that same Simmons on my tm22 and at first I thought it was okay for the money but after about a thousand rounds I’m over it lol. Eyebox is tiny lol and it’s not super clear even at 100y.

Potentially?

I’ve one and I can say it’s not overly noticeable to me. Better quality glass helps noticeably
