Buy recommendations 22lr scope recommendations

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!

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.

That’s a ridiculous argument. Vortex is well known for their quality, especially on their higher-end optics. By your logic, any manufacturer that offers a lifetime warranty must break often? You just told me that Bushnell has a comparable warranty, so wouldn’t that also apply to them?

Vortex Fanboys of which you would be one, are oft to preach of their Warranty as if it’s Jesus Christ on Roller Skates coming in to save the optics world, when it’s relatively common. I’m sure they make some decent rifle scopes but for their Razor line on the Observation side they’re enormously overpriced for what they deliver. With eye watering price tags on their spotting scopes and binoculars they consistently fail to compete with the Big Four Kowa, Leica,Zeiss and Swarovski. If all I can expect to get from Vortex for my dollars in is some bro squawking at me about the warranty, I’ll spend my money elsewhere.

The RG3 6-36 is among the most popular optics for PRS and long range shooting. I think you're just a hater.
