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!

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.

Maybe the product is so reliable the cost of warranty claims is negligible to their bottom line so why not offer it to give some added value to the customer?
