Ackleyman told me many years ago that 4-16x is a much better choice than 4-12x and as usual, i've found his advice to be spot on.Have heard so much about the duce, but wonder why it disappeared. Actually, i'm in the market to go to 20x and move the 4-16x to another deuce. i shoot conservatively and haven't taken any shots past 340, but this caliber is able to a bit do more with small varmints, and 400 would be in my comfort range for PD's in the right situations.įor the above reasons you might do well to consider more power if the rifle is accurate, which is why i would suggest stepping up to 16x. The Bushnell 4-16x Elite 4200 is very nice glass and a best buy, but no longer made. i've found that for crow sized varmints more power is extremely handy and less than 16x just isn't enough for groundhog head shots past 300 yards. 222 won me over a decade ago and has proven itself with one shot kills on groundhogs out to 340 yards (40gr BlitzKing over Reloder 7). Recommendations? I am leaning towards the 3-9x33 or 4-12x40. Would actually like less than 4x on the low end - much reduced FOV compared to the others, but 12x would be nice on prairie dogs. I know they don’t make these anymore, but you can still pick them up used. Kinda big, but still light enough for a 527. Very nice, and price not too bad on this model. Every one I’ve had has been great and easy to look through. How is low light performance? Are there rings available to mount it low or could a guy just as well go 40mm on the objective? Would seem to be perfect size, maybe lacking a little magnification. I don’t want a real big scope, and I won’t be dialing windage and elevation. Weighing off between field of view, magnification and size. I am struggling a bit with what kind of scope to put on it.
I have a 22-250 for coyotes, so this rifle would would be for smaller critters and also as a back up prairie dog rifle behind a 204 Ruger CZ 527. This would basically be a walk-around varminter, Knock-around rifle.
I am thinking about buying a CZ 527 in 222.
