Nikon p series rimfire

[jfdodge]

Has anyone used the rimfire nikon p-22? I just jailed a ruger 10/22 today and I'm thinking about mounting that on it. The bdc reticle has me intrigued. It will be used for ground squirrel hunting mostly.

I have one 3x9x40 BDC. It's a nice scope for the money. My gun outshoots my scope though. For a stock 10/22 it's a good choice.

What are better options for precision shooting

You can of course spend almost a infinite amount on optics. But the Nikons are nice for the more than fair price in my opinion.

Should suit 99% of peoples use on a rimfire..

I have one 3x9x40 BDC. It's a nice scope for the money.

I have the same setup on a 10/22. Seems to be the perfect marriage.
Have been very pleased with the clarity of this scope.

What are better options for precision shooting

Tough choice as there are so many options out there. All I shoot is for precision and have been around the block with a lot of different scopes. First is the budget, that sets what's available for your use. I prefer scope reticles that have a smallish dot for target shooting. I currently have:

1. Weaver T-24 with 1/8 MOA dot, cost about $400
2. Mueller Eraticator 8.5-25x50 with a 3/16 MOA dot cost $249 (my choice for 50-100yd)
3. Nikon 3-9x40 EFR AO with a slightly larger dot than the Weaver. Cost $180

The Weaver is the clearest, best built scope but will be sold as I have problems picking up the dot on the reticle from time to time and causes my old eyes to strain when shooting. I will replace it with another Eraticator.

The Nikon is a great little scope, dot size is perfect for me, the scope is as clear as the Weaver, resettable turrets. Down side is that its adjustments are 1/2 MOA elevation/windage @ 100yds. So far this is not an issue as I use it only for 25yd and occasional 50yd target work. It would be a good scope for varmint/squirrel hunting as well.

I think the next step up from the ones I listed would be a Leupold but for my $$$ and shooting skills the Leupolds are a waste of money for me.

Unless a person is really, really into competition shooting I think Weaver, Nikon and Mueller are good choices for the $$$. If possible look thru the scope before buying.
Final note, this is only my opinion based on my experience with the listed scopes.

I have the fixed and 3x9 on my AR's and I love them.

I have the p22 2-7 with fast action turrets. It's probably the best scope that I have on any of my 22 rifles. My other scope is vortex diamondback and vortex crossfire 2. I still have to stay that the nikon still have a better glass.

I am very happy with my Leupold VX-1 2x7 on my 10-22.

[Citadelgrad87]

Leup vari x III here, happy with the scope, but shopping Stoney point or other options to make the turrets more functional.
