decent low cost 3-9x mil-dot scope for training rifle (.22)

[a0cake]

Take a look at the primary arms 4-14 mil/mil/ffp.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Not sure if you've got one, but if so does it really focus down to 10 yards?

I sometimes shoot 10 Meter offhand competitions (tiny little targets) and have found that various manufacturers' claims of "10 yards to infinity" are often bullshit and 15 yards is the best I can get.

Just curious if you happen to know off the top of your head -- if you'd have to go check please don't bother taking the time.

Yeah, I've got a couple of them on some rimfire's. They work well enough.

From what I've seen, they do come down to 10yds... if not even closer.

Weaver also makes a mil mil 3-10 which is priced around tht range.

It's second focal plane and more money, with no parallax adjustment. Would make a horribly bad rimfire optic.

What optic is ffp that's under 400 bucks? Thats actually worth owning. Do you need a ffp reticle on a 22? will you be engaging movers at extreme diatances? Also that have a mil reticle and mil adjustments? I use the same scope on my 22 and have no problem shooting 10 yards to 200 yards. Horribly bad? Not quite sure about that.

So you're advocating an optic with a parallax permanently set to 100 - 150yds as a good 22lr optic?

Use whatever makes you happy. Keep handing out that advice, and those taking it will learn for themselves.

For $250 and under I would get a Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x.

For $300 you could get a Weaver Tactical 3-10x40, which is mil/mil (Midway USA special model, on sale) and has pretty good glass, or a SWFA SS fixed 10x, which has adjustable focus down to 10 yards.

For around $400 there is the Burris MTAC 3.5-10x42, which has adjustable focus, surprisingly good glass, mil/mil and a G2 mildot reticle.

The cheapest FFP I would bother with is the SWFA SS 3-9x42, which is quite a good scope. For $600.

Of those I think the fixed power SS makes the most sense for a .22 trainer.

Probably gonna get some hate for this one... but.. it's a .22 - unless you're doing competitive shooting, a BSA or UTG would probably be more than enough. With all the money you save you can buy 5000+ rounds o' plinking ammo and some popper targets.

I would personally go with the PA scope. I use PA optics on all of my 22LRs...

Mueller 4-14 APT is a great scope for the money. I run one on my CZ452.

The ability to crank it up to 14x helps spotting little 22 cal holes at 100 yards.

Mildot reticle and 1/4 MOA adjustments are not a good combo on a center fire rifle, but I have found no issues on a 22LR.
