Scope advice for a 22-250

[Jeff]

Hi All
Any advice on what scopes are out there for a 22-250

[Blr243]

Spend enough money to suit the range this cal is capable off. And I think you will get better advice if u submit more criteria

[straightshooter]

Is the rifle lightweight or relatively heavy?
Will you walk around with the rifle a lot?
Will you use it from a vehicle?
What game are you likely to mostly pursue and when?
You may be surprised at just how useful and handy a good quality fixed 6x38/40/42 or a 3-9x40 scope may be on a hunting rifle compared to the massive contraptions that seem to be "de rigueur" these days.

Nightforce, Khales, S&B, and Leupold makes scopes that will allow you to hit stuff with your 22/250.

Can I ask why would someone go for a fixed magnification scope over a variable? Are they cheaper?

any variable magnification scope that can go up to 20x or 25x will do the job fine since the 22-250 can reach out depends if your doing target or hunting only aswell if it was only hunting max i would go is up to a 18x variable

A fixed magnification may offer better optics for the price. If you know exactly what you need there is no point changing the magnification. just like a lot of scope that doesn't have any adjustable turrets. It is only zeroed for one distance and after that its up to you to make educated guess at holdovers.

And variables are a pain in the arse....

I agree that if you want a low power scope use a fixed 4 or 6x, you would do as well with one as a 2 to 7x or even 3 to 9x. If you have a 5 to 20x you can go hunting with it on 5x but if you want to snipe a a warren you can wind it up to 20x.

For me if I have a 3 to 9x I leave it on 9x all the time. I might as while have a fixed 8x.

Pretty much all of them will go on a 22-250...

Will you walk around with the rifle a lot?
Will you use it from a vehicle?
What game are you likely to mostly pursue and when?.

And how good is your eyesight...?

Here's a couple...
