I always find my 22 rifles as a good platform to try out new types of optics, basically because if it turns out to be ordinary glass, it is still on a rifle that rarely is shot out past 50-100m. My CZ 515 has a cheap bushnell 6-18 rimfire scope, to mimic the set up I have on my WFA1L which has a leupold mark ar 6-18.
My CZ455 is more of a bench rifle, but is evolving into somewhat of a prs rifle, and now has a Bushnell Forge 4.5-27x50 FFP (that I still haven't had a chance to shoot with yet, only fitted it recently), but that is the 5th scope it has had on it, as that is where I experiment a bit with different brands and set ups.
Don't be afraid to try something cheap on a 22. Don't aim to by garbage, but if your not needing to see 1 inch bulls at 500m, try out some different brands.
