Realistically you won't need much being as it will be sitting atop a rimfire.

Given the situation, pick something with a reticle you like and that you find comfortable to look through and run with that. You could get into the whole quality and reliability debate, but in this situation most scopes would be fine.

You will be wasting your time and money with a Tasco 3-9 for silhouette shooting, at a minimum I suggest a 4-12 or even a fixed 12power with target turrets that are repeatable so you can have a zero for each animal e.g chicken/40m, pig/60m, turkey/77m, ram/100m. Rimfire silhouette is a discipline in which you will improve and want more magnification and some thing like a cheap Tasco will soon become your handicap, go to a silhouette shoot and you will see that the majority of shooters have Leupolds mounted on their rifles, they have been the benchmark scope for a lot of years :thumbsup: The CZ is a quality rifle that is usually very accurate with most brands of ammo, it deserves decent optics ;)

Edit; forgot to add don't get a scope with any reticule other than a fine duplex or a dot crosshair, you don't want the distraction of some of those rangefinding reticules which tend to be quite busy to look through while standing unsupported attempting to knock over tiny targets ;)

The O.P has asked about a scope for silhouette shooting, reading your advice I take that you do not know anything about this discipline, so in this situation most scopes will not be fine, the cheap ones will always fail and usually in very short time even if on a rimfire :thumbsup:

Granted, I don't shoot silhouette, I'm a hunter, so I'm happy to yield to someone with experience in the discipline. I wouldn't have thought it would have been overly burdensome on the scope, but then when I posted I overlooked that you would constantly be dialling in and out to different zeroes, so I take your point.

Yep. My Vortex Diamondback didn't like me dialing back and forth for windage and range. Was very good for set and forget, but not so much for targets at various zero points or dialing for wind.

If it's for target work, definitely get something that is up to the task of dialing regularly and repeatably returning to the same zero point.

Completely forgot about the target turrets duh.

Thanks guys - most of my time has been outside of comp shooting - although I used to do metallic silhouette, I had the advantage of using a mate's setup or my trusty low grade (but accurate) rimfire with a Leupold VX-II in 3-9.

It's going to take me a bit of time to try and get up in the magnification. Looking through the scope at anything more than 12x and you would swear a chihauha that needed to s**t was taking aim.
