There must be something wrong with your Brno Model 2 or you aren't using the right ammo.

You basically start at x12 and work your way up the magnification as your skills improve. Plenty of the guys I shoot with use x20 and one even has his set on x30! You gotta remember the chickens are less than 3” across the widest part; bloody small for standing offhand.
Also there is a 200m rimfire event routinely held at Silverdale called “fly on the wall”; you aim for a blowfly target at that distance! Do you think a x12 would be “overkill” for that? Hells no. That event is all about reading the mirage and flags to dope accordingly and lob em in there. Record is something crazy like 5 rounds in a 2” group.
Point is it’s dumb to generalize and say “a 22 should have scope X” horses for courses.
So basically I 100% agree with gamerancher - you should be buying according to the discliplenss your local club has to offer.

I've tried quite a few brands of ammo in it and it used to love the orange box winnies but sadly they are no more and the newer version isn't quite as good in it but I really don't care as it and the Savage are only used for hunting not poking paper and they both get the job done just fine
