Leupold #175075

Thanks UD! You must've read my mind. That's exactly what I was thinking.

My pleasure! I’m sure that scope would serve you very well.

Just by way of mention....

If this was last year when they were being closed out, Leupold’s VX-2 # 110808 was then still available in a number of the supply houses, and would have been a peach of a scope on that rifle also. The scope is a 4x12x40 AO with a fine duplex reticle and an adjustable objective. It’s a very versatile scope for rimfires and centerfires both, where small targets are in play, and parallax adjustability is desirable. Leupold significantly consolidated their line and, sadly IMO as it nicely fills a rimfire niche especially, they haven’t yet seen fit to replace it.

Just thought I’d mention this one also, should you encounter one at a show or on e-Bay or elsewhere. Worth a look also IMO. Good Luck with your new rig, and we’ll look forward to seeing your latest .22!

I can honestly say that after today's trip to the range, if I buy a .22 rifle it'll be this thing. I'd be glad to hear your recommendations for glass because that's what drives me nuts the most about rifles: trying to pick a scope.

Z, thanks for the comments. I'll put up a Tikka T1x vs CZ Varmint 455 shoot out thread in the Rimfire section tonight or tomorrow. As you saw, 5 shot touching groups at 50 yards, smaller than a dime, is straightforward with both rifles. The glass on both were Weaver Grand Slam (4-16x) and Super Slam (3-15x) which compares nicely and, imo, exceeds Leupold VX-2. However, the Leupolds are slightly lighter.

Yeah, for target shooting, would go at least 4-12x if not 6-18x if one could source a Leupold VX-2 with parallax adjustment (AO) since they reconfigured their line. Have a Leupold VX-2 3-9x AO EFR (with fine duplex reticle) on my CZ 452 American that makes for a great field rifle, but is hard to shoot against my CZ 455 Varmint with the Weaver GS 4-16x when evaluating at 100 yards. In fact I would like more magnification for this distance if shooting for groups.

FYI, for those shopping Leupold on eBay, like some other manufacturers (Magpul, Trijicon, etc), there is a thriving industry of Chinese knockoffs being sold as authentic ...

A few years ago I picked up a Marlin 60 from Gun Connection. Dan made me a great deal on it but I've never fired it.

Picked up a Thompson center tcr22 last week

That's a fun rifle.

Mine was also a Tikka T1x that I pre-ordered last January when they were announced and received right before Christmas. It is a really nice shooting rifle. Mine seems to like the CCI standard velocity and the Wolf match the best so far. Anything copper plated and the groups open up. I have an SWFA 3-15x42 mounted on it.

Tikka T1x in 22LR

Fidelity did you take out the barrel shoe horn or leave it in? I have read mixed results. Mine seems to shoot better with it out.

Hey, I didn't know about the shoe horn. I need to catch up on the Tikka threads at RFC. I just started an MDS thread here ...

... quoting your post and adding a picture. If you might follow up there, it would be great.

Ps. I also saw nice results with CCI SV on my first outing with the rifle.

Marlin 99M1. Stock had been shortened, rear sight missing, needed a hammer and scope was added. $68.00 about 2 weeks ago.

Picked one up a few weeks ago from the same place. Haven’t shot it yet.

Nice! I hope you love yours as much as I love mine.

Jimbob2.0 · Feb 18, 2019

That's a hard question. I think it was my Ruger 10/22 Talo M1 clone. My usual .22 snag list consists of anything Taurus or Rossi in a gallery gun, see them occasionally at "fair" prices but not often.

TheOriginalMexicanBob · Feb 19, 2019

I just picked up this yesterday...Ruger 10-22 RSI International. It has a black laminate Mannlicher stock and blue metal. I picked it up NIB pretty cheap on an online auction based in NY.

Here it is with my other .22 in a Mannlicher stock...CZ 452 which is a great shooter.

Cool looking stocks. Don't see that on a 10/22 very often.

10/22 backpacker with threaded barrel

SigMatt · Feb 19, 2019

Ruger RPR. Next to its bigger brother, my Ruger PRS in .308, suppressor ready.

As a companion to the thread on your first one, what is the latest one and when?

Mine, a 10/22 a couple of weeks ago at the Bel Air show.

Used Winchester semi-auto.

10/22 takedown with the backpackers stock

I really like it

justeric · Feb 20, 2019

Vudo V22 Barreled Action in an Masterpiece Arms Chassis with a Khales scope. I use this as my Precision Rifle practice gun. I can switch the barreled actions between my 6.5 x 47 and my 22lr with 2 screws. I use the 22lr for Practical Rimfire competitions shooting targets between 15 and 300 yards from uncomfortable positions under time constraints. The Mid Atlantic Rimfire Series (MARS) has 18, 22lr practical, precision rimfire shoots this year. I highly recommend attending a shoot with whatever 22lr setup you have. Shooters have done extremely well with stock guns and inexpensive scopes.
