15-22 Optics Options (Poll)

[PJDiesel]

Looking to set up my 15-22 with a scope. I don't know much at all about optics, pretty much just bought cheapo jobbers over the years (Simmons).

Trying to find something fairly compact and not approaching 50% of the value of the entire gun. (less than $200 preferred).

If you don't like my initial options feel free to post up what have/like.

Thanks in advance.

Phil

Don't forget Primary Arms.

Primary Arms 'Fake'point MicroDot on mine. More than sufficient for 50 yards and quick acquisition... ~ $80 if available, which they're not. Other flavors are at the moment:

The Primary site is where I was browsing the Vortex. I look frequently on OpticsPlanet too. But, without knowing what I am looking at/talking about, it's somewhat of a waste.

You're creeping out of my price range already!

Plans are playing around, pinking cans, paper and such, nothing important. I do want something bright, and not just a dot.

With my 15-22 I'm planning on outfitting it with a Nikon p-22 2-7x32 scope with bdc out to 150yards. The scope itself values around $200. Then another $50 or so for the p-series scope mounts. This is more then What your looking to spend but I believe this is a great option for the 15-22. 2 power for close range shooting. Then 7 power for those 100-150 yard plinks. And you can't beat nikon quality. I love nikon scopes.

Vortex is the obvious choice in your list. The other is the PA micro dot, if/when it's in stock.

I have a 15-22 as well and sold my red dot to put some magnification on it. For plinking its just more fun for me to have some magnification, plus it doubles as a solild hunting choice.

I would go with the nikon p22 or the nikon prostaff 3-9x. Put it in a primar arms mount for $25 and youll be under $200. They are great optics at reasonable prices. The ones you listed will be serviceable, but if you do it right the first time you won't have to sell and upgrade later. It is worth it, trust me!

Let us know what you get!

I put a Primary Arms 1-4X 24 Illuminated Scope PA14X on my ST-22. Great scope for the money.
Turn it down to 1x, it's a dot sight. Turn it up to 4x for distance work.

I just put one of these on mine

I agree with the other two posters,the Nikon P-22 is an awesome scope for the 15-22. I have the 2x7x32 with the Nikoplex reticle and the extra turrets and the Nikon P series AR scope mounts.

I went with the Nikoplex reticle because I also have the ProStaff Rimfire 3x9x40 with the BDC 150 reticle on a different rifle and wanted to try something different. I'm very happy with both scopes,Nikon makes a great product.

Add the Nikon to your poll.

Add the Nikon to your poll.

It's beyond my Vbulletin abilities.

I only selected 4 entries. If a mod could, please change the 4th one (other) to Nikon P-22.

Bushnell TRS25, if you you would be happy with a red dot. Well built and affordable.

I think I've moved on to magnification at this point (for this gun)

 

[bigdummy30]

Gotcha!

Yeah I think magnification is a must especially if you are stretching it out to 100yrds. I have a red dot on my S&W 22a pistol and I'm good for about 50yrds after that its kinda point and shoot and hope it hits where you're trying to aim.
