OT - Scope options for 22H Handi-Rifle
I need to put glass on my new to me 22H Handi-Rifle.
Paper punching and maybe a little small bore silhouette, something variable with a max power of 12-14X.
Inexpensive (not cheap ) would be nice as well.
Thanks!

My Hornet's not a Handi, but the Leupold 2-7x28 Compact on it is more than enough to handle anything, out to as far as I'm likely to shoot at with it.

Pete is right on the money, a 2x7 compact is what I have on my CZ and it
is sweet. Mine being a Burris, and Burris now has the Timberline series out
for folks who don't want to break the bank, about $150.00.
But if you get a leupey you will definitely not regret it, scopes are one of those
things that you almost always get what you pay for.

Funny, how great minds think alike - My Hornet's a CZ, also.
I bought my Leupold used for $125, over 10 years ago - but, shucks, brandy-new ones are only $220 today:

I find a 4X is plenty of power for the Hornet. I must be in the minority on scope sights though. Every gun I see has a scope with a tube bigger than a 105mm howitzer. Makes no sense to me.

You might consider a 3x9 Nikon Prostaff. I have three of these now and absolutely love em. $150. The optics are the best for the $$ hands down IMHO.
If you really want the higher magnification capability, then I'd look at a Weaver.

I own more Leupold 2-7x32's than any other scope - so that is always my first choice - although the last scope I purchased was Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 for a Ruger 10/22 - I wanted alittle more at the top end for load ammo testing and punching paper. I have owned a few Bushnell Trophy's in the past and always found them reasonable qualilty for the price.
My Ruger 77/22 hornet I have is loaded with Lil'Gun and 40 gr V-max's and wears a Simmons Atec 2.8x10 - this gun puts a whoopin' on a groundhog when it gets the chance too

In my case, I prefer to crank the magnification after shooting a group since my eyes ain't the best and I don't always want to wait for a cease fire to see how I did.Hobie wrote:I find a 4X is plenty of power for the Hornet.

Thanks for the advice so far, anyone have any experience with Barska?
