Remington 222 scope recommendations

[JMack]

What scope would folks mount on a remington 700 classic? I was thinking of a basic 3-9x40 leupy or something. my kids will likely spend time behind this neat little rifle

3-9 Leupold is ideal. I wouldn't hesitate to put a Nikon on it either.

I just put a 3-12 LRTS on a 600.

I've got a leupold VX3 2.5-8 on my 222. Nice little setup!

Depends on the target. When I was a kid had a 722 222 w/a K10. Fine for Woodchucks. For small stuff like gophers I'd prefer 16X on the high end.

That's along the lines of what I was thinking. Easy to get behind with a generous eye box.

I don't have a Rem 222 per say, but I put a Vortex Razor HD LH 3-15x42 on my 20-222 and it made for a really nice setup on that rifle. I think there's a couple nice clean used ones for sale in the classified section.

On my 700 BDL sporter in .222 ,I have a straight 12 X Leupold , with a reticle change to a 1/8th dot, and then some times I change to a 30X Leupold also with a 1/8 dot. Just for fun!!! I love this little rifle for just relaxed target shooting.

My rifle has a 12 twist so 55 grn is the max bullet weight I can really shoot. I'm usually between 50 grn to 53 grn . Hornady V Max and Berger. Some times I can put three shots into one ragged hole at 100 yards, off a rest, if its not too windy . Let us know when you get the perfect load for your rifle.

I'd roll with a 3.5-10x40 Vx3i.
