I'm buying my first 22lr and am confused on what I need as far as a scope, and could use some guidance from those more experienced. There's only a few things I'd like to do with this rifle.
1. Learn to shoot accurately from a few field positions.
2. Learn how to estimate wind for different ranges.
3. Learn how to estimate range and bullet drop.
4. Adjust a scope to accommodate wind and bullet drop.
The rifle I'm looking to put it on is a Savage Mark II BV. From reports, this gun will be able to out shoot me for a very long time.
With a little reading on the internet, it looks like I want something 3-9 zoom, with target turrets, that is repeatable in terms of wind and elevation adjustment, and an adjustable objective. Is this a good match for my needs? If so, could I get a few suggestions on scopes that are a good value and meet my criteria?
There is a 100 yrd underground rifle range a few blocks from my house, so I believe I'll be able to get some practice in this winter.
Any tips are appreciated!
Thanks,
