im gettin a .22lr cz 455 very soon and was wondering was this a good enough scope?

my intentions will be night time shooting of rabbits at no more than 90/100yards i guess?

i have a friend with a redfield 3-9x50 its a sweet scope really clear but it lacks magnification for lamping on his 22.swift he reckons and advised me towards something of 12-16 magnification!

so just wondering will this scope be good enough for my .22lr at night?

it is only a .22lr so dont wanna spend too much and have heard good things about this scope

thanks dave

4-16 is a good set up for nite .22 work. Takes a really expensive scope to work well @nite. Zeiss 6-24x72* being one.

As I said Glensman, you need to go expensive o be able to see well over 12 or 14 in low light conditions.

For a budget 4-14 is your best bet as you have as low as 4x for very low light, and up to 14 if you have a good lamp or wish to also use it during the day

Hi have a 4-16x40 bushnell banner dusk to dawn on my 17 hmr and find it great for nite work. only cost around 230. happy wit it.:)

I was just giving out about that scope, Im not liking it on my .220 swift for longer ranges. I had it on a .22 for a couple of months though and it was fairly good, i'd say it would be spot on for the ranges/job you have in mind!

Looks like you have a buyer for your scope then Pugw!

One shot on kill

redfield are a good scope if you could get one wigh more mag for your self but only if they were cheaper than the bushnell.

bushnell have a great rep and id never hesitate recommendin one

Tack I cannot believe that you put the Zeiss 6-24x72 @€;2500+ forward as a scope for a 22lr rifle even more so when the OP was asking about a Bushnell 6-18x50. Please try to keep to some sort of sanity when posting replies.

My son has that scope, bushnell banner 6-18x50, on his 223 and finds it good, including lamping the red lad. He has the Bushnell 4-12x40 elite 3200 on his 22lr and hits what he aims at with it.

I have a Bushnell 10x40 on my 22lr and can't fault it in any way.

I gave both end of the scales.
The Op wanted a crystal clear high mag scope at night for small money.

It don't exist is all I was trying to point out.

And Hence recommended a Nikon or similar second hand. My Cousin bought one for €350 a while back

FFS Tack where did you get that

They wanted to know if the scope they linked to would be ok for shooting rabbits at night at 100 yards.

i cant see it either


and just say some lads say there ****

but i have a hawk nite eye on my 22lr and i fi d it perfect at nite

it might need a sun sade thats it

also the other nite it was pissin rain hard on it was a bit hard to see some scopes make rain drops microsopic

my scope goes to 20 mag and i never use it that high only use it at 10 mag some times it could be hard to see a target if your mag is up very high

that what i find anyway
