Bushnell Banners are ok ... best advice buy the best quality scope you can afford.

The extra dollars are worth it in the end as cheap scopes tend to pack it in then you spend the dollars on a better scope anyway, ends costing twice as much.

So yes the banner will do ok but if you can buy better do so ..

cheers

michael,

My advice save a few more bucks and get a Vortex Diamondback in 4-12 ring Antony at Vortex Australia and have a chat tell him I sent you.

Have a look here http://ausvarmint.kjd84.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2777 the 3.5-10x50 is still available I believe at the dollars its alittle more than your $250 but its a very nice scope with a lifetime warranty

Whats going on Rinso, are you quietly admiring my restraint at taking two posts on a thread before recommending the 204?
I looked in on this one and couldn't believe you hadnt slapped him between the eyes with a vortex, now glad to look back again and see there has been no slip in the space time continuum

michael,

Yes I would rate that better than the Banner and as I said from the start (trevort) buy the best you can afford .. micheal have you looked at the Leupolds on TOZ how much are they ???? Dont forget to add the cost of good mounts ...

cheers

elite 3200s are very good value for money (on my second). Havent used the firely reticle though.

C'mon Rinso, have a laugh!

read up on the firefly reticle. If you dont need it then same scope, different reticle
http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=3261

I have the Burris scope you are looking at. It copes very well on my 300wsm and I'm sure your 22 wont put any strain on it.

Email Jon at the optic zone before you order. If you get a good Burris its excellent but Jon reported some time back he was having quite a few returns and Burris seemed to have a quality control problem. Check if this is fixed. Chances are in the high 90s %age wise that you will get a good one anyway. Jon will take a faulty scope back no probs, but you pay postage!

Jon also posted on a new addition to Clearidge range with parallax adjustment down to 25m. I havent checked when its out, but I bought the fixed 10 power elite 3200 for my HMR, only criticism is parallax is set at 100m so makes it harder to shoot groups at 50m but doesnt impinge on hunting accuracy.

Thanks 4 taking your time to write that up trevort.

I just had a look at the clearidge scopes and this one has caught my eye.. http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=4176

think i will get this one because it AO and it has fine cross hairs which i was looking for!

Thanks for your help fellas

Cheers

I would get this if i was you http://theopticzone.com/detail.aspx?ID=3327

The Legend range imo is the best value and most over looked scope on the market, the only real difference between the this and the 3200 3-9 is this has 2% more light transmission and it made from to peaces instead of one which shouldn't be an issue, ive never heard of a scope snapping in half

I have a legend 2-7x32 and i couldn't be happier with it.

that seems a good choice for a rimfire if you have typical 50m target work in mind
