Decent scope for a .22 hornet

Postby touchstonemark » Sun Nov 04, 2012 9:30 pm

Hi all, I just invested in an Archer night sight but it needs scopes with parallax adjustment or won't focus correctly.
My .22 Hornet has only got a cheap Busnell on it without any parallax adjustment. Any suggestion on a decent scope and anyone selling something suitable ?

You might want side parallax for ease of use
I shoot more bullets than Topper Harley in hotshots part deux

Do you have the 6-24x56 or the 4-16x60 MTC ? I can't work out which will perform better with night vision,

I have got the 6-16x50 on mine. You dont really need the 24xmag on a Hornet. 16 x mag is more then enough out to 200 -300 yards :thup:

Nice one Steve! Just ordered new one before I saw your post, cheers for that though. It should be here tomorrow so will let you know what it's like with the archer.
