Anyone else practicing with .22 trainers?

I looked at those scopes Bob - they look interesting.

The transition from heavy to thin on the post on my scope on the 452 happens to be bang on at 150 m with CCI Standard.

That was during intense rabbit season.
The Z6 was borrowed from another rifle to be more usefull during dusk and dawn

I have a BRUNO No2 that I have just fitted a new scope to that I intend to practice with. I should be a real hoot.
The scope is a HAWKE Vantage 3 to 9x40 sub sonic rimfire scope for subsonic 22lr at 1050fps.This scope has multiple hash marks graduated to 200 yards. You sight it in to be spot on at 50 yards on 9 power. The hash marks are the marked 75,100, 125, 150 and 200 yards.
It should prove interesting shooting 200 yard gongs with it. Learning to judge the wind will be a learning curve.
What I like about it is its cheap to feed. 50 rounds of 22lr subs is less than 5 handmade Whelen ammo. So a lot more fun for less dollars.
If you want to know what the scope is like there's a good video on you tube about it. The hawke scopes come suited for 22 subsonic, 22lr, 22mag and 17 HMR. The video on the 22 mag shows a person shooting gongs at 200 and 300 yards.

Yep, there are guys that take 22lr long range shooting very, very seriously. Some of them have more money tied up in a rimfire rifle that most of us will spend on a Dangerous Game rifle.

The Hawke reticle is easy to use and also has red and green illumination for low light.

The hawke reticle for 22 subsonic

Isnt that set an on a given magnification?

Instead of going with the .22LR, I went with a Savage Axis in .223. My reasoning was I had a boatload of 5.56 and .223 ammo and I wanted a longer bolt throw similar to my other centerfire rifles.

@Warbeast
Yes to use the marks it has to be set on the max power which in this case is 9 power. I'm looking forward to trying it. The you tube video looks great fun.
