How To Mount A Scope On A .22 Rifle With a .22 rifle, you expect to hit what you aim for, as with any other caliber rifle. The better the scope, the better your chances are of hitting the target. When buying a rimfire scope mount, you want to pay the same as with any other scope for any other rifle. The optical demands of rimfire shooting are greater than those of shooting long-range with larger caliber rifles. You can demonstrate any optical challenges of scoping a rimfire with binoculars. Focusing on an object up to around one hundred yards. When looking at closer objects, the focus will become blurred. The closer you look, the worse the focus will be. Optical problems can be encountered when scoping a rimfire because they are often used to shoot a small bone at close range, this is when the focus is the most critical. One thing you can do is to use a low magnification scope. The lower-powered options have a greater depth of focus, which means they are forgiving when compared to optics of higher magnifications. Variable power scopes can be set to a lower magnification, making close distance focus much sharper than the higher end magnification range. This is why there are rimfire scope mounts, which are made specifically for this type of rifle, with a modest magnification of four times or less. Scopes have come a long way in recent years, which means you are not stuck with a lowpowered scope on your rimfire, sometimes higher magnifications are beneficial and desirable. You want to find a rimfire scope mount that has been manufactured specifically for the rimfire, they are excellent with a limited range available on the market today. Any shooter that is serious about the rimfire should pay close attention to the scope mount they purchase. This will ensure you can focus close range without magnification limitations. Some scopes have an adjustable objective lens, this helps you focus up close with a variable scope, so you can enjoy close and far distances. You can set the magnification to the power you want and need, focusing the adjustable objective lens to the range you are shooting with clear sight. A big mistake often made with rimfire scopes is how they are attached. In years past, the rimfire didn't have any provisions to mount a scope and those that came with scopes were challenging and required a lot of patience to get used to them. These days all rimfire rifles come with pre-drilled space for a scope mount. It is always advisable to ensure the rifle you purchase has the space to accommodate the rimfire scope mounts, making your life much easier.


Take center fire into consideration when buying a rimfire scope mount.

The top-end systems can be pricey but offer accuracy, appearance, and strength.
