Fantastic bdc reticle scope for subsonic 22lr ammo! - Hawke Sport Optics Vantage 3-9x40mm Rifle Scopes 1in Tube Second Focal Plane

I built a custom 10-22 rifle with an Acculite threaded subsonic barrel with the Bentz chamber and 1:9 fast twist rifling for shooting suppressed subsonic ammo. I have owned 3 or 4 Hawke Optics scopes in the past and have always found them to be excellent quality scopes, rivaling competitors that cost 2-3x as much, and I have always been very satisfied with them, so when I saw this illuminated 22 subsonic scope with a BDC reticle I knew I had to give it a try with this new rifle. I'm glad I did. After sighting in the scope at 50 yards, I immediately shot a 10-shot group at 100 yards using the BDC reticle. Wow! The group was barely bigger than the 50-yard group and centered about 1/2" high at 100 yards! Since the BDC reticle goes out to 200 yards I just had to give it a try at that range. I have a 10" diameter steel gong at 200 yards. I didn't compensate quite enough for the crosswind on my first shot at 200 yards and just nicked the gong, but then I easily rang the steel the next 9 shots in a row! This BDC reticle is great, and I am very pleased with this scope and highly recommend it. - Model-14223
