High quality scope for 22 rifle - Nikon P-223 3x32 BDC Carbine Rifle Scope

I wanted a small light fixed power scope for my Browning Buckmark Target Rifle. This is a little over 8" long and weighs 12.05 oz. Perfect size for a 22 rifle. Most 3-9X rimfire scopes are 12"-13" in length and weigh 14 to 21 oz. which is visually out of balance with the rifle. This scope is crystal clear without distortion. The reticle has fine lines. The tactical turrets work perfectly making it easy to adjust zero and bullet drop but are a little bulky. For my purposes, regular adjusters would have been enough and also would make the scope a few ounces lighter. Unfortunately Nikon only makes a bow hunting model of the 3X scope with small turrets. I was hesitant to try that model on my rifle.

For my Ruger 10/22 Takedown Lite I have a Leupold 4X that is 9" and 8 oz. but it is about $200. This Nikon scope was about $75 less on sale and just as clear; only a little heavier. All other quality 4X scopes are at least 2" longer and more expensive. I also have bought cheap 4x compact scopes in the $20 to $30 range for kids rifles like the Savage Rascal that are similarly small in size but they cannot compare optically due to distortion and thick reticles. They are like looking through the bottom of a coke bottle. This Nikon scope is the smallest and least expensive quality scope. I would highly recommend this for any 22 rifle, especially if off-hand rapid shooting at fleeing tin cans is the soup-du-jour.
