I'd go with the 3-12, especially if you'll be shooting at longer ranges. Merry Christmas! | |||

paal For a pistol scope I think Burris is the leader in this field. I have Burris scopes on justable all my pistol from 44 mag to 375 JRS. The 3-12x32 would make a great long range. | ||

Although you could stretch a bit further depending on wind conditions and your ability 300 yards is probably typical for the .22BR. I know it is possible to hit out to 400 or even 500 if you real good and a bit lucky. I know for myself when I am hunting ground hogs here in Pennsylvania with my 6mmBR HS Precision pro 2000 pistol 300 yards sitting using a bipod is a real tough shot. I have a Burris 3-12 on mine and its tough to find the target at anything above 10. Again I'm not shooting from a bench either. From a bench,or solid prone position it's a different story. Anyway I like the Burris very much, and I'm glad that I have the option of turning up the power if needed even if it makes things tougher. After all it's why we chose a pistol over a rifle in the first place. I also like the adjustable objective, and I have the target knobs on mine. The Leupold is a nice scope but I agree with the others and in this case vote Burris. Good Luck | ||

Hello. Thank you for your answers. Have anyone of you,tried a reddot on the Rem.XP-100? For example a Aimpoint. I have one Aimpoint on my Ruger MKII with silencer, and pretty much satiesfied. I understand that this "scope" is not for long range. Norway | ||
<Hutt> |
Is it a mid-grip or end-grip? as eye relief can be critical. | ||
<SlimL> |
The Red dot is most definitely a short range "scope". And the 22 BR is most definitely a long range cartridge all things considered. Go with the most power you can with that cartridge. Slim | ||

paal, hut has the right question about the grip, it makes a difference. Also if you have short arms (tall or short). I know it sounds silly, but I have short arms and find the eye relief to long on Leupold scopes. I've tried T/C, Leup., Burris, Tasco, and some "dots" and I seem to like the Burris the best. The Posi-loc feature is a pain but it works. | ||

Paal, you dog, who ever would rebarrel a perfectly good XP-100 to such a puny caliber. I have two I did. One in 22-250 and one in 284 Win. The 22-250 has a Burris 10x and shoots almost as well as my Encore 22-250. Kinda hard to hold still, stretch out to use the EER and pull the go button at the same time. I have a hard time walking and chewing gum at the same time, sometimes. The 284 is for all those who think they have a hard charging pistola. One round out of the 284 is usually all they want and sometimes I'm the only volunteer left after I shoot the first round off. I would stay with the 3-12. That extra power comes in handy when you want to reach out and un-liven a critter. | ||

quote: Nothing at all silly about what you write. I don't think I have short arms (shirt is 17.5-33), but I can use the Leupold 2.5-8 pistol scope on my H-S Precision mid-grip pistol with two hands only by stretching out. I don't mind stretching, and it probably helps consistency, but it DOES illustrate that the eye relief is borderline. For one hand, it's right on. | |||

paal, I have also noticed that if you have to extend (stretch) your arms to clear the scope, you can't get into some shooting positions.I know one deer who owes his very life to that phenomenon. Think about a bow with to much draw length. mvm | ||
