You guys posted so much #1 stuff and I only had
1 and looked lonely so I made a swap and got another #1 in 22-250 to keep the Lott from being alone with all those bolt guns. .
I have never owned a small centerfire so what scope do ya'll like oo this.

A good place to start is with Leupold.
For a 22/250 I would take a look at the 4.5x14. I would want one with target knobs, or maybe even a 6.5x20.
I have shot a few prairie dogs over the years with a 223. I use a fixed 8x scope and sometimes wished I had a little more power. I have shot prairie dogs as far away as 420 yards, but sometimes it is hard to spot them. Also that is really stretching a 223. My rifles are skinny barreled, and used for turkey here in TX too.

I have 3 No 1s's and Browning 78. all 4 have Leupolds 3- 3x9 and 1- 4x12. The 4x12 is on a .220 swift No.1V.

Y my n.1 hat one Swaroski 3-12x56 a make hunt in Europe. Is a very good optic from all hunt, roe, red deer ad more.

Thanks for the help
