I want to use this for range shooting out to 100 yards using 22LR ammo and splatter targets. Would this scope be a good choice?

You bet! I bought two because I was impressed with the quality for the price.

Jim in my observation using this field scope I could very easily see the holes in the targets especially with the reactive paper targets that I have used. I have shot the targets with 22LR, 5.56 (223). No problems viewing at 100 yards on a clear day with ample day light. Hope this helps and good shooting to you!

The spotting scope I bought is capable of seeing 30-06 on a target at 200 yards.Leupold makes high quality products. I also use their rifle scopes without issue. Thanks Nicholas

I like to use quick release Leupold or Warne rings. To use either at same time there are good rings that give you a sight picture of both but I don't like how high it makes the scope. Check with friends or friendly gun store where you can look at options and pick what you like best. I keep in mind that it is still a 22 and limit my use to under 100 yds for a fun gun that is cheap to shoot. I hope you enjoy your shooting either way.

Like a champ. You may need a rail to mount it to. Not sure what yours comes with for scope mounting. I have one on a Ruger 10\22 and it works great. I'm shooting 200 yards. Nice magnification and pretty good optics for $50 bucks. Aim Sports was great to work with and good fast service. You may need a scope mount which you can also get from Aim sports and probably have it all by the end of the week. Good luck and happy shooting.

I wouldnt recommend this scope to be used on a shotgun. I would say get you a nice red dot scope. Hunting with a shotgun is usually within 100yards. This scope is more so for a rifle able to reach out to about 300yards or better! A good red dot will do you just fine. Just my opinion.

Well I beleive it depends at what range your shooting at. 100 - 150 yrds? Should be no problem. 200? Maybe the max. But I beleive for the cost its okay for that cal. But I would pay a little more for a scope that is more rugged and capable of a longer range. it would be worth it in the long run.

I shoot my .223 at 300 yards. However, I find the scope unusable at that range with standard black/white targets. With 'splatter' targets the scope works marginally depending on the weather; in other words, the heat on hot days can cause enough distortion to prevent accurate identification of where the round hit the target. Even on moderate temperature days you are asking a lot from this scope (at 250 + yards) with a .223 round unless you have the eyes of a 15 year old. :)

I would recommend this scope. I use it on a .308 and it holds under a 1 inch group at 100. I've also shot out past 400 and had equally accurate results. The reticle is very crisp and the magnification covers a good range.

I think this scope would be ideal for that rifle but I would go with a higher 3x9 power for that application. At 100 yrds I find myself wanting a little more magnification than the 2x7 I bought. If you have old eyes, even more so.

Mounted mine on MP 15/ 22 does a good . Don't think I would put on AR if shooting at critters out past 150 yards. Hope this helps other then that I really like the scope.

I suggest the splatter targets, since they leave a bigger signature and the .223 is a smaller caliber---a 100yards is about max with that scope

I purchased it for my friend for the same reason and you can see a good 200 yards with this clear even with inflated off. If you want to look in thick brush and have an eye for what you are looking for this is perfect. Out friend a hunter as well has asked to use it for the sMe reason and went and bought himself the same model. Hope this helps. Ps no clouds spots or grainy ness to the scope at all its perfect for those not looking to spend thousands of dollars.

Using this scope on a .308 is a good choice. They are very well built and reliable. I use one on a 300 Winchester Magnum which has about 30% more recoil than a .308.

This one is a good scope. Your use of the rifle will dictate the correct zoom range.

Yes, I use this for .223 at 100 yds on a white/ black silhouette. Haven't tried further but I'd guess with 20/20 vision could probably use this scope for out to 150 yds. Biggest problem is the short stand, I usually just hold it and stabilize my arms with the ground

Yes. You can hit a target at 300+ yards with iron sights so this scope is sufficient.

I wear bifocals and also use this indoors and outdoors, and find it to be quite a good scope out to 200 yards for 22 caliber and up. Anything farther this isn't what you would want.
