Nv to sit on a .22 for rabbits and rats

[OxfordshireNapp]

As above, already have a TD50l which I'm going to put on my .243.

Thoughts on a scope ideally with ballistic cal for my .22
Don't mind second hand

Pard DS.

I use it across FAC air, 22LR and 22WMR.

I've a Arken Zulus that I just can't get on with and have used a Pard008s and Sytong both with BC's previously too. Also use the Hik Alpex on CF.

The DS35 operating system is easy to use and battery life is good. Mine is the 50 model with lower mag.

Not popular so SH are bargains.

Hello, If that is a 22 L/R why do you need a Ballistic calculator ?? I have a Sytong HT 60 but no LRF, Down sizing my night shooting gear, Also a Yukon Photon XT ,

There is a nice little PARD just gone onto Classifieds.

Yep I have the Pard 008P on my .17 hmr, demoted from the .222 when I bought a Zulus - great piece of kit for both rifles and that’s a good price.

22 really doesn’t need a ballistic calc

Totally Disagree! The .22lr benefits MASSIVELY with Bc added allowing Humane accurately placed shots at reasonable distance without guess work, Especially in the Dark!

Know your distance, know your drops. Like they did in the olden days

Technology as Moved on and is Far more Accurate than Anyone’s pure guess work!!

WRONG!!!
Air rifles and 22rimfires are where a ballistic calculator is at its most useful because those bullets/pellets have the most curved trajectory with the point of impact changing rapidly with distance
A properly set up ballistic calculator will calculate the correct aiming point for a ranged distance and take the guesswork (or remembering holdovers) out of the equation
Less useful on a fast centrefire since the bullet drop over typical shooting distances is much less

How on earth did I manage shooting bunnies with open sights - sheer luck

Did or Do ??

Probably best to get a bc calculator scope that can do wind calls then

Low cost NV

The best value for money without question is the Alpex A50T-S model, very versatile in regard to mount options and excellent low light full colour.

HikMicro Alpex A50T-S Day and Night Scope

The HikMicro Alpex A50T-S day and night scope, provides HD night vision imaging and incredible value for money. Available now from leading UK retailer.

Then the more compact Zulus ZHD model has more features, including LRF and ballistic calc and a lightweight compact design.

DNT Zulus LRF ZHD520R 5-20X HD Digital Scope

The DNT Zulus LRF ZHD520R provides HD imaging and inbuilt ballistic calculator, featuring a cutting edge Sony Starvis 2 sensor.

Ah, the olden days…..
I don’t know how we managed to hit anything really; oh wait a minute……

 

[mealiejimmy]

No, you did the same as everyone else - holdover or guesswork
The point I was making is that a ballistic calculator is more effective on a rifle which shoots "slow" projectiles than on rifles that shoot "fast" projectiles
Using a scope with a ballistic calculator on, say, a 22 rimfire shooting subsonic ammo greatly increases the range at which accurate shots can be made
Using the DNT zulus520 to shoot rabbits with subsonic ammo at 200 yards is nothing unusual

Absolute nonsense.

 

[Foxyboy43]

Absolute nonsense.

I don’t have a rabbit running in this race so would be interested if you would expand please?
Thanks.

 

[The Singing Stalker]

Absolute nonsense.

With the right.22, I don’t see why not. Although to be fair, I wouldn’t be good enough.
