Yesterday I took my 10/22 to the range to sight in the new scope I mounted on it, the scope is a Vortex 2x7 Crossfire II. After getting it sighted in and drilling a few holes in the air I have a few comments to make about this particular scope.
Firstly, I paid $129 for the scope and it is of course not illuminated. Second, there's a considerable amount of glare when sighting in the target. Those two issues aside it's a pretty good scope given the price point. Unfortunately being past 65 my eyesight is pretty lousy so that even what some would deem a little thing becomes a big thing as the peepers become less sharp. So, does anyone have personal experience owning a Vortex illuminated scope that also has better optics and that works well with the Ruger 10/22. Also, if so what power scope is it and what model. My thanks for all replies.
