BruceA Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) I currently have an SFP scope on my .22LR and an FFP on my 17HMR. I'm wondering if it would be a better set up the other way around due to the more significant ballistic curve on the .22? I very rarely use the HMR other than for close range foxing and the .22 is primarily for bunnies at varying distances.

The Hawke 22lr scopes with the notches are only accurate on a certain magnification. If you only have a normal plex reticle or similar it won't matter. At 22lr ranges I doubt it will make much different tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceA Posted January 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Yeah, Ultrastu, that was my thinking as the mildot's the same regardless of mag. TBH, I tend to use holdovers based on bunny ears being about 3" 😄 2 hours ago, Lloyd90 said: Depends what the reticle is ... do you have a mildot / 22lr specific reticle?

Same works for me with foxing. It’s just experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
