Have recently lucked in to a beautiful Winchester Model 75 sporter--not target. It already has a Weaver 'scope, a narrow-gauge item about 3/4" diameter, which is cloudy to look through, especially at 100 yd.
The rifle groups decently, though, at 100 yd, with CCI Mini-Mag Silhouette ammo--about 1 1/2" group off the bench. (It was a bright sunny day, so the target was sort of visible through the 'scope.)
My local club has rimfire silhouette matches, and perhaps I could use this rifle to compete in these matches, except for the cloudiness of the 'scope.
So, what do I replace this 'scope with? Brownell's has the 1" diameter rings for the mount, BTW, so a 1" diameter 'scope is not a problem. What do other 100 yd. rimfire silhouette competitiors use? What do squirrel hunters use? I've never before owned a .22 with a 'scope.
Suggestions, anyone?
