Need advice on new .22LR optic

[fiver]

it is at distance.[50+]
when your trying to dial in like 15-20 yards you have to drop the power setting too.

both of my Leupolds are off by about 10 yards across the whole spectrum.
I know that,, so it's no big deal.

So I ended up buying an inexpensive Vortex Crossfire II for the Kimber.
It’s a 4x12x40 with an AO.
Should work nicely.

Love the shirt, Walter, that's outstanding.

How's the clarity at high power? Are the crosshairs fine enough for your tastes?

 

[waco]

I’ll give them a 7 out of 10. It’s a $189 scope. Ya get what ya pay for. But I’m happy with it. Most of my .22lr shooting is 50 yards or less.

 

[fiver]

I use one on my 250-Ackley and on the 243 for varmint and deer hunting.
it's pretty good for both and for target shooting.
it's kind of big but not too big [it covers like 1/2" dots at 50 yds, but leaves 4 triangles at 100 on a 1" dot]

I’m a big Bob Ross fan. I can’t paint worth beans but I try.

A tree lives here.....

A Happy little tree. Get it right.

 

[Brad]

Sorry. My wife has a BA in Art. She got chastised a little when her painting instructor heard her say “A happy little tree lives here”. He said “did you really just do that?”

 

[waco]

BA in art and Bob Ross usually are not used in the same sentence or room.

 

[Brad]

I think that is kinda what her instructor was saying.
If a local University had a program for a masters in art history she would be in it.

 

[Ian]

My Dad (art history professor) isn't much of a Bob Ross fan either, but i don't care. Ross truly mastered the art of "wet on wet" oil painting, and with a lot of work he and his wife eventually built a highly successful business off of it. The PBS shows have entertained millions for decades and have brought a lot of smiles.

 

[Brad]

He had a passion and found a way to make living doing what he loved. How can you dislike that?
Someday we really need to meet Ian and his father. Maybe not in that order.....

 

[fiver]

as a not a connoisseur of the arts I can go ahead and say with authority that a painting is good or it ain't.
I like the Dutch masters.
I'm not a fan of most of the goofy chopped up abstract stuff,,, except every once in a while I can look at one and go ahhh okay is see what he is doing here.

Bob Ross's problem is he let people see him paint and many of them critiqued his process, not the outcome.

Waco,
That's magnitudes better than I can do, so you ought to feel proud of your work.

Well thanks for saying so. My wife is the real artist in the house.

Julia Child wasn't much of a cook either but she had passion , a style , and flair .
Have you ever seen a real Monet or Picasso up close ?
I liked Bob Ross he inspired many people to try their hands at something they thought they might like while the end result wasn't what they had in mind it was fun . Frankly anybody that can whip out a 24"² landscape in 45 min that's a Rockwell 2nd in oil on canvas is a far better man than I . I can barely scale a 1:48 on graph paper with a steel rule , some days I have trouble drawing my breath .

Whatcha gunna do with the ole nikon?

 

[Pistolero]

Without adjustable parallax I would worry for a rimfire scope. Most rimfire shooting, due mostly to wind
drift and drop is well under 100 yds. Fixed parallax scopes are set for 50 yds if intended of rimfire and
100 yds if intended for centerfire.

Wait, there is actually such a thing as "art history"? That's an actual profession? I used to hear Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers on NPR use that term, but I thought it was a joke. The things you learn! No disrespect to your father, it's just, who knew? ya know?
