I put a new scope on my Ruger American .22 Magnum

At the Range this morning I started at 25 yards.

I got the scope dialed in fairly close and then fired this target. I shot once and was gonna adjust the windage but thought, No, I will shoot a couple more to make sure that's where it's hitting. I fired 2 more and through the spotting scope could see they were tight, so I shot twice more.

Then I moved to 50 yards. I had not yet adjusted the windage.

After that I started adjust the windage. on this target I shot the top left hit .. adjusted the scope fired the top right .. adjusted the scope right and down and fired the 3 lower hits.

Then I shot some Hornady V-Max 30 grain loads. They hit about an inch higher than the CCI Maxi Mags.

After that I spent some time shoot clay pigeon laying on the berm. This is a fun little rifle and easy to shoot.

What scope would that be, Jim?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I was ordering some Marbles front sights .. ivory bead ..

barrel blanks .. little stuff. And the company I was ordering from - Midwest Gun Works - popped up a sale on Remington 3 X 9 scopes complete with rings for a really good price. Since I had taken the scope off my .22 Magnum for use on the Shootists .45 Colt levergun I ordered one. Turns out to be a pretty nice scope.

I’m not positive….

…..but it appears to have been made by Simmons, and their rimfire series are generally considered to be pretty good for the money.

I know I’ve used them on a couple of .22 rifles and been quite satisfied.

I think you are correct. It seems to work just fine. (nt)

I have a Simmons rimfire scope on my Ruger American Rimfire in 22 long rifle. There’s a Leupold 2-7 rimfire on my 22 magnum version and I’m pretty happy with both scopes and rifles
