Just acquired an Anschutz 1710 HB AV, now I need glass. Will be benchrest shooting only with it, out to 100 yards. I’m thinking a Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 mostly for two reasons, 1) I can’t see needing more than 18x and 2) I can get a Fed/Mil discount on them. That said, the rifle wasn’t cheap and I’m definitely not looking too cheap on the scope. Recommendations about scope for 22lr benchrest?

 

Can’t go wrong with a Leupold, as far as magnification, that’s up to you, but I think 18 would be plenty,

im not a benchrest shooter, but I love to poke holes in paper, bottles, buckets, dirt piles, or what ever else is a safe target, I like hunting too, but more bird hunting, rifle and pistol I do more plinking. I’m no expert, but a Leupold in my opinion is hard to beat
