that is a tall order for the price

this is 1 inch not 30mm and so far the turrets track but I can't tell you I run them up and down alot , but a few times when shooting further then back to zero

Hawke makes a pretty good scope for the money. I think they have some in the specs you mentioned. Tall order for that price, prices you out of Meopta and up. Are you going to dial this scope? Or just using the reticle for holdovers?

I know you said variable, but a SWFA 6x may be something to consider. Considering what you're wanting to do with it.

Actually that pretty close to what I want ! Only deal is it's got a 100yd set parallax. See these would be going on.22lr s so need something that can focus pretty close....but I'm going to keep this one in mind

Half and half. Just taking .22lrs out to some distance. Gonna be on some *buddy guns* I just can't justify a $400 scope on a .22lr ... At least right now. No to mention it will be something other peoel will use and I'd like it fairly simple just to cover the basics of hold over/ hold under. Peoel seem to get confused pretty quick with the really complex stuff.

And no I'm not becoming a teacher or anything just.....boy I created a monster

it would be awesome if some one made a 2-10 first focal plane side focus with a MOA hash recital
I can't really see wanting to be at full magnifications 12 or 16 power to adjust for hits at 75-250 yards

it seems the end goal is an affordable way to train hold overs , reticles , reading the wind and range estimation on a 22 trainer.

which isn't a very common thing

the appleseed targets can sure help as they are scaled to represent 1,2,3,400 yards while keeping you at 25,50,75,100 they look like almost like the real distance mirage being different at 100 than 400 but the scale is right.

my 22 LTR a 10/22 set up for Appleseed runs a Vortex 2-7x32 with the BDC hash reticle it isn't really the best thing for further than say 125 yards but you can teach a lot with it for about 130 dollars

mounted on my 10/22 is sits about 1 7/8 inches over bore
this is my sight in target to get it ready for some for the Appleseed style rimfire KD shoots we have for fun at our range.

the AS196 100yard 22 aqt target

there are 50 rounds on this and I know some are a little low I realized the group was low and re-shot it using the next hash mark
the hashes in the 2-7x32 vortex are 1.5moa for 50 , 4.5moa for 75y and 7.5moa for 100 yards the bottom is 11moa and would be 122 yards with a 25 yard zero
I know it isn't the mil or moa dot you were asking about but for the price it makes a good training tool and the windage hashes are 2moa each so you can still use it for range estimation fairly easily.

down sides , no focus , no target turrets and it is a bdc not a mil or moa retical
those reticals in a more budget optic are hard to find

I'll look into this more. I'll tell ya it's just plain FRUSTRATING though ! Like seriously they have all these scopes for under $200 with all these fancy BDC things and set turrets and all I want is a basic version of that. I honestly have such a bad taste in my mouth for caliber specific BDC's.... Idk though I might just be letting my personal feelings get in the way
