I have the nikon rimfire p scope (will get the exact details later) and really enjoy it. Shooting out to 100 yards is real nice with it.

What do you, or anyone else, think about the Sweet 22? I've read a lot of good things and there is one on Amazon for $50
It really all depends what you want in a scope. I have had a few different scopes on my 10/22. I have used it primarily for hunting. I personally did not have a sweet 22 scope but had a coworker that did. We were sighting in our Bmags one afternoon at 100 yds. He had a 10/22 he had mounted and sighted in previously and I shot 20 or 30 rounds with it at the target and then took it out to 200. He had the BBC reticle and it was Damn near dead on. We were shooting slightly down hill at 100 and I took it over the middle to 200 yds and was wearing out an a hubcap on an old pickup truck in the pasture. The area was protected by tree lines on both sides so there was very little wind. I will say we were shooting CCI stingers as well. If you were going to hunt and target shoot beyond 100 yds, then a BDC is great to have. If not then a basic cross hair reticle or what ever flavor you like should be just fine. Just make sure that once you zero it in, continue to use the same bullet weight/speed ammo to keep it consistant.

It will mostly be 100 yards but after I get comfortable with it I'd like the option to go out a bit further. I mentioned it earlier, the primary use will be getting the fundamentals of long range shooting with a .22 before I drop the money on a nicer centerfire long range gun. That's why I want the target turrets, to get used to adjusting for different ranges.

The price of the sweet 22 is what makes me wary of it, but I keep hearing good things about them.

I say buy it with BDC and get it mounted and sighted in. If you get serious, you can always sell it here and graduate to a more expensive piece.

How do I know if it has a bdc?
It should say MIL dot. None of the BSA sweet .22 scopes have BDC or MIL dot. The Sweet series uses numbers on the turrets to adjust for hold off once scope is zeroed. You have to read tiny numbers based on bullet weight and distance which is fine also.

I used to think I needed to be that precise, but now I don't use magnification and after a few shots you adapt and get shots off quicker IMO. I'm using a vortex strike fire and head shots are no problem up to say 60-70 yards. At around 80-100 I can generally put a bullet in the area of the upper or lower half of the squirel if it's standing up.
Hmm maybe ill strap a red dot on it for shits and giggles. My MRO is 1.1x zoom I think. Just to see how it is.

I have one of these as well and it's very nice. My favorite rimfire optic.

I have the sweet 17 and it's been just fine. Probably wouldn't have been my choice but it came on my savage.
