Recommend scope for .22 with BDC.

[Northslope Nimrod]

Buddy wants a new scope for his .22 rifle. I thought it would be nice to get one with a bullet drop compensator (BDC) just for fun.

Who makes good scopes with BDC that are calibrated to the .22lr? What ranges do they calibrate it for?

Here is what we want:

1. Variable power
2. Not too large of scope
3. Has Bullet Drop Compensator (what I mean is a reticle like the Leupold LR Duplex or Boone and Crocket; or the Bushnell DOA Reticle, etc)
4. Under $160

although on a rimfire I always try to go for adjustable objective

costs a fair bit more and I'm not even sure its as good as the prostaff, but it has the AO and I do prefer the burris style ballistic plex

No adjustable objective, but a great scope.

Now, if you want a BDC reticle, get it from the guys who designed it.

Are the Nikon and Burris calibrated for the .22? It looks like they are calibrated to Standard Calibers and to Magnum Calibers.
