I need a good scope for M&P 15-22. Not a tactical red dot, but for ~ 100 yards

[bender73]

Any ideas? I am a NooB with scopes. I want to practice shooting targets at like 100-150 yards. $100-200 range. Thanks!

Redfield or Nikon 3x9x40 around $150

do i need a "rimfire" scope or will the regular prostaff be fine???

I've got a Bushnell 3-9 on a Marlin Model 60 (Bushnell TRS-25 red dot on M&P15-22). That thing shoots dimes @ 50 yds, quarters @ 75yds. Beyond that, the budget ammo going through it becomes subsonic, and accuracy suffers greatly. The optic is just okay. It works, but it's not impressive.

The Bushnell was inexpesive, but a HUGE improvement over the BSA "rimfire" scope that was on it. If were going to do some serious benchrest action, I'd go with this Nikon. I haven't used it, but have used other Prostaffs. They transmit a much better view than the Bushnell, and Nikon's "Spot On" is fun to play with.

how about the P22? to mount AR style? 2-7

By the specs, the P22 should allow quicker target aquisition. I've got the red dot on the M&P15-22 for that reason, but the targets will be within 50 yds. I would think the P22 to be a good choice for both target and active shooting.

I have a Pro Staff.

Expect a 22 to drop like a brick at 150 yards and to get blown around by the wind. Budget dictates more than anything on a scope.

I have a bushnell trophy 3-9 x 40 on my 15-22 and love it I paid $130 on the bay

I have a primary arms 1-4x which runs about 119. It is great at the 100 yard range and lower. Fine for 150 too if you don't want to put it in the same hole.
