this is the tread to look at:
started new thread for my own journey continuing from this one Starter .22 for practical rimfire I plan to attend the match on April 24 at the Rod and gun club of New Bedford. This will be my first match of this kind. I am well versed in practical pistol shooting and 3 gun shooting. I...

the 'reasonable' goes far and beyond, and then beyond that. i am personally not a fan of a 20lbs dedicated 22lr PRS builds on a chassi, so i keep my wooden stock CZ 457 MTS as it is - but i definitely understand that is it nowhere near the stability of a voodoo build like in the thread above. you`ve got to decide on what middle ground to settle at, or if you want to go all the way.
or, hell, i may get some chassis on sale and move it there, but, so far i love it the way it is. stock trigger adjusts all the way down to a 1# pull weight.

On the scope question - this rifle shoots very tight, so, to see 22lr bullet holes at 100yds on a white paper will require at least 14x magnification.
if you will use splash targets - then most 12x scopes will do. those who compete and do not care of the weight usually drop a 5-25x scopes on them.
i have on mine right now a primary arms 3-18x scope, not ideal but magnification works well as i want to see those bullet holes up to 200yds.
did not see it - if you want to go for 300yds - you need a 20 or even 40 moa rail on it and then, with no doubt, get this:

scope is crazy clear, but, it is a 40oz glass. to me adding that much weight to this rifle is a sin, but, if you want to see everything clear at such a distance, you will need a good quality 25x glass with good turrets and zero stop.
yeah, and the groups it does at 100yds - pretty reasonable to me, it is 10 in there. i have a shitload of that supersonic aguila se and shoot it pretty much exclusively.
so far i did not see a dramatic groups improvement from subsonic 22lr ammo, so, just stick to what works.
