22 rifles come with grooves in the top of their receivers for 'tip-off' scope mounts. Which is why most major manufacturers that offer a line of centerfire riflescopes also offer special rimfire models. These design considerations are why rimfire scopes are fine tuned for their specific purpose, actually making them superior for the job to most centerfire rifle scopes.

Therefore, Bushnell rimfire scopes are designed to be parallax free at 50 yards. 22 rimfire targets are engaged at distances considerably less than 100 yards (the distance at which most centerfire riflescopes are designed to be parallax free). Very high and very low magnification is neither necessary nor desirable. In fact, a fixed 4-power scope is just about perfect, and many experienced small game hunters end up leaving their variable power scopes set between 3x and 5x magnification. To hit small targets at moderate distances, medium magnification (and a medium field of view) is ideal. These two factors contribute to the low cost of most. Nor must the internals of the scope be designed to withstand the incredible acceleration of centerfire cartridge recoil. 22 rifle need not have a lot of eye relief, as recoil is not going to drive the scope back into the shooter's eye. Most targets will necessarily be engaged at distances from, say, 25 to 75 yards. 22 rimfire rifle is limited by the cartridge's remaining energy and rainbow trajectory. And so are most common plinking targets, from tin cans to bottle caps, shotshell cases, and 'clay' pigeons. 22 rimfire hunting/plinking scope? The magnification, field of view and other design elements must be suitable for the range, trajectory, recoil, and anticipated target size typically engaged with a rifle chambered for the. These are inexpensive scopes, but they offer surprisingly good optical and mechanical performance.

Both come in your choice of matte black or silver finishes. There is a 4x32mm fixed power model (#76-2243) and a 3-9x32mm variable power model (#76-2239). These constitute Bushnell's aptly named '.22 Rimfire Riflescope' line.
