Nikon's new ProStaff Rimfire II riflescope, which comes in 3-9x40 and 4-12x40 and features Nikon's BDC 150 reticle, was designed and engineered specifically for .22 LR. Sighting-in while in the field can be easily accomplished with ¼-inch at 50-yard adjustments and Spring-Loaded Instant Zero-Reset turrets.
