I have a 22H on a Model 25, for about a month now. Haven't done initial clean and prep for setup. Was thinking of doing it this weekend but I haven't picked out a scope yet. I am thinking of using the scope off my M25 .204, I really don't like that scope that much. I might like it more on a rifle with less range like a 22 Hornet which I only effectively shoot out to 200yd.
The scope is a Simmons 44 Mag 6-24x44SF. Every shot jars the quick focus ring, a common issue with the scope that I late read in the reviews on Midway. It holds zero and adjusts and tracks fine but for me I can never get a crisp target picture at 100yd. Out in the field it is not as bad but it is never as clear and crisp as my Barska Varmint & Excavator scopes. It comes close at 100yd. Under 100yd it is good. Would make an excellent scope for a Mark II or 22mag M93. At the ranges I shoot my 93 HMR I wouldn't want it.
I've been thinking of swapping it onto a Mark II Heavy barrel but I still would need a scope for the .204 and another for that 22 Hornet.
