Sure, whats wrong with putting a $1400 scope on a $400 rifle? Anyway I was talking in general terms and I wouldn't recommend this particular scope on a .22 because it isn't designed for it.

Nobody uses anything but variable power tactical scopes anymore. Even the USAMU recommends tactical variable scopes in combat for the DMR instead of Trijicon/Eotech red dots+magnifiers. All that being said, yes, people who have Trijicon as a sponsor will be using the new Trijicon variable power VCOG 1-6x24 scope ($2380). Those who are not sponsored likely will be using the people's choice which is the Vortex Razor HD II 1-6x24 ($1299), but if the VCOG can be bought for $1400 more people will try it. There are lots of choices in the $1000-$1500 range. But there are still decent ones in the $300-$500 range for those on a budget. For a 15-22, of which I have 2, my speed competition one has a C-More red dot on it because we never have to shoot past 35 yards. Otherwise I generally use a $150-$200 1-4x tactical scope on both my 15-22 and my AR.22 upper.
