CartBest Rimfire Scope for .22 LR: Why the TRACT 22 FIRE 4-12×40 AO Is a Performance Upgrade for Precision Shooters
If you’re a rimfire shooter who demands more from your optic—more clarity, more precision, more confidence behind the trigger—then the TRACT 22 FIRE 4-12×40 AO Rimfire Scope deserves a serious look. Built by former Nikon guys who now lead TRACT, this scope is a masterclass in performance, value, and thoughtful design tailored specifically for the .22 LR platform.
Let’s break down why this scope is quickly becoming a favorite among silhouette shooters, plinkers, and precision rimfire competitors alike.
Crystal-Clear Glass, Even at Max Magnification
One of the most common complaints with budget-friendly scopes is the loss of clarity at higher magnification. Not here. The 22 FIRE delivers sharp, bright images all the way up to 12x thanks to fully multi-coated lenses and a smooth adjustable objective (AO) that dials from 10 to 300 meters. Whether you’re shooting steel pigs at 60 meters or stretching out to 200+ in long-range rimfire matches, this scope keeps your sight picture tack-sharp.
Extended Focus Range (EFR) Explained
One of the standout features of the 22 FIRE 4-12×40 AO is its adjustable objective (AO), which allows shooters to eliminate parallax and achieve razor-sharp focus from as close as 10 meters all the way to infinity. This is a game-changer for rimfire enthusiasts who shoot at varied distances—whether you’re plinking in the backyard, dialing in for silhouette matches, or pushing the limits in long-range .22 LR competitions. By fine-tuning the objective lens, you ensure that your reticle stays aligned with the target, minimizing aiming errors and maximizing precision. It’s the kind of control that transforms your shooting experience from “good enough” to dialed-in excellence.
T-Plex Dot Reticle: Precision Where It Counts
TRACT’s T-Plex dot reticle is purpose-built for rimfire accuracy. With bold posts for fast target acquisition and a fine crosshair that ends in a precise dot (¼” at 50 yards on 12x), it’s ideal for bullseye-style targets and match-grade shooting. The second focal plane design keeps the reticle size consistent across magnification levels—perfect for shooters who want a stable aiming point at any zoom.
Toolless Zero Reset Turrets: Dial In, Dial Back
The 22 FIRE’s turrets are a standout feature. With crisp, audible ¼ MOA clicks calibrated for 50 yards (not 100 like many centerfire scopes), adjustments are intuitive and precise. Once zeroed, simply lift, rotate, and drop the turret back to zero—no tools required. That means faster adjustments and more confidence when switching between distances or loads.
Built for the Rimfire Life
- 1-inch tube construction for easy ring compatibility
- Lightweight at just 16 oz and 14″ long—ideal for compact rimfire rifles
- 3.5″ of eye relief for comfortable shooting
- Smooth diopter and magnification adjustments for a custom fit to your eye
Field-Tested and Silhouette-Approved
CloverTac put the 22 FIRE through its paces in silhouette-style shooting and came away impressed. From 60-meter pig targets to longer-range tests, the scope delivered more hits than misses—thanks to its clarity, reticle precision, and reliable turret tracking. Compared to other scopes like Sturkas and Hawks, the 22 FIRE stood out for its tactile turrets and extended AO range.
